Questions and Answers for Home Decorators Collection Natural Worn Oak 8 mm Thick x 6-1/8 in. Wide x 54-11/32 in. Length Laminate Flooring (23.17 sq. ft. / case)
A: Thank you for your interest in the Home Decorators Collection laminate flooring. This laminate is not waterproof. Here are the Maintenance and Care instructions, including recommendations concerning water.
1. Sweep or dust mop regularly. If vacuuming, use vacuum head with a brush or felt, not a head equipped with a beater.
2. Do not leave any amount of liquids (water, juice, soft drinks, spills, etc.) on the floor. Clean any wet spots immediately.
3. Avoid excessive exposure to water from tracking during periods of inclement weather.
4. Never use a wet mop or douse floor with water or liquid cleaners. Liquid can seep between the cracks and cause moisture damage.
5. Never use a steam cleaner.
6. Do not use any cleaning agents containing wax, oil or polish. Left over residue will form a dull film. For tough spots, use damp cloth or apply a little alcohol or nail polish remover on the clean cloth, rub till spot is removed.
7. Do not use steel wool or scouring powder which will scratch the floor.
8. Minimize abrasive and dirt by placing mats on both sides of exterior doors. Area rugs in high traffic areas are also a good idea.
9. Place protective pads beneath furniture legs and other heavy objects. Keep furniture casters clean.
10. Keep pets’ nails trimmed.
11. Remove shoes with cleats, spikes or exceptionally pointy heels before walking on the floor.
12. Take great care when moving furniture and heavy objects. Lay down a protective sheet or plywood.
13. Do not obstruct in any way the expansion joint around the perimeter of your floor.
