Intro

We want your floor to look its best for many years to come and to help you achieve this we have laid out the following floorcare guidelines. Our flooring does not harbour dust mites or bacteria, making it ideal for the home environment.

Initial cleaning after your new floor has been installed:

  • Avoid walking on the floor for at least 24 hours following completion of installation
  • Sweep or vacuum to prevent loose dirt or grit from scratching the floor
  • Polishing your floor can be beneficial to help prevent slight surface scratches and to provide further protection

Do and don't

✓ Do 

Install barrier mats at entrances to pick up grit and moisture. (Please note, some rubber-backed mats may discolour the floor).

Ensure your furniture is fitted with protective pads where necessary to prevent scratches.

Use protective cups under heavy furniture to prevent indentation.

Remove spillages as quickly as possible to reduce risk of staining and causing slip hazards.

Always use clean equipment when maintaining your floor.

Regularly trim pets claws as these can cause fine scratches.

✗ Don’t 

Use abrasive liquids or metal scouring pads as these can damage the floor.

Clean the floor with solvents, caustic detergents, washing up liquids, soap powders, bleach, furniture polishes, petroleum based products, pine gels, stain removers or highly coloured products. Such products may make the floor slippery or cause permanent damage.

Drag furniture with unprotected feet across the floor.
