1.
Place doormats at entrances to effectively prevent sand, dirt, and water from being brought in on footwear. Protect the floor by using mats outside and/or inside all entrances. Mats will collect dirt, sand, pebbles, and other solid particles and absorb moisture. Keep mats clean. Do not use mats with latex or rubber backing on SPC flooring, as some compounds in these materials may permanently stain or damage the panel. Mats used on SPC panels should be labeled as “non-staining.”
2.
All furniture and other equipment in contact with the floor should be equipped with protective pads, e.g., felt pads, which should be replaced regularly.
3.
Chairs and other furniture with hard plastic wheels should be used on plastic protective mats. If protective mats are not used, the wheels should be replaced with ones dedicated for hard floors, type W.
4.
The floor exposed to sunlight (UV light) will change its original color.
5.
The floor is factory-finished and ready for use immediately after installation. Floor care should be carried out only with products intended for this purpose. SPC floor care instructions are available at barlinek.com.
- Never use vacuum cleaners with brushes that could damage the floor.
- Immediately remove any water spills.
- Vacuum or sweep the floor to remove any particles that could scratch it.
- You can use a damp cloth with or without the recommended floor care product. Do not leave wet marks on the floor after cleaning.
- Do not use high-pressure or steam cleaners on the floor.
- Trim pet claws to prevent floor damage.
- Do not drag heavy furniture or equipment across the floor.
- Using floor care products other than those recommended by Barlinek may damage the lacquer layer, alter color and gloss, and cause stains.
- Do not use wax-, paraffin-, or silicone-based products.
- For daily care, we recommend dry cleaning (vacuuming, sweeping).
Clean the floor with a mop along the panel direction.
