SPC Flooring Care & Maintenance

Sweep or vacuum daily using soft bristle attachments.
Place a walk-off mat at outside entrances to reduce the amount of dirt brought into your home.Do not use mats with a latex or rubber backing since these backings can cause permanentdiscoloration.
Clean up spills and excessive liquids immediately.
Damp mop as needed with water, or with a high-quality, pH-neutral vinyl cleaner such as BonaPro Series Luxury Vinyl Floor Cleaner. Do not use solvent-based cleaners, waxes, oils, bleaches,abrasive cleaners, or products recommended for other types of flooring.
Avoid any cleaners that describe themselves as a polish or ‘cleaner and polish in one.’ Polishescan leave a residue that will dull the finish, collect dirt, and can be extremely difficult to remove.
Use proper floor protection devices such as felt protectors under furniture to preventscratching.
Do not drag or slide heavy objects across the floor.
Avoid walking on your vinyl floors with cleats, sports shoes and high heels.
When moving heavy furniture, do not slide it on the flooring. Pick up the furniture completelyand place it on a protective surface such as cardboard or plywood so that the furniture can be‘walked’ along that surface.
After installation, make sure that the flooring is never be exposed to temperatures less than 0˚F(-15°C) or greater than 140˚F (60°C). Direct sunlight on flooring can produce surprisingly hightemeperatures. Window treatments may be necessary to protect the flooring from high heat.
