Maintaining a Cork Floor

Keep your floor clean. Sweep or vacuum regularly to remove grit, sand, stones etc.. These abrasive materials will damage both the finish and the cork tile. Clean up spills immediately as once they have set, spills become harder to clean up. Solida Cork floors should be cleaned with a waterbase urethane cleaner such as the specially formulated cleaner Solida Cork Cleaner, available from your dealer. Never use pretreated dusters or wet-jet type dusters or cleaners as these will damage the urethane finish. Observe the finish for signs of wear.To prevent damage to the cork tile, the finish must be recoated at the first signs of wear.
Use mats at entrance ways and in high traffic areas such as sinks and stoves. Do not use vinyl or rubber back mats which discolour floors. Install proper protectors on chair leg and table legs as well as heavy furniture. Use chair pads behind desks. A well maintained cork floor can last a lifetime!
