ScubaSeal™ Warranty
CARE INSTRUCTIONS:
To keep the lasting shine and fresh feel of your investment for as long as possible, we recommend that you:
Do
• Wipe up spills as soon as possible. Never use highly abrasive scrubbing tools on any resilient floor.
• Wash your floor occasionally with an approved Floor Cleaner.
• Use only an approved polish to return your floor’s original shine if it begins to dull overtime.
Don’t
• Use detergents, abrasive cleaners or “mop and shine” products – they may leave a dull film on your floor.
• Use paste wax or solvent-based polishes.
• Use rolling casters as they can damage the floor.
• Use a beater bar when vacuuming because it can visibly damage the floor surface.
• Use highly abrasive scrubbing tools.
Proactive protection for your floor
• When moving appliances or heavy furniture, lay a plywood panel on your floor and “walk” the item across it. This protects your floor from scuffing and tears.
• Use floor protectors on furniture to reduce indentation. As a general rule of thumb, the heavier the item, the wider the floor protector needed.
• Be careful with rolling casters. They can damage the floor. Therefore, we do notrecommend them. If you choose to use them, the double wheel type are the best option.
• Place a walk-off mat at outside entrances to reduce the amount of dirt brought into your home. We do not recommend the use of rubber- or latex-backed mats (except where noted) because the chemical (antioxidant) used to keep the backing from becoming brittle can permanently stain your floor. We suggest a non-staining vinyl-backed mat or a woven rug that is colorfast. Most of these products are identified “colorfast” by the manufacturer.
Immediately after installation
• Maintain a minimum room temperature between 65 and 85 degrees Fahrenheit for 48 hours after installation is completed.
• We recommend that you do not scrub or wash your floor for five days.
