DAILY MAINTENANCE

Regularly sweep, dust, damp mop, or vacuum (without beater bar) your ﬂoor to remove any particles that could cause abrasions or scratches to appear on your ﬂoor.
Use a damp mop or steam mop to remove spots and soil. Use any pH neutral ﬂoor cleaner.
The following products are approved for use with Lifeproof™ vinyl ﬂooring: Lifeproof™ Hard Surface Floor Cleaner, Lifeproof™ Resilient Floor Low Gloss Polish, Lifeproof™ Hard Surface Polish Remover. Lifeproof™ Microﬁber Spray Mop with 2-Spray modes. For lightly soiled areas, clean with distilled water.
When the cleaning cloth/mop becomes soiled, rinse or replace it with a clean one. Following up with a clean, dry cloth will remove residual streak-marks and spots.
Avoid spills of acidic products (juice, soft drinks, wine, etc.) on the ﬂoor. Clean spots immediately.
Promptly remove any standing water, pet urine or other liquids.
Avoid spills of paints, dyes, or harsh chemicals.
DO NOT vacuum with a beater bar or power rotary brush head.
DO NOT use any cleaning agents containing wax or oil. Leftover residue will form a dull ﬁlm.
DO NOT use steel wool or scouring pad, as they will scratch the ﬂoor.
DO NOT use any dust cleaners, as they may cause your ﬂoor to become slick or damage the ﬁnish.
DO NOT use vinegar.
DO NOT use any All-Purpose or Multi-Purpose cleaners.
DO NOT use wet sweeper pads. Dry sweeper pads can be used

FLOOR REPAIR

Use a melamine pad to remove scuffs.
Deep scratches may require the replacement of planks. A plank replacement video is available on YouTube.

PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE

Protect your ﬂoor when using a dolly to move furniture or appliances. Protective sheets and/or plywood may be needed. Never slide or roll heavy furniture or appliances across the ﬂoor.
Use ﬂat ﬂoor protectors (nylon or felt) on all furniture legs. Periodically clean protectors to remove grit that may become embedded and cause scratching.
Minimize abrasive material and dirt by placing mats on both sides of exterior doors and by using area rugs in high-trafﬁc areas.
Use protective mats beneath rolling chairs and keep furniture casters clean.
Use NON-RUBBER backed mats that are labeled “colorfast” by the manufacturer. Non-staining, vinyl-backed mats or woven rugs should be used at all entrances to avoid discoloration from asphalt driveways and to prevent dirt and grit from being tracked onto your ﬂoor. Rubber and latex-backed mats use a chemical (antioxidant) to
keep the backing from becoming brittle; it is this chemical that can permanently stain your ﬂoor.
Light, rolling furniture should be outﬁtted with broad-surface, nonstaining casters that have been engineered for hard surface ﬂoors. Such casters should be a minimum of 1″ (2.5cm) wide and at least 2″ (5.1cm) in diameter. We recommend the use of a hard surface (non-studded), non-rubber chair mat to protect your ﬂoor from ofﬁce chairs with casters
Keep pets’ nails trimmed.
Remove shoes with cleats, spikes or exceptionally pointy heels before walking on the ﬂoor.
