Manufacturer's Required Maintenance and Care Procedures
To ensure the full Shamrock Plank Flooring warranty coverage and to extend the beauty of flooring over years of service, the following preventative maintenance procedures for hardwood flooring is required:
- Avoid stiletto style heels or shoes in need of repair. A person weighing 125# and concentrating their weight on a 1/4" spot can exert 2000# of pressure. Narrow or damaged heels will concentrate weight and cause damage to the floor.
- Clean floors often using a broom first followed by a tatic floor cloth mop, a terry cloth type hardwood floor mop or a clean sponge mop. Sand, dirt or any abrasive material must first be swept from the floor. "Beater bars" on vacuum cleaners will cause severe damage to wood floor finishes. Do not use mechanical equipment to clean a hardwood floor.
- Never wet mop a hardwood floor.
To maintain the gloss and the smooth appearance of any hardwood floor, it may be necessary to periodically recoat the floor. The owner of the floors ability to maintain the floor using the above procedures will directly affect the longevity of the original finish.
