General Cleaning and Maintenance Guide

Congratulations on choosing Floating Floors Timber Collection. These timbers are hard wearing, beautiful looking floors, however they are not indestructible. The following points will assist you in maintaining the look and performance of your floor:

• Timber Floors require a constant humidity of 40%-65%. This will assist in preventing checking (fine surface cracks) 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 heavy items 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.
• If refinishing is required, use Bona Timber Refresh, available at your place of purchase. Follow the instructions on the packaging carefully to restore your floor.

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. Remember, timber is a natural product and marks, dents and scratches may occur through normal use.
