5. IMPORTANT: Do not use oil soaps, liquid or paste wax products or
other household cleaners that contain lemon oil, tung oil, silicon or
ammonia since these warranties do not cover damage caused by
non-recommended products. Use of these and other such products will harm
the long-term performance of your floor and may also affect its
recoatability.
6. Keep pets’ nails trimmed, and paws clean and free of dirt,
gravel, grease, oil, and stains.
7. Place protective pads beneath furniture legs and feet to reduce
scratches and dents.
8. Use a dolly and protective sheets of plywood when moving heavy
objects, furniture, or appliances.
9. Make certain furniture casters are clean and operate properly (a
minimum 1” width is recommended).
10. Remove shoes with spiked or damaged heels before walking on
floor.
11. 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 to change color. We recommend that you rearrange rugs and
furniture periodically so the floor ages evenly. These warranties do not
cover damage from the sun and its UV rays.
12. Use area rugs in high traffic areas and pivot points (e.g., stair
landings, room entries, etc.), especially if you have a large family or
indoor pets.
