Other General Tips
- Soak up liquid spills immediately as excessive use of water can cause permanent stains.
- Avoid wax, vinegar and “all-purpose” cleaners, since they dull the floor’s finish.
- Place mats or rugs near doorways and in high trafficked pathways to trap sand and grit.
- Do not move furniture or heavy objects across the floor – carry them or use gliding furniture pads instead.
- Use protective pads or caps on furniture
- Trim your pet’s claws to help avoid scratches on the floor.
- Avoid wearing high heels – they might dent the floor
