AFTER THE HARDWOOD FLOOR IS COMPLETED:
- Do not use sheet vinyl or tile
floor care products on wood floors. Self-polishing acrylic waxes
cause wood to become slippery and appear dull quickly.
- Use throw rugs both inside and
outside doorways to help prevent grit, dirt and other debris
from being tracked onto your wood floors. This will prevent
scratching.
- Do not wet-mop a wood floor.
Standing water can dull the finish, damage the wood and leave a
discoloring residue.
- Wipe up spills immediately with a
slightly dampened towel.
- Do not over-wax a wood floor. If
the floor dulls, try buffing instead. Avoid wax buildup under
furniture and other light traffic areas by applying wax in these
spots every other waxing session.
- Put soft plastic or fabric-faced
glides under the legs of furniture to prevent scuffing and
scratching.
- Avoid walking on your wood floors
with cleats, sports shoes and high heels. A 125-pound woman
walking in high heels has an impact of 2,000 pounds per square
inch. An exposed heel nail can exert up to 8,000 pounds per
square inch. This kind of impact can dent any floor surface.
- When moving heavy furniture, do not
slide it on wood flooring. It is best to pick up the furniture
completely to protect the wood flooring.
- For wood flooring in the kitchen,
place an area rug in front of the kitchen sink.
- Use a humidifier throughout the
winter months to minimize gaps or cracks.
What to
Expect During the Curing Process
Wood Floor
Maintenance
Simple steps can
be taken to maintain the beauty and luster of your new Glitsa finished floors.
Use Glitsa's untreated mop with Dust Pad on your floor regularly. This will keep
the sand and grit off of your floor that may cause premature wear. Throw rugs
that are cleaned on a regular basis are recommended in front of your kitchen
sink and at each outside door.
Cleaning
Wipe up food and other spills immediately using a dampened (not soaking wet)
Cleaning Pad on the Glitsa Mop or paper towel. Regular cleaning should be done
with Glitsa Clean which is specially formulated to clean your Glitsa finished
floor. Follow directions on the bottle for correct application. Glitsa Clean is
available through your flooring contractor.
No Waxing
Glitsa finished floors should never be waxed. Do not use oils or waxes, or
cleaners that have these properties, on your Glitsa finish. If wax or other
treatments are applied, recoating may not be possible.
Recoat
As your floor begins to show wear and does not clean easily with Glitsa Clean,
recoating is recommended. Glitsa Aerosol is available for minor repairs or touch
up for the Gold Seal System. Contact your hardwood flooring professional when
recoating becomes necessary.
Know your Floor
Know what products were used to finish and clean your wood floor. Keep track of
the dates (month/year) that the floor was installed, finished, refinished and/or
repaired. Remember the company name of your floor installer and finisher. When
moving, leave the above information in the home for the next homeowner.
Preventive
Maintenance
Preventive
Maintenance may be the most important factor in determining the longevity of
your wood floor finish.
- Place walk off mats in entry ways and near
sink areas to minimize the amount of dirt and water that comes
in contact with your floor.
- Check your chair legs and other pieces of
furniture and attach Safeglides Felt Floor Protectors to all
furniture that will come in contact with your wood floor.
- Keep high heel shoes in good repair. Heels
that have lost their protective cap can cause little
indentations in any floor surface, even concrete!
- Keep pet claws trimmed.
- Do not over-water plants. Soil, fertilizers,
and plant foods may have chemicals in them that could damage
your Glitsa finish.
- Soft rubber (shoe soles, toy wheels, etc.)
will leave marks on the floor. Most of these marks can be rubbed
out, but should be avoided if possible.
Post Application
Tips
A minimum of 24
hours is recommended before returning to the residence. Providing good
ventilation will minimize the odor and help the floor finish cure faster. You
can generally walk on the floor after 24 hours. However, you should use your
floors with care for the first two weeks after application. The more gentle you
are on the floor during this time, the more satisfaction you will get from your
floors for years to come.
Furniture
Allow two to three days before placing furniture on the floor. Do not drag or
slide the furniture into place. Install Safeglides Felt Floor Protectors on
furniture legs before replacing furniture.
Carpets
Allow two to three weeks before putting carpets or rugs on the floor. If covered
prematurely, finishes may discolor.
Cleaning
Do not use water or any cleaning substances on the floor for the first two to
three weeks.
