Everyday Care

chevron-down
  • Place mats inside any exterior doorway over your Pergo floor to collect sand, gravel, or dirt tracked in the home. You can also place area rugs in other spaces for extra coverage.
  • Make sure your rugs have a solid backing, so soil doesn't sift through the rug to come in contact with the floor.
  • Use floor protectors or felt covers on chair legs, sofas, TV stands, tables and other easily moveable furniture so you don't scratch the floors.
  • Replace plastic casters on chairs with rubber wheels.
  • Lift, don't slide, heavy objects across floors.

Stain Removal & Repair

chevron-down
  • CANDLE WAX OR CHEWING GUM
    Remove candle wax or chewing gum with a blunt plastic scraper after the material has hardened.
  • GLUE
    To remove glue, use an appropriate glue remover. After use, be sure to clean with standard cleaning products.
  • TOUGH STAINS
    To remove tough stains like tar, markers, crayon, lipstick, oil, shoe polish, nail polish or cigarette burns, use Isopropyl Alcohol or Mineral Spirits on a clean cloth. Note: Do not use on coordinating wall base or quarter round.
  • CLEAN THE FLOOR ROUTINELY
    Clean the floor routinely to remove dirt and dust by sweeping, vacuuming or damp wiping. For a deeper cleaning, use a damp cotton cloth or cloth mop. Always remove grit, sharp objects, staining agents, moisture or aggressive substances from the floor. Use a vacuum or vacuum attachment with soft bristle brush regularly to remove any particles that could scratch the floor.
  • PLEASE NOTE: Never use aggressive cleaning agents, soap or abrasive cleaners or cleaners containing oil or waxes.
