How to care for your Polyurethane Floor 

1. KEEP IT CLEAN: DUST, MOP, OR VACUUM AS OFTEN AS POSSIBLE.
2. NEVER DRAG ANYTHING ACROSS THE FLOOR; IT WILL SCRATCH.
3. PUT FELT ON THE LEGS OF ANY FURNITURE THAT MAY SLIDE (I.E. - DINING ROOM CHAIRS).
4. USE A DAMP MOP ONLY WHEN NECESSARY.  USE POLYCARE OR BONA X; YOU CAN USUALLY PURCHASE THEM FROM YOUR LOCAL HARDWARE STORE. BEWARE OF CLEANERS AND SOAPS THAT CONTAIN CONTAIN OIL OR WAX THAT WILL PREVENT ADHESION OF ADDITIONAL POLYURETHANE COATS. TRY NOT TO MOP MORE THAN ONCE A MONTH
5. PERIODIC RECOATING IS ALWAYS THE BEST WAY TO MAINTAIN A "NEW" LOOK. WE SUGGEST EVERY FIVE TO TEN YEARS, DEPENDING ON TRAFFIC AND WEAR. YOU MUST GET TO IT BEFORE THE FINISH IS COMPLETELY WORN OFF IN HIGH TRAFFIC AREAS.
6. TO KEEP UNWANTED PEBBLES FROM MARRING THE FINISH, CHANGE AND CLEAN THROW RUGS IN FRONT OF DOORS OFTEN.
7. TRY NOT TO ALLOW HIGH HEELS ON WOOD FLOORS.  THEY WILL DENT NOT ONLY THE FINISH, BUT THE WOOD ITSELF AS WELL.
8. SMALL SPILLS SHOULD BE CLEANED USING PAPER TOWEL OR SOFT CLOTH.  FOR STICKY LIQUIDS, USE A WATER-DAMPENED CLOTH FOLLOWED BY A DRY ONE.
9. SOME TOUGH SPOTS MAY REQUIRE A SMALL AMOUNT OF HAND CLEANER TO COME COME OUT.
