1. MAINTENANCE

• Install protector pads on the bottom of all furniture.

• Place rugs at all points of entrance to capture abrasives and moisture. Shake out rugs regularly.

• Use protective mats below rolling chairs and heavy furniture.

• Use non-marring wheels and casters meant for hard surfaces

• Use colorfast mats that are non-rubber. Check mat manufacturer guidelines to ensure they will be non-marring and will not leave a residue on your new floor.

• Vacuum with a brush attachment or sweep and/or dust mop regularly to remove abrasives and dirt. • Do not use household dust treatments to clean the floor as they will contaminate the finish making it harder to refinish the floor later.

• Keep high heels and other shoe bottoms in good repair as they can damage the floor. Cleats and other point shoes should not be worn on the floor.

• Keep animal nails trimmed to prevent scratching.

• Wipe up spills immediately with a dampened cloth and follow up with an approved cleaner.
