Cleaning and Care Instructions
Laminate floors are among the highest performing floors available, but they are not indestructible and minor cosmetic scuffing is normal wear for any laminate floors.
To ensure your floors perform well:
- Vacuum or dust mop to remove loose dirt or grit.
- To remove stubborn stains apply a light mist of laminate floor cleaner to the floor and remove with a dry mop. Never flood the floor with water or cleaner. Cleaning your floor with an inappropriate cleaner may negate the warranty.
- Wipe up spills immediately. Do not allow liquids to remain on your floor for prolonged periods of time.
- Do not use polishes, waxes or abrasive cleaners.
- Place walk-off mats at main traffic entrances and protective pads under furniture legs to prevent scratching.
- Ensure that any damp or leaking flower pots are not placed directly on the floor.
