Use and Care Guide

MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES
Periodic cleaning will be necessary to help maintain the oor’s appearance. Always pre-vacuum or dust mop before any type of cleaning. Shaw Hard
Surface FloorCleaner or appropriate hardwood oor cleaning agents (neutral pH cleaners) are recommended.
Do not use abrasive cleaners or cleaning agents that leave dull residues on the surface of the oors. Never wet mop the oor with water and do not
allow excess cleaner to remain on the oor’s surface as this may permanently damage the wood.
Steam cleaners are not recommended.
It is recommended to use a at microber damp mop pad when mopping the oor using a neutral pH cleaner, such as Shaw Hard Surface Flooring
Cleaner or Bona Wood Floor Cleaner. Do not use a mop and bucket system.
Expedite drying with air movers or fans.
Do not use oil soaps, liquid or paste wax products, or cleaners with citrus type oils, Tung oils, silicon or ammoniated products as well as 2 in 1 cleaners
with polish additives. Problems from these type products can affect the oor which would not be considered in the warranty.
Do not use tape to secure oor protection during construction or renovation.Use ram board or similar to protect the oor.
SPOT AND SPILL REMOVAL
Remove wet spills promptly by blotting with white paper or cloth towels.
Dried spots should be removed by Shaw Hard Surface FloorCleaner with gentle agitation from a clean towel or cloth. Always blot dry.
Do not use detergents or abrasive cleaners since these products can result in a dull residue and appearance.
Use rubbing alcohol (isopropyl alcohol) with a clean white cloth for spots requiring a solvent type cleaner that hardwood cleaning agents cannot
remove.
Please note that some stain conditions may become permanent.
