Let your floor’s natural beauty shine through. Shaw’s ScufResist™ hardwood floor finish provides superior resistance to everyday wear and easy, no-wax maintenance. To keep your floor looking like new, follow these simple care steps.

Routine Hardwood Cleaning
Dos

Use a soft cloth to blot spills and spots as soon as they happen. Always avoid allowing liquids to stand on your hardwood floor.
Sweep, dust or vacuum the floor regularly. If vacuuming, use a hard floor attachment to avoid scratching or dulling your floor’s finish
Clean the floor with R2X Hard Surfaces Flooring Cleaner, specially formulated to wipe away dirt and soil without damaging your floor’s finish.

Don’ts

Don't use oil-based, wax, polish or strong ammoniated products, which can dull your floor’s finish.
Don't use steel wool, scouring powders or other abrasive cleaners, which can scratch or damage your floor’s finish.
Don't wash or wet-mop the floor with soap, water, oil-soap detergent, or any other liquid cleaning material. This could cause swelling, warping, delamination and joint-line separation, and void the warranty.
Don't use any type of buffing machine.

Specialty Hardwood Cleaning

Remove sticky substances, such as candle wax or chewing gum, by applying ice to harden the substance and then gently scraping with a plastic scraper. (Tip: A credit card makes a good substitute.) Be careful not to scratch the flooring surface. Wipe clean with a damp cloth.

Protective Hardwood Floor Care

Use entry mats, which will help collect the dirt, sand, grit and other substances such as oil, asphalt or driveway sealer that can be tracked onto your hardwood flooring. To prevent slipping, use an approved vinyl rug underlayment. (Tip: Don’t use rubber- or foam-backed plastic mats, as they may discolor the flooring.)
Use floor protectors and wide-load-bearing leg bases or rollers to minimize indentations and scratches from heavy objects. (Tip: As a rule, the heavier the object, the wider the floor protector should be.)

Preventative Hardwood Floor Care

Maintain a normal indoor relative humidity level between 35% and 55% throughout the year to minimize the natural expansion and contraction of wood. Follow these tips for winter and summer months:
- Heating Season (Dry): A humidifier is recommended to prevent excess shrinkage due to low humidity levels. Wood-stove and electric heat tend to create very dry conditions.
- Non-Heating Season (Wet): An air conditioner, dehumidifier or periodically turning on your heating system can maintain humidity during the summer months. Avoid excessive exposure to water during periods of inclement weather.

Use care with sharp objects.
Remove shoes with spiked or damaged heels before walking on your hardwood floor; they can leave scratches or indentations in hardwood.
Trim pets’ nails regularly.
Rearrange your rugs and furniture periodically to allow the flooring to age evenly.
Avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight, which can soften the tone of different species of hardwood to varying degrees and accelerate the oxidation and aging of wood.
Protect the floor when moving by using a dolly for heavy furniture or appliances. Never try to slide or roll heavy objects across your hardwood floor.

Follow a simple maintenance plan
The type and frequency of foot traffic on your Shaw resilient floor will determine the frequency of maintenance needed. Regular attention to a simple maintenance program should include:

Remove dirt and grit by sweeping or dust mopping daily.
Wipe up spills as quickly as possible.
Use protective pads for furniture and appliances to prevent scratching.
Avoid exposure to direct sunlight for prolonged periods.

Use protective mats
It is essential to use a good quality entry mat to trap dirt, sand, grit, and other substances such as oil that would otherwise be tracked onto your floor. These mats will also help protect your resilient flooring from premature wear. Rugs are also suggested at heavy pivot locations, such as in front of your kitchen sink or stove. If carpets are placed directly on the resilient floors, use mats without latex or rubber backings to avoid possible discoloration.

Care for Stains, Spills, Scuffs, and other Substances
There will be times when it is necessary to use more aggressive cleaning methods on your resilient-vinyl floor. Substances such as acids, blood, dyes, paints, solvents, and other contaminants will require special treatment.
