Care & Maintenance Guide

Taking care of your new floors is a must, so that their magnificent finish is preserved. By following a few simple care and maintenance guidelines, your floor will continue to be a thing of beauty for years to come.

Preventative Maintenance

• Installing good quality mats (which must not be rubber-based) inside and outside of external doors to trap grit and remove moisture from shoes is a sensible precaution and will reduce the possibility of scratches.

• In high traffic areas, or areas where spillages may occur, the use of mats is recommended for added protection.

• All furniture should have felt pads fitted to the base of legs, or any other areas that come in contact with the floor, to prevent scratches. On heavy furniture, felt backed castors can be used if required.

• Avoid using wheeled chairs (i.e. office furniture), or ensure that a large, good quality office mat is used to prevent indentations in the flooring.

• Rubber-based items (e.g. the underside of some mats, castors under furniture, and rubber-tipped furniture feet) should not come into direct contact with the floor. Rubber-based items may discolour your flooring.

• Keep pet’s nails trimmed to protect the floor from scratches.

• All Vinyl Plank react when exposed to direct sunlight, and this may cause colour changes or fading. Curtains, blinds or UV-resistant films on windows must be used. Such precautions will help reduce exposure to direct sunlight and will protect the flooring. Furniture and rugs should be moved occasionally so that the effect of sunlight on the floor is uniform.

• Any liquids spilt on the floor must be wiped up immediately.

• Oils and fats can be highly penetrative to the surface of your floor causing irreversible staining in some instances. Spills of this nature must be carefully cleaned up immediately. The use of of a small amount of non-citrus pH neutral mild dishwashing liquid in this circumstance is acceptable. Ensure the area is cleaned and dried immediately to prevent staining of the floor.

• Vinyl Planks must be installed in a ‘vinyl flooring friendly environment’ in which the area is occupied and protected from direct heat and sunlight. If not protected, the product could expand and contract abnormally, sliding doors and/or windows therefore need to be covered by blinds or curtains. Heating and cooling systems must be in place and used to control the internal temperatures. KEEP THE ENVIRONMENT TEMPERATURE BETWEEN 0ºC - 35ºC. Weather strips on all external doors can be installed to help maintain the environment within the building. They will also reduce extreme swings in temperature and moisture within the building.

General Cleaning

• NEVER USE STEAM MOPS TO CLEAN YOUR VINYL PLANKS

• NEVER USE WET & DRY ELECTRIC VACUUM CLEANERS TO CLEAN YOUR VINYL PLANKS

Cleaning Products Recommended For Use by the Manufacturer

Daily Cleaning - SelectCare+ Hard Floor Cleaner

Daily Cleaning

• Use a suitable spray mop and a pH neutral floor cleaner to clean the floor surface when required. This will remove stains, dirt, footprints, and any other marks that may be present.

• Sweeping of the floor should be carried out regularly to remove loose dirt, grit, and dust. Use a suitable dust cleaning pad or a soft broom.

• If vacuum cleaning, the cleaning head must have a soft brush to avoid damage to the floor.

• After sweeping the floor, spray the surface sparingly with a pH neutral floor cleaner and clean using a microfiber cleaning pad. Rinse the mop regularly in clean water and replace when dirty.

• If spills occur, they must be wiped up quickly as possible and cleaned with a pH neutral cleaner. The use of a lightly damp or ‘well wrung out’ mop is appropriate for larger spills.

• Excess water (including wet mopping) is to be avoided.

• Pull the mop back towards you and wipe lengthways across the floor, making zigzag movements across the floor.

• Make sure floor is wiped dry with a microfiber cloth and no moisture is left on the floor after cleaning.

• DO NOT USE scouring products and/or any wax or varnish coating on the floor.

Avoid the Following:

• Indentation from stilettos or spiked heels.

• Pulling or pushing furniture or other objects across the floor.

• Using abrasive cleaning materials, or harsh detergents/household cleaners on the floor. These cleaning methods/materials will harm the surface of the floor and may cause physical damage to the planks.

• The use of solvents of any kind to clean the floor. Methylated Spirits, Turpentine, Bleach, Ammonia, Eucalyptus, Citrus, Vinegar and/or similar solutions will damage the floor surface. All spillages and stains must be cleaned immediately with a pH neutral cleaner.

• Urine spillages MUST be avoided at all times, as it will damage the flooring surface.

• Exposure to direct sunlight through sliding doors and/or windows. Vinyl Planks needs to be protected from direct sunlight by blind or curtains.

• Excessive water should not be used.

• Steam mops and wet & dry vacuum are not allowed for Vinyl Planks under any circumstances.

Acceptable Quality and User Guidelines

This vinyl plank flooring is designed for internal environments including floors, walls, etc, and is not warranted for external use. Furthermore, vinyl plank flooring should not be installed as a floated floor as it is only warranted as a direct stick installation.

Vinyl plank flooring must be installed in a regulated and liveable environment in which the area is occupied and protected from direct heat and sunlight. If not protected, the product could expand and contract abnormally, sliding doors and/ or windows therefore need to be covered by blinds or curtains. Heating and cooling systems must be in place and used to control the internal temperatures. The temperature of the dwelling must always be maintained between 18-28ºC and a relatively humidity of 40-65%.

Load Bearing Capabilities

Both the weight and distribution area of loads placed on vinyl plank flooring can potentially affect the flooring’s integrity. Care must be taken to avoid the below loads:

1. High Point Loads: Avoid placing objects with concentrated weight against the flooring as these can damage the floor surface. Examples include but are not limited to stiletto heels.

2. Dynamic Loads: The flooring may be more susceptible to damage from dynamic loads caused by rolling, sliding, or dragging heavy objects e.g. office chairs, fridges etc.

3. Constant Loads: Concentrated loads from items such as furniture legs or cabinets should be mitigated by using felt pads to distribute the weight and minimise potential wear or damage.

Major Failure

Vinyl plank flooring is highly resistant to chips, scratches, stains, and wear, but is still not “proof” in any respects (i.e., scratch proof).

Slight colour and/or pattern variation from batch to batch may occur, minor gaps between the joins of each board might be caused by temperature change. Please note these minor gaps, batch colour and/or pattern variation, chips, scratches are not considered as major failure. Once the floor has been installed, it is considered that the product has been accepted by the installer/contractor.
