For general cleaning, use a dust mop or vacuum cleaner with the correct hard surface attachment – never a rotating brush, floor scrubbers, jet mops, buffers or similar products. 

Floorings are factory finished and protected with several layers of technically advanced high quality UV Cured Urethane
Finish. This finish is tough, durable, smooth and easy to maintain. The Manufacturer recommends Bona Hardwood Floor
Cleaner and Bona Micro-Fiber Mops for maintaining UV Cured Flooring. Contact a retailer or visit https://us.bona.com/
products/hardwood-floor-cleaner-36oz.html or call (800) 872-5515 for the nearest dealer, technical department, or advice
on maintaining or restoring the Floor’s finish.

The species of wood used to manufacture the Flooring is resistant to deep scratching and indentations (impact
compression). However, the amount of impact pressure is determined by the object’s weight and the size of the impact
area

• Sweep, vacuum or dust-mop the Floor regularly.
• Trim the claws of pets regularly to reduce scratches and indentations.
• Glue protective felt pads on the legs of all chairs and furniture to reduce scratches, indentations and damage to the Floor. Check them regularly for wear and embedded grit. Replace as needed.
• Wipe up spills IMMEDIATELY.
• Stop dirt at the entrance. Grit, gravel, sand and dirt are enemies of hardwood floors.
• Make it a habit to keep the wood Floor clean.
• Vacuum with a vengeance. Vacuum regularly with a vacuum that does not use a beater bar head or attachments intended for carpet.
• Protect the Floor when moving appliances or furniture. Lay down a sheet of clean quarter-inch plywood or Masonite to protect the Floor. Use a dolly.

• Use plastic film or other non-breathing coverings as humidity buildups can cause the floor to become damaged.
• Expose the floor to excessive sunlight since it can cause color fading or discoloration.
• Use water to clean or mop the Floor. Water causes deterioration of the wood itself and the finish.
• Use round headed chair or furniture leg glides.
• Allow spike heels to indent and damage the floor. Those in disrepair are especially harmful.
• Track in sand, grit or dirt onto the wood floor. A grain of sand has 26 razor-sharp edges. That is like walking a floor with sandpaper on the soles of shoes.
• Drag furniture or heavy objects across the surface of the Floor.
• Use household dust treatment products as this will make the Floor slick.
• Use cleaning tools or machines that apply water or steam to the wood Floor.
• Roll or slide the refrigerator on the wood Floor. The weight may severely damage the Floor.
• Use rubber or foam-backed plastic mats, as they may discolor the Floor.
• Allow ice cubes to melt or water to dry on the wood Floor
