How To Care For Your Floor
Immediately After Installation
- Protect the sealed seams on your flooring for at least 16 hours after seam sealer application to ensure a proper seam bond.
- Furniture should not be placed on the floor for at least 24 hours until the adhesive has had adequate time to dry.
- Always move heavy furniture and appliances with care to avoid gouging or tearing the floor. First, lay strips of plywood or hardboard panels on the floor. Then roll, "walk" or slide these items on the strips. Do not push or pull appliances and heavy furniture without taking these precautions.
- Wash your floor using a suitable floor cleaner 24 hours after installation.
Caution: Hard surfaced flooring can become slippery when wet. Allow time for the floor to dry after washing. Immediately wipe up wet areas from spills or wet feet. Place mats at outside entrances to prevent water, snow or ice from being tracked onto your floor. Improper polishes or finishes can also cause slipperiness.
Preventative Care
- Make sure furniture legs have large surface, non-staining floor protectors. Replace small, narrow metal or dome-shaped glides with smooth, flat glides that are in flat contact with the floor. Glides should be equipped with self-adhesive felt pads to avoid scratching the surface of the floor. The pads should be checked periodically for grit and wear and replaced when necessary.
- Place mats at outside entrances to prevent dirt, grit and soil from being tracked onto your floor. Use 100% latex- backed mats, because some rubber-backed mats or carpets may permanently stain your floor.
- Draw drapes and blinds during peak periods of strong sunlight. Floor covering, like other home
furnishing products, may discolor or fade when overexposed to the sun. - Heat-producing appliances such as a refrigerator or range, or hot air registers emitting a direct flow of heat in excess of 120°F, even intermittently, can scorch, burn, discolor or fade your floor. Cigarettes, matches and other very hot objects can also damage your floor.
Regular Care
- Sweep or vacuum regularly to remove dirt and grit that can abrade or scratch your new floor. Do not use a vacuum with a beater brush, because it may damage the floor's surface.
- Wipe up spills promptly with a damp cloth or mop.
- Use a disposable wet cloth mop for regular cleaning. Periodically wash your floor with a suitable floor cleaner or diluted, clear, non-sudsy ammonia.
- Do not use mop and polish products, dishwashing liquids and oil-based cleaners. These may leave a residue which can attract dirt and dull your floor's finish. Avoid cleaners that contain abrasives, solvents or a high concentration of acids or alkalis which may permanently damage your floor.
- Do not apply polish to K-Tech for Kitchens flooring.
- Do not buff the floor covering.
