Congratulations on
choosing Witex Laminate. Witex Laminate is a very hard wearing,
beautiful looking floor, however it is not indestructible. The
following points will assist you in maintaining the look and
performance of your floor:
Laminate Floors require a
constant humidity of 50%-60%. This will prevent the floor from
excessive expansion and contraction and is ultimately better for your
health.
Provide mats to all
doorways leading from outside. This will significantly reduce the
amount of walked in dirt on your floor. Small stones and dirt that gets
caught in shoes can permanently scratch your floor.
Sweep
or vacuum your floor regularly, higher traffic areas more often. This
will reduce the chances of scratching your floor.
Never
drag any heavy item across the floor. Lift or use a trolley.
Install
felt tips to all items of furniture that are moved, no matter how
infrequently eg. Chairs, stools, tables etc. This will prevent these
items from scratching the floor.
Clean up any spills immediately.
Prolonged exposure to liquid spills can damage the floor.
Waterless cleaning is
recommended. You can achieve this by purchasing a Bona Cleaning kit
from your place of purchase. This is a quick and effective way of
maintaining your floor without the risk of water damage.
When
water mopping is required, use only a well wrung out fringe or sponge
mop. Never flood the floor with water, as this will damage your floor.
If water marking is an issue, wipe the floor over with a towel
after mopping to remove water traces.
Never apply polish or wax to a
laminate floor. Polishes and waxes will not adhere to the surface and
can make the floor extremely slippery.
These simple
steps will help you to look after your beautiful new floor for many
years to come, however if you have any further concerns, or if you
require extra information, please do not hesitate to contact your place
of purchase.
