• Clean up spills as quickly as possible:

• Place interior and exterior mats at entrances to trap sand, grit, and other substances.

  • Periodically check the felt tips for wear or buildup of grit/debris and replace as needed.

• Fix rolling furniture with soft rubber casters.

  • Be sure to wear slippers or socks.

    • Your feet have oil on them that will transfer onto the floor.

  • Be sure to read any care and maintenance literature provided by the manufacturer because different styles and finishes can each have their own unique guidelines.

  • Floors Etc. will provide you with any product warranties upon completion of your project.

General Weekly Cleaning

1. Vacuum or Sweep

   • The best method of removing dirt and grit is vacuuming.

   • If using the Bona® Pro Hardwood Floor Mop to dry mop, remove any loose dirt or grit on the mop afterwards by rinsing with water and wringing out the mop pad.

     • This should be done prior to cleaning floor.

2. Clean:

   • Use a mop with warm water.

     • Use water by itself or use a manufacturer-recommended cleaning product.

       • This should be a cleaner that rinses clean, like Bona® Stone, Tile & Laminate Cleaner (also recommended for LVT).

For Spills and Messes

• Wipe up as quickly as possible

• Wipe the area clean with warm water – if necessary, use a no-residue cleaner, like Bona® Stone, Tile & Laminate Cleaner (also recommended for LVT / LVP).

• If a stain remover is needed – follow Manufacturer Warranty and Care Guidelines.
