Normal Maintenance
- Wash using a soft cloth or ordinary long-handled soft bristle brush. For textured surfaces, use only a soft bristle brush to avoid smearing the stain into the grooves of the texture. Clean gently to avoid surface abrasion. After cleaning, rinse area with water.
- To wash an entire house, start at the bottom and work up to the top, then rinse back down from top to bottom in order to prevent streaking.
- For difficult-to-remove dirt and stains such as top soil, motor oil, lithium grease, crayon, felt-tip pen, caulking, lipstick, grass, bubble gum, mold and mildew, use readily available household cleaners such as those included in the list below.
- Most cleaners are inefficient in cleaning stains such as pencil, paint, oil and tar. In these cases, you may wish to use a mildly abrasive cleaner, such as Soft Scrub,® Ajax,® Bon Ami,® etc., but the use of any abrasive material could have a negative effect on surface appearance.
- Do not use cleaners containing organic solvents or other aggressive ingredients because they could affect the surface appearance of the vinyl. Examples of such cleaners are: chlorine bleach, liquid grease remover, strong soaps and detergents containing organic solvents, nail polish remover, furniture polish/cleaners.
