Residential Care & and Maintenance Guidelines:

 

To help protect and keep your floor clean, following these proper care and maintenance guidelines:

1) Preventative Measures:
a) Prevent indentations and scratches by the use of non-staining floor protectors on the legs
of chairs, appliances and all heavy furniture.
i) Floor protectors should be at least one inch in diameter.
b) Do not flood floor or subject floor to standing water.
c) Protect your floor from tracked-in dirt by using mats at all outside entrances. Mats should have
an anon-rubberized backing and be marked as non-staining.
d) Avoid tracking in tar or asphalt from driveways.
e) Avoid high heel shoes on your floor as they can cause permanent indentations.
f) Protect your floors against burns. Burns from cigarettes, matches or other extremely hot items can cause
permanent damage.
g) Avoid exposure to direct sunlight for prolonged periods, as this can cause discoloration.

2) Cleaning and Maintenance:
a) Sweep the floor regularly with a soft bristle broom to remove loose dirt. For every day
maintenance, a mop moistened/damp cloth with warm water will suffice.
b) For a heavier cleaning you can use a low pH (neutral) cleaner.
c) Spills should be cleaned up immediately.

3) DO NOT use the following on your Happy Feet International LVP floor:
a) Soap-based detergents
b) ALL Swiffers (Wet/Dry)
c) Abrasive or mop and shine products
d) Floor wax
e) Ammonia or bleaches
f) Vacuum cleaner with a rotating beater bar
g) Steam mop
h) Always read the cautionary information on all cleaners prior to use

4) IMPORTANT: Never push, pull or drag furniture, appliances or other items across the floor.
a) When moving furniture or heavy items, always lift and carry the items. Place hardboard between the
flooring and object to move.
