3. Vacuum, sweep or dust mop your floor once a week, or

more if needed. The vacuum head must be brush or felt,
and a wand attachment is preferable. Do not use vacuums
with beater bars or hard heads. A Bruce swivel-head mop
with soft cover is also highly recommended to eliminate
finer particles of grit and dirt that can act like sandpaper
on hardwood floors.

4. Spills and tracked-in dirt should be wiped up immediately.

For spot cleaning, apply Bruce Hardwood & Laminate
Floor Cleaner onto a clean cloth and rub onto the spot.
Never apply wax treatments to your urethane-coated floor.

5. Regularly clean the floor with Bruce Hardwood & Laminate

Floor Cleaner using the recommended swivel-head mop
with cloth cover. Spray the floor cleaner directly onto the
floor or on the mop cover. DO NOT allow excess cleaner
to remain on the floor’s surface. Excess liquid may
damage the fiber of the wood.

Finish Floors

Spots Caused by Food/Water/Animals

• Apply Bruce Hardwood & Laminate Floor Cleaner (formerly

Bruce Dura-Luster No-Wax Floor Cleaner) to a clean soft
cloth.

• Rub the area to remove the stain or spot.
• More stubborn spots may require additional cleaning with

odorless mineral spirits, followed by cleaning with Bruce
Hardwood & Laminate Floor Cleaner.

Grease/Lipstick/Crayon/Ink Spots/Rubber Heel Marks

• Apply Bruce Hardwood & Laminate Floor Cleaner to a clean

soft cloth.

• Rub the area to remove the stain or spot.
• If stain remains, rub with a cloth dampened with odorless

mineral spirits and follow by cleaning the area with Bruce
Hardwood & Laminate Floor Cleaner.

Chewing Gum/Candle Wax

• Apply a sealed plastic bag filled with ice on top of the

deposit.

• Wait until deposit becomes brittle enough to crumble off.
• After deposit has been removed, clean entire area with

Bruce Hardwood & Laminate Floor Cleaner.

Minor Abrasions/Scratches

• Use a Bruce Touch-Up Kit or Bruce Acrylic Filler, that blends

with your factory stained floor color to make minor repairs.

• Apply Bruce Fresh Finish™ or Bruce Low Gloss Fresh Finish

to recondition larger areas.

Chips, broken edges and gaps

• Blend area with appropriate Bruce touch-up pen or fill stick

from a Bruce Touch-Up Kit or the appropriate Bruce Acrylic
Filler.

Deep Scratches/Gouges

• Individual planks, strips or parquets that are heavily gouged

or damaged may be repaired with Bruce Acrylic Filler or
Bruce Touch-Up Kit. Major damage will require board
replacement.

• If needed, the entire floor can be refurbished by applying

one or more coats of Bruce Fresh Finish or Bruce Low
Gloss Fresh Finish.

Initial Care:

For Bruce Dura-Satin (Wax) Finish Floors

Following installation, darker shaded floors should be waxed
with Bruce Dark ’n’ Rich

®

and light shaded floors should be

waxed with Bruce Lite ’n’ Natural

®

.

Ongoing Routine Care and Maintenance:

For Bruce Dura-Satin (Wax) Finish Floors

1.

NEVER CLEAN OR WET MOP WITH WATER.

Water may

permanently damage the floor.

2. Sweep or vacuum the floor to remove loose dirt before it

can scratch or be ground into the floor's surface.

3. Wax the floor once or twice a year, about as often as you

would shampoo your carpet.

4. DO NOT use Bruce Hardwood & Laminate Floor Cleaner

(formerly Bruce Dura-Luster No-Wax Floor Cleaner) on
wax finish floors.

5. DO NOT use any wax or cleaner that must be mixed with

water such as oil soap, as this may ruin your floor and
result in a loss of warranty.

Periodic Care:

(Wax) Finish Floors:

Buffing your hardwood floor between waxing will restore the
original sheen. Large, heavyweight buffing machines impart a
much higher sheen to wax finish than small, lightweight
machines. Use a fiber bristle brush attachment only. It may be
desirable to wax the floor slightly more often in drier climates,
during the winter, and in heavy traffic areas.

(Wax) Finish Floors

Spots Caused by Food/Water/Animals

• Rub lightly with a scrub pad (3M white or equal) dampened

with either Dark ’n’ Rich

®

or Lite ’n’ Natural

®

.

• If this does not remove the spot, repeat the process with

odorless mineral spirits.

• Wipe dry and rub on a little wax. Then buff with a clean

cloth, or the dry end of a scrub pad (3M white or equal).

• If an animal spot remains, apply household bleach to the

spot (or oxalic acid from your druggist); let stand about an
hour, rinse with a damp cloth, wipe dry, and smooth with a
fine sandpaper. Touch up the spot with a Bruce Touch-Up
Marker which will blend with your factory-stained floors. Let
the stain dry, then wax and buff with a clean cloth or dry
scrub pad (3M white or equal). (Protect your hands from the
oxalic acid with rubber gloves.)

Grease/Lipstick/Crayon/Rubber Heel Marks

• Rub spot with a scrub pad (3M white or equal) soaked with

Dark ’n’ Rich or Lite ’n’ Natural.

• If the stain persists, repeat the process using odorless

mineral spirits. Then apply a light coat of Dark ’n’ Rich or
Lite ’n’ Natural.

• Let dry, then buff with a clean cloth or the dry end of a

scrub pad (3M white or equal).

Ink Spots

• Try household bleach or the oxalic acid treatment. Or lightly

sand, wipe dry, and retouch with a Bruce Touch-Up Marker
which will blend with your factory stained floors.

• Let stain dry, then wax with Dark ’n’ Rich or Lite ’n’ Natural

and buff with a clean cloth, or a dry scrub pad (3M white or
equal).
