Keeping your Karastan floors beautiful.
Carpet Care
Wood Care
Resilient / Vinyl Care
- Sweep the floor regularly with a soft bristle broom to remove loose dirt.
- Wash the floor with non-abrasive, neutral PH floor cleaner approved for vinyl floors. For everyday cleaning, a mop moistened with warm water will suffice.
- Prevent indentations and scratches by using non-staining floor protectors on the legs of chairs, appliances and all heavy furniture. Floor protectors should be at least one inch in diameter.
- Do not flood floor or subject to standing water.
- Protect your floor from tracked-in dirt by using mats at all outside entrances. Mats should have a non-rubberized backing and be marked as non-staining.
- Avoid tracking-in tar or asphalt from driveways.
- Avoid high heel shoes on your floor as they can cause permanent indentations.
- Protect your floors against burns. Burns from cigarettes, matches or other extremely hot items can cause permanent damage.
- Avoid exposure to direct sunlight for prolonged periods, as this can cause discoloration.
- Prevent indentations and scratches with non-staining floor protectors (at least 1” in diameter) on the legs of chairs, appliances, and heavy furniture. Periodically clean protectors to remove embedded grit that may cause scratching.
- Replace plastic or metal chair casters with rubber and keep casters clean.
- Place walk-off mat at entrances. Mats should have a non-rubberized backing and be labeled as non-staining.
- Use a hard surface (non-studded), non-rubber chair mat to protect your floor from office chairs with casters.
- Light, rolling furniture should be outfitted with broad-surface, non-staining casters that have been engineered for hard surface floors. Such casters should be a minimum of 1” (2.5 cm) wide and at least 2” (5.1 cm) in diameter.
- Keep pets’ nails trimmed.
- Remove shoes with cleats, spikes or pointed high heels before walking on the floor.
