Furniture Protection
- Ensure furniture legs have large, non-staining floor protectors.
- Replace small metal or dome-shaped glides with smooth, flat glides that have self-adhesive felt pads.
- Check and replace felt pads periodically to prevent scratching.
Entrance Mats
- Place mats at outside entrances to prevent dirt and grit from tracking onto the floor.
Sunlight Protection
- Draw drapes or blinds during peak sunlight periods to prevent discoloration or fading.
Heat Caution
- Keep heat-producing appliances or hot objects (exceeding 120° F) away from the floor.
- Refrigerators, ranges, and hot air registers emitting direct heat can scorch or damage the floor.
Footwear Caution
- Avoid wearing stiletto or spiked heels to prevent indentations or damage.
Regular Cleaning
- Sweep or vacuum regularly using a vacuum, without a beater brush, to prevent floor surface damage.
- Wipe up spills promptly with a damp cloth or mop.
