PEGO PERGO Portfolio
Pergo® Portfolio® + WetProtect® floors, like other fine furnishings in your home, require proper care to keep them looking their best. When you follow our easy cleaning and maintenance instructions, you’ll find taking care of your Pergo Portfolio + WetProtect floor a snap!
Regular Maintenance
The surface layer of Pergo Portfolio + WetProtect flooring is hard and
compact, so dirt and dust do not adhere to it easily. The following simple
steps are usually all it takes to keep your floor clean.
For general cleaning, use a dust mop or vacuum with the correct hard surface
attachment of your vacuum cleaner.
For heavier cleaning, occasionally wet mop with water only, using a well wrung
out mop.
DO NOT pour liquid directly on floor or use an excessively wet mop that
will puddle or leave moisture standing on the floor. Occasional wet mopping is
permitted for Pergo Portfolio + WetProtect only.
If needed, use a solution of 1 cup of vinegar per gallon of water OR 1/3 cup
non-sudsing ammonia per gallon of water.
DO NOT use detergents, abrasive cleaners, soaps, waxes or polishes. There
is never a need to wax or refinish your Pergo Portfolio + WetProtect floor.
DO NOT use rotating beater bars, floor scrubbers, steamers, jet mops,
buffers or similar products.
Protect the Floor
While Pergo Portfolio + WetProtect is remarkably durable, there is of course
no such thing as an indestructible flooring material. There are a few simple
protective measures that are important to keep your floor looking new. To
protect your Pergo Portfolio + WetProtect floor from surface scratches, place
walk-off area rugs or mats inside any exterior doorway to collect small bits
of gravel that may track in on shoes. Use felt floor protectors on the legs of
chairs, sofas, TV stands, tables and other easily movable furniture. Replace
plastic or metal casters on chairs with rubber wheels and lift rather than
slide heavy objects across the floor.
Minor damage to a Pergo Portfolio + WetProtect plank can be easily repaired with color matched finishing putty, such as Pergo Floor Restore™. If the damaged area is larger than 1/4 of an inch, we recommend contacting a professional to replace an entire plank.
Spot Removal
Pergo Portfolio + WetProtect stain resistance means peace of mind for you and
easy clean up. So, when the inevitable happens, use the following guide for
stain and spot removal:
For chocolate, grease, juice, cordials and wine — use lukewarm water and a
non-abrasive cleaner (such as, ammonia and water). For tar, markers, crayon,
lipstick, oil, shoe polish, ink, nail polish and cigarette burns — use
acetone/nail polish remover or denatured alcohol.
Note: Do not use acetone on wallbase or quarter round. For candle wax and
chewing gum — let harden and scrape carefully with a blunt plastic
scraper.
