A well-maintained wood floor will last you decades- here are the steps to follow to ensure you'll get the fullest lifespan out of your hardwood floor.
Hardwood care
You can protect your Mannington Wood Floor
by following these easy guidelines.
Use rugs at workstations and high-traffic
areas (e.g., stair landings, room entries)
to reduce wear, especially if you have
a large family or indoor pets.
Use mats at all exterior doors to keep sand, dirt, grit, grease, and oil outside.
Change vacuum bags and filters regularly
Keep pet's nails trimmed and paws clean and free of dirt, gravel, grease, oil, and stains.
Place protective pads beneath furniture legs and feet to reduce scratches and dents.
Use a dolly and protective sheets of plywood when moving heavy objects, furniture, or appliances.
Make certain furniture casters are clean and operate properly (a minimum 1" width is recommended.)
Remove shoes with spiked or damaged heels before walking on floor.
Exposure to the sun and its UV rays accelerates the oxidation and aging of wood and fabrics. This causes the stain and/or wood to fade and/or change color. We recommend you rearrange rugs and furniture periodically so the floor ages evenly. The Mannington warranty does not cover damage from the sun and UV rays.
Hardwood maintenance
Here are some simple things you can do to keep your Mannington Wood Floor looking like new.
Sweep or vacuum regularly, since built-up grit can damage the finish. The vacuum head must be a soft brush or felt type. Be certain the wheels of the vacuum are clean and do not damage the flooring. Do not use a vacuum with a beater bar head.
Important: Never wet mop or flood your floor with water or other products. This can severely damage the floor.
Remove spills promptly using a soft cloth.
Important: Do not use oil soaps, liquid, or paste wax products or other household cleaners that contain lemon oil, tung oil, or ammonia since the Mannington warranty does not cover damage caused by non-recommended products.
