Care and Maintenance
Vacuum, sweep or dust mop your floor once a week, or more if needed. The vacuum head must be brush or felt, and a wand attachment is preferable. Do not use vacuums with beater bars or hard heads.
Spills and tracked-in dirt should be wiped up immediately.
Periodically clean your floor with the appropriate product. For a lacquered floor, use a No Wax Cleaner. For a brushed & UV oiled floor, use the recommended maintenance product.
Use interior and exterior doormats at all entrances to collect dirt and moisture and prevent it from being tracked onto the floor.
Never clean or wet mop with water. Water may permanently damage the floor.
Never use any of the following products (or products similar in nature) on your floor: ammonia-based cleaners, acrylic finishes, wax-based products, detergents, bleach, polishes, oil soap, abrasive cleaning soaps, or acidic materials such as vinegar.
All Tuscan floors are manufactured from natural products and can be damaged by high heels, pets and inadequate maintenance. Keep animal nails trimmed to minimise scratches to the surface.
Use furniture leg protector pads under all furniture and make certain to keep them clean and well maintained.
Keep the relative humidity in your home between 35% and 55%. If water is spilled onto the floor, wipe up immediately as water may permanently damage the floor.
Direct sunlight can alter the appearance of your floor.
Always refer to the Tuscan recommended maintenance procedures which can be downloaded from this site
