Congratulations on the purchase of your National Tiles Hybrid Flooring. To keep your new floor looking great for years to come, follow these simple care and maintenance guidelines.
Do’s
• Sweep or vacuum daily using soft bristle attachments.
• Clean up spills and excessive liquids immediately.
• Damp mop as needed and use cleaners recommended for hybrid flooring.
• The use of residential steam mops on this product is allowed. Use at lowest power with a suitable soft pad, and do not hold a steam mop on one spot for an extended period of time (longer than 5 minutes). Refer to the steam mop’s manufacturer instructions for proper usage.
• Use proper floor protection devices such as felt protectors under furniture.
• Place a walk-off mat at outside entrances to reduce the amount of dirt brought into your home.
• Protect floors from extreme changes in temperature. The ideal environment for a hybrid floor is between 18ºC and 25ºC and between 30%-70% relative humidity
• Protect from prolonged direct sunlight using external awnings/internal blind systems or window tinting.
Don’ts
• Do not use mats with a latex or rubber backing since these backings can cause permanent discoloration.
• Never use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, steel wool or scouring powder on your hybrid flooring as they will scratch and dull the finish.
• Never use soap based detergents which can leave a dull finish on the floor.
• Never slide or drag furniture items across the floor.
• Avoid placing heavy objects on floating floors as they can inhibit the natural movement of the floor and cause damage.
• Avoid wearing spiked heels or sports shoes that may dent and scratch the floor.
• Never wax, polish, sand or lacquer your hybrid floor.
