MAINTENANCE
Solid Hardwood Floors are very easily maintained. No
wax, no mess. Simply use Mohawk’s FloorCare
Essentials Hardwood & Laminate Floor Cleaner and a
terry cloth flooring mop.
STEP ONE: Sweep your floor to remove any particles
that could scratch your floor. Warning: Vacuums with a
beater bar or power rotary brush head can damage a
wood floor and never should be used.
STEP TWO: Apply the approved Mohawk FloorCare
Essentials Hardwood Floor Cleaner directly to the terry
cloth flooring mop, not
to the floor!
STEP THREE: Use a back and forth motion with the
mop. When the terry cloth cover becomes soiled,
simply replace it with a clean one. Cleaning the floor
with a soiled cover could cause streaking. The covers
are re-usable so simple throw the cover in the wash
and dry it as you would any towel. DO NOT USE
FABRIC SOFTENER when washing terry cloth covers.
Tips & Warnings:
• Sweep regularly, with a soft bristle broom.
• Remove spills promptly and use approved
Mohawk FloorCare Essentials Hardwood &
Laminate Flooring Cleaner and a clean white
cloth.
• Use felt protectors under heavy pieces of
furniture and chairs.
• Use protective mats at all exterior entrances.
Do not use mats or area rug cushions
constructed of rubber or PVC. Instead use
urethane backed products.
• Spiked heels or shoes in need of repair can
severely damage your floor.
• Replace hard plastic, metal casters or wheels
on furniture with soft rubber casters or by
using a protective mat under the casters.
• Never wet or damp mop your wood floors.
Water can cause damage to wood flooring.
• Never use oil soaps, wax, liquid or other
household products to clean your floor.
• The sun’s UV rays can change the color of
your floor.
• Keep animal nails trimmed.
• Protect your floor when using a dolly for
moving furniture or appliances. Never slide or
roll heavy furniture or appliances across the
floor.
• Use protective window coverings to prevent
hardwood flooring from excessive heat during
periods of direct sunlight.
Exterior and interior walk off mats should be used at all
exterior entrances to avoid exposure to moisture from
tracking during period of inclement weather. Walk off
mats should be routinely maintained to avoid becoming
a soil source. Do not use mats or under mat cushions
constructed of rubber of PVC. Instead use urethane
back products.
Hardwoods react to sunlight
Hardwood contains certain types of acids in their
cellular structure. With exposure to sunlight these acids
begin to amber. The color change is referred to as
patina. The wood will reach its own natural warmth and
patina level and stop ambering. The amount of patina is
directly related to the species, amount of acids and the
level of sunlight. The entire floor will reach the same
patina over time. This is often noticed after a rug is
removed and the floor is noticeably different in color
underneath. If you remove the rug and expose the
entire floor to the same amount of light, it will even out
over time and become uniform in color.
Hardwood flooring will scratch and dent
With today’s active lifestyles it is important to note that
hardwood flooring can, and will, scratch and dent. See
Tips & Warnings for protecting your hardwood floor. In
order to prevent excessive abuse the use of
strategically placed mats and area rugs as well as floor
protectors on chair and table legs are a must.
