LAMINATE FLOOR

• Never use wax, polish, oils, soaps, detergents, shine enhancers/restorers, or varnish on the oor.

• For dry maintenance, we recommend a dust mop or vacuum cleaner with soft bristle brush attachment only. No beater bars or spinning heads.

• For slightly damp maintenance, we recommend an approved laminate cleaner or a solution of 1 cup vinegar per gallon of water, which you spray directly

and lightly on a duster. Never put moisture directly on the oor. Always wipe dry immediately until no more moisture is visible on the oor. The use of other

cleaning products might damage your oor

• For bevel edge products, we strongly recommend dry cleaning only.

• Do not use any type of cleaning machine such as steam cleaners, spray mops, power cleaners or buffers.

• Wet maintenance will damage the oor. Remove any water immediately. Uniclic® laminate ooring is not suitable for use in damp spaces like saunas.

• Remove stubborn stains carefully with acetone-based ngernail polish remover. Never use scouring products.

Att: Installers. Caution—Wood Dust

Sawing, sanding and machining wood products can produce wood dust. Airborne wood dust can cause respiratory, skin and eye irritation. The International

Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified wood dust as a nasal carcinogen in humans.

Precautionary Measures: Power tools should be equipped with a dust collector. If high dust levels are encountered use an appropriate NIOSH designated

dust mask. Avoid dust contact with skin and eyes. First Aid Measures in case of irritations: In case of irritation flush eyes and skin with water for at least 15

minutes. For questions, please contact 1-888-387-9881, option 3.

Important Health Notice for Minnesota Residents Only:

THESE BUILDING MATERIALS EMIT FORMALDEHYDE. EYE, NOSE, AND THROAT IRRITATION, HEADACHE, NAUSEA AND A VARIETY OF ASTHMALIKE

SYMPTOMS, INCLUDING SHORTNESS OF BREATH, HAVE BEEN REPORTED AS A RESULT OF FORMALDEHYDE EXPOSURE. ELDERLY PERSONS AND YOUNG

CHILDREN, AS WELL AS ANYONE WITH A HISTORY OF ASTHMA, ALLERGIES, OR LUNG PROBLEMS, MAY BE AT GREATER RISK. RESEARCH IS CONTINUING

ON THE POSSIBLE LONG-TERM EFFECTS OF EXPOSURE TO FORMALDEHYDE. REDUCED VENTILATION MAY ALLOW FORMALDEHYDE AND OTHER

CONTAMINANTS TO ACCUMULATE IN THE INDOOR AIR. HIGH INDOOR TEMPERATURES AND HUMIDITY RAISE FORMALDEHYDE LEVELS. WHEN A HOME

IS TO BE LOCATED IN AREAS SUBJECT TO EXTREME SUMMER TEMPERATURES, AN AIR-CONDITIONING SYSTEM CAN BE USED TO CONTROL INDOOR

TEMPERATURE LEVELS. OTHER MEANS OF CONTROLLED MECHANICAL VENTILATION CAN BE USED TO REDUCE LEVELS OF FORMALDEHYDE AND OTHER

INDOOR AIR CONTAMINANTS. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING THE HEALTH EFFECTS OF FORMALDEHYDE, CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR OR CALL

LOCAL HEALTH DEPARTMENT.

THE PRODUCTS IN THIS BOX DO NOT CONTAIN ASBESTOS. WARNING! IF REMOVING EXISTING FLOORING, DO NOT MECHANICALLY CHIP OR PULVERIZE

EXISTING RESILIENT FLOORING, BACKING, LINING FELT, ASPHALTIC, “CUTBACK” ADHESIVES OR OTHER ADHESIVES. PREVIOUSLY INSTALLED RESILIENT

FLOORING MAY CONTAIN EITHER ASBESTOS FIBERS OR CRYSTALLINE SILICA.

Avoid creating dust. Inhalation of such dust is a cancer and respiratory tract hazard. Smoking by individuals exposed to asbestos fibers greatly increases the

risk of serious bodily harm. Unless positively certain that the existing product is a non-asbestos containing material, you must presume it contains asbestos.

Regulations may require that the material be tested to determine asbestos content and may govern the removal and disposal of material. See current edition

of the Resilient Floor Covering Institute (RFCI) publication “Recommended Work Practices for Removal of Resilient Floor Coverings” for detailed information

and instructions on removing all resilient covering structures.
