cleaners. If this happens, rinse and wipe dry
quickly.

Salt, mustard, and mayonnaise
can cause
pitting if left on the steel sink surface. If
spilled, clean and rinse immediately.

A high iron content
in the water (hard water)

appearance. If noticed, dry towel sink after
each use.

VINYL FLOORING
Care and Maintenance
You can easily maintain the beauty of your
vinyl flooring with little effort, by following
these recommendations:
•
Sweep or vacuum floor daily (use a vacuum
without a beater bar head.) Remove loose dirt
with a soft brush or Swiffer
®
type product.
•
For more intense cleaning, use a non-abrasive
cleanser, such as Mr. Clean
®
. Rinse with clean
water.
NOTE: Floor cleaners containing waxes,
brighteners, or gloss agents are not
recommended.
•
Regular cleaning with solvent-based
chemicals may adversely affect the topcoat
performance.
•
Do not use undiluted bleach or leave a dilution
of bleach on the floor for longer than one hour.
•
Vinyl flooring is extremely durable and long
lasting. It is normal for the floor to show some
denting and dimpling where furniture sets due
to the soft nature of the material. The dents are
not permanent and will come out over time.
Maintenance Tips
•
Install protection (such as pads or casters) on
furniture with legs or sharp edges. This
protection should not contain bitumen, which
may cause brown stains.
NOTE: Faulty pads and casters should be
removed and replaced.
•
Burning cigarettes and matches can cause
damage to the flooring.
•
Use doormats (that do not contain bitumen) to
keep out most of the dirt and dust.
•
Remove spills immediately with a damp
cloth, followed by rinsing with clean water.
•
The use of stiletto heels is not recommended,
as they may cause permanent damage to the
flooring.
•
Protect flooring from prolonged direct
sunlight exposure.
Treatment of Stains
Acids, alkali, alcoholic beverages, coffee, soft
drinks, ketchup, fruit, fruit juices, food,
vegetables, mustard, ink, and iodine:
•
Remove the stain with lukewarm water and a
cloth or sponge. If necessary, clean with a soft
nylon pad and non-abrasive mild detergent or
resilient floor cleaner.
Heel marks:
•
Clean as soon as possible with a soft nylon pad
and non-abrasive mild detergent or resilient
floor cleaner.
Asphalt, candle grease, chewing gum, fat, oil,
tar, and shoe polish:
•
Gently remove with a blunt instrument and
treat with a soft nylon pad and non-abrasive
floor cleaner.
