AFTER INSTALLATION
• Flooring should be one of the last items installed in a project. In order to protect the floors while other trades are finishing their work prior to final cleanup and turnover to the owner, use rosin paper and only use 3M Scotch-Blue™ 2080 tape to hold the rosin paper to the floor(other blue tapes may damage the finish). Clean the floor thoroughly before laying the rosin pager to ensure that no debris is trapped underneath. DO NOT USE plastic film or other non-breathing coverings as this can cause the floor to become damaged from humidity buildups.
• Dust mop or vacuum your floor to remove any dirt or debris
• It is suggested that you clean the floor using a recommended ph neutral cleaner.
• Install any transition pieces that may be needed (reducers, T-moldings, etc.)

• Furniture should be moved onto the newly installed floor using an appliance hand truck over hardboard runways.
• Avoid exposure to long periods of direct. Close blinds or drapes during peak sunlight hours. Floor covering subjected to excessive heat and light is subject to thermal degration. Use appriate precautions to minimize potential affects on the floor covering
• Oil or petroleum-based products can result in surface staining. Do nottrack asphalt-dreveway sealer or automobole-oil drips onto the vinyl floor covering.
• Use non-staining mats. Rubber may disclor the floor.
• Frequently moved furniture should be equipped with felt pads to avoid scratching the floor. Heavy furniture and appliances should be equipped with non-staining large surface floor protectors. Furniture with castors or wheels must be easy swiveling, large surface non-staining and suitable for resilient floors. Do NOT use ball type castors as they can damage the floor.
• Use floor protectors under furniture.
• Use walk off mats at entrances to prevent dirt and gril from being tracked on to the floor.
• Sweep or vacuum the floor regularly to remove loose dirt. Do NOT use vacuums that use a beater bar or turn beater bar off.
• Do NOT use electric brooms with hard plastic bottoms with no padding.
• Clean up spills immediately.
• Damp mop as needed using clean water and a diluted floor cleaner. DO NOT use harsh cleaners or chemicals on the floor. Do NOT use abrasive scrubbing tools. Do NOT use detergents, abrasive cleaners or “mop and shine” products.
Vinyl flooring, like other types of smooth floors, may become slippery when wet. Allow time for floor to dry after cleaning. lmmediately wipe up wet areas from spills, foreign substances or wet feet.
