Maintenance and Care

Please Note: Damages resulting from improper care and maintenance of the floor are not

covered by warranty.

1. Sweep or dust mop regularly. If vacuuming, use vacuum head with a brush or felt, not a head

film. For tough spots, use damp cloth or apply a little alcohol or nail polish remover on the clean

cloth, rub till spot is removed.

7. Do not use steel wool or scouring powder which will scratch the floor.

8. Minimize abrasive and dirt by placing mats on both sides of exterior doors. Area rugs in high-

traffic areas are also a good idea.

casters clean.
