Keep Your Luxury Vinyl Floors Looking Great For Years to Come
Basic Everyday Cleaning
Simply sweep, mop or dry vacuum the floor regularly. Do not use soap-based detergents, caustic cleaners or abrasive cleaners.
Special Note for Earthwerks
Always remove excess water. It not only can cause slip and fall hazards, but on unwelded tile floors, the water can attack the adhesive, break the bond, and cause the flooring to release from the substrate.
Spot Protection & Removal
Most domestic agents will not harm the floor, however all residue of cleaning agents should be removed to avoid discoloration

Substances That Can Cause Discoloration
Tar, nail polish, varnish, spices, shoe polish, paints containing acetone, lipstick, solvent-based paints, rubber mats, coco-fiber mats, asphalt, permanent marker pens, crayons.
If these come in contact with flooring, take the following actions:
1. Wipe immediately with a paper towel or cloth
2. Remove any dried spots with a plastic scraper
3. Wash area with a damp cloth/sponge and diluted cleaning agent.
4. For difficult spots, try using a firm nylon sponge
5. Should the spot still remain, moisten a cloth
with Clear Odorless mineral spirits and rub
with circular movements over the whole area.
Note: Always test in a inconspicuous area to check
for compatibility of the mineral spirits and flooring

Preventive Measures & Tips On Care
Regular cleaning is more beneficial to the floorcovering and more cost effective than occasional heavy cleaning.
The use of either rubber-backed mats or coco-fiber mats is not acceptable since they are known to cause yellow stains in vinyl floors.
Never slide heavy furniture or fittings over an unprotected floor or severe scratching may result. The floor should be protected from the wheels or feet of fittings, avoiding rubber products, which may stain.
