3M Company Flooring manual Caring for Your Floor

When moving appliances or heavy furniture, it is always wise to lay a plywood panel on your floor and "walk" the item across it. This protects your floor from scuffing and tears.

Use floor protectors, such as Armstrong Floor Protectors, on furniture to reduce indentation. As a general rule of thumb, the heavier the item, the wider the floor protector needed.

Place a walk-off mat at outside entrances to reduce the amount of dirt brought into your home. We strongly recommend mats without a latex or rubber backing since these backings can cause permanent discoloration.

All Armstrong floor care products have been specifically developed to care for Armstrong floors. You may purchase Armstrong floor care products at your local flooring retailer.

Caring for Your Floor

Sweep or vacuum regularly to remove loose dirt which can scratch your floor. NOTE: We do not recommend vacuums that have a beater bar since it can visibly damage your flooring surface. Additionally, we do not recommend electric brooms with hard plastic bottoms with no padding as use may result in discoloration and deglossing.

Wipe up spills as soon as possible. Remove dried spills with Armstrong New Beginning Deep Cleaning Floor Stripper on a clean white cloth and rinse. Never use highly abrasive scrubbing tools on any resilient floor.

Wash your floor regularly with Armstrong Once 'n Done Resilient & Ceramic Floor Cleaner.

For heavy duty cleaning, use Armstrong New Beginning Deep Cleaning Floor Stripper.

Do NOT use detergents, abrasive cleaners, or "mop and shine" products. These products may leave a dull film on your floor.

Over time, if the shine on your floor begins to dull, Armstrong Satinkeeper Resilient Low Gloss Floor Finish can be used to renew your floor's shine. Do NOT use paste wax or solvent-based polishes.

Vinyl flooring, like other types of smooth floors, can become slippery when wet. Allow time for floor to dry after washing. Immediately wipe up wet areas from spills, foreign substances, or wet feet.
