recommends the following initial maintenance procedures. For detailed

recommendations, see the RI Maintenance Instructions below:

• Use non-staining matting system at exterior doors that is appropriate

for soil load and weather conditions.

• Use appropriate floor protectors, glides and wheels and do not drag or

slide heavy objects across the surface of the floor.

• Do not use abrasive cleaners that can scratch the floor surface or

detergent cleaners that leave a residue.

Day 1

• Stay off the new floor. Minimize traffic.

Day 2 to 4

• Dust mop, sweep or vacuum the floor to remove loose dirt and grit.

• Lightly damp mop (well wrung out mop) floor with properly diluted

Neutral pH cleaner solution.

• Choose from multiple routine maintenance options to suit individual

site requirements, i.e. traffic, environment and use of space.

MAINTENANCE PRECAUTIONS AND SAFETY INFORMATION

MAINTENANCE The type or frequency of traffic on your Tile or Plank will determine the frequency of maintenance needed. The color of the floor will have some bearing on how much care may be necessary. Regular adherence to an effective maintenance program should include: Thorough dirt and grit regulation, Prompt removal of spills and stains, Protection of the floor surface. The most effective part of any floor maintenance program is the simplest: sweep, dust mop or vacuum DAILY, or more frequently if needed.

ROUTINE COMMERCIAL MAINTENANCE RI Tile and Plank will perform commercially provided a sound maintenance program is followed. • Light daily sweeping, dust mopping, or vacuuming will prevent dirt and grit particles from being ground into the surface of the tile. • Non-rubber, non-staining walk off mats should be used to control the amount of dirt and grit reaching the floor. The mats should be as wide as the doorway and thick enough to trap dirt and should be cleaned on a regular basis.
