62 FAQs LAMINATED FLOORING 1) Can I install the flooring in my bathroom or another room that constantly gets wet? Ans- Laminated flooring cannot be installed in bathrooms or any room like it because the water will make the planks swell. 2) Can I install laminated flooring in my kitchen?

Occasional splashes of water must be wiped off immediately. 3) How do I clean my laminated flooring? Ans- Laminated flooring is easy to clean. For detailed instruction, see our maintenance section for general and specific cleaning. 4) Do I follow a specific direction while installing laminated flooring in a room? Ans- Installing the planks in the same direction as the main light source in the room is the best way to put laminated flooring. 5) Can I use laminated flooring in combination with under-floor heating? Ans- Laminated flooring can easily be used in combination with water floor heating on condition that the warm water tubes are min 3 cm underneath the surface and the water in the tubes doesn t exceed 28 C. Please follow the guidance of your under-floor heating installer. We recommend avoiding high temperature variations (plus and minus) when switching on/off the under-floor heating. 6) Can I put laminated floor on the stairs?

Ans- Laminate floor should only be cleaned by using a slightly damp but well wrung out cloth. It is not advised to use any liquid cleaner, detergents etc. 13) Can the installed laminated flooring be dismantled & re-installed at the same place or another? Ans- Yes, the existing laminate flooring can be dismantled and re-installed, provided the dismantling has to be done insuring that the locks are not damaged. 14) Can we replace a single plank or more, caused by an accidental breakage? Ans- Yes, we can replace single or more planks caused due to accidental breakage by dismantling from any of one side to the point of damage, provided the same shade material is available with the company or with you.

63 63 MAINTENANCE If proper precaution taken the floor would look at its best for many years to come. Cleaning laminate flooring is simple- dirt and dust are easily removed with a vacuum or broom Wipe up spills like tea, coffee immediately. Don t allow water to stand on your floor for any length of time. For heavier cleaning, use Ego laminate floor cleaner or a mixture of household vinegar and water (1-cup vinegar to 1-gallon warm water) or household ammonia and water (1/2 cup ammonia to 1-gallon warm water). If an accident occurs and a stain remains, you can remove the worst stains with acetone or denatured alcohol on a soft cloth without bleaching or damaging the floor. In a pinch, nail polish remover containing acetone is a handy substitute. Do not use soap or detergentbased cleaners, wax-based products or any type of polish on laminate floors, as they leave a dull, filmy residue. There is never a need to wax or refinish your laminate floor. For more difficult-to-remove soil, use a cloth moistened very lightly with plain water. Then wipe the surface with a clean dry cloth. Don t use any of the following products on your floor: ammonia based cleaners, acrylic finishes, wax based products, detergents, bleach, polishes and oil soaps, or abrasive cleaning soaps. Protect the laminate flooring in high traffic areas and from excessive tracking of outside dirt and soil with mats at all entrances. Use door mats and throw rugs outside room entrances and in front of kitchen sink and refrigerator to help keep dirt and grit off your floor, and to prevent damage and excessive wear. Protective felt pads on chair and furniture legs are recommended to further protect the floor. Replace plastic casters on chairs with rubber wheels and lift rather than slide heavy objects across the floor. Occasionally, things may become stuck to your floor, such as gum or candle wax. This situation is best handled by letting the spot harden completely, then scraping it gently off the floor with a plastic scraper. Residue can then be removed using a clean rag damped with a little Ego Laminate flooring cleaner. Place runners and area rugs along high traffic areas. Move heavy appliances and furniture by cusing a dolly rolled over plywood or pressed board. Minor damage to a laminate plank or tile can be easily repaired with laminate finishing putty. If the damaged area is larger than 1/4 of an inch, replacing the plank may be recommended. Please call our team to assess the damage.
