A doormat should be laid inside the front door to help protect against dirt and sand.
Chair castors should be of type W (soft). For additional protection, polycarbonate mats under castor
chairs should be used.
Avoid sharp or pointed objects with concentrated weight such as high heels on your floor.
Prolonged contact of plasticizer-containing material (e.g. rubber, latex, plastics…) with the surface may
cause non-reversible stain of the floor. This will not appear immediately, but as a consequence of the
migration of substances and subsequent exposure to light. To avoid this kind of discoloration, use castors
made of polyurethane. If this is impossible, we recommend using foot/castor cups.
CLEANING
Dry-clean your floor using a mop, broom or vacuum cleaner. Dust and dirt behave like sanding paper and
are thus to be removed immediately. If necessary (heavier soiling) the floor can be damp-mopped using
an appropriate pH neutral cleaning product. Two neutral products we have found to work well are Simply
Green and Fabuloso.
MAINTENANCE
The surface treatment is designed to provide the initial protection for the floor covering. However an
application of a recommended floor polish will be required eventually to provide ongoing protection.
The level and intensity of traffic will determine how soon the maintenance can become necessary.
BASIC CLEANING
Manual or mechanical basic cleaning can become necessary in case of heavy stains which cannot be
removed during maintenance cleanings. To basic-clean your floor, use an appropriate “remover”, applying
as little solution as possible and working in sections. Damp-mop the floor subsequently with clean water.
After the floor has dried completely, a new maintenance care must be performed.
Basic cleanings should be carried out as seldom as possible.
