Keep dirt, sand, grits and water off the floor by placing mats in front of all entrances to your home.

- Remove shoes with spiked or damaged heel before walking on the floor to prevent scratches and dents.
- Keep pets’ claws trimmed, paws clean and free of dirt or soil.
- Always apply felt pads under any furniture or chair legs to prevent scratches and to ease movement. Keep pads clean at all times and regularly check and replace as necessary.
- Protect the floor when moving heavy furniture or large appliances. Place on mat and slide smoothly over floor.
- Use rugs in high wear areas i.e. in heavily traveled spots and pivot points such as room entries and stair landings.
- Never flood or wet-mop the floor with water or any other liquid products. Severe damage may occur that void the warranty.
- Wipe-up spills immediately with damp cloth.
- Exposure to sunlight with its UV ray accelerates oxidation and aging of materials. This may change the color of the floor. Periodically rearrange the furniture will allow the floor to age evenly.
