CLEANING:

 

* All American Hardwood Flooring recommends Bona Hardwood Floor Cleaner—which can be found at most grocery stores & Lowe’s.

* Do NOT use detergent, wax, oil, Orange Glow, Murphy Oil, Soap, Endust, Formula 409,
Mop n Glo, or other polishes. These products can dull the finish. It can also leave a film
that can impair bonding of future recoats.

* Vacuum using a brush attachment or Dust Mop regularly.

* NEVER Damp Mop a wood floor and Do NOT allow water to stand on your floors for any
length of time.

* Remove Wet Spills promptly using a soft cotton cloth.

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE

* Regularly trim your pet’s claws.

* Use mats or throw rugs at entrances and heavy traffic areas.

* Use furniture leg protector pads under all furniture legs. Do NOT allow heavy furniture to rest on small metal tips or hard plastic domes.

* Avoid wearing cleats & keep high heels in good repair. Heels that have worn down or lost
protective caps, exposing the steel support rod in the heel can dent your floor surface.

* Keep the relative humidity in your home between 45% and 55%. Protect your floor from
direct sunlight over long periods of time.

* Have your floor buffed & recoated every 2 to 4 years in high traffic areas and 3 to 6 years in
areas of lower traffic.

* Allow 72 hours before allowing pets & placing furniture on hardwood.

* Area rugs may be placed on hardwood flooring after 1 to 2 weeks. The floor needs to breathe in order to cure.

or appliances on flooring.
