Keep traffic light during the first 24 hours so adhesive can dry properly.
	If the floor has been seamed, avoid stepping on the seam sealer for 24 hours so it can dry undisturbed.
	Avoid scrubbing or washing the floor for at least three days after installation. Spot clean the floor, avoiding all seams. Clean any adhesive residue with a clean white cloth dampened with mineral spirits*.

	Use door mats outside each entrance to your home to prevent dirt, sand, grit, and other substances such as oil, asphalt and driveway sealer from being tracked onto your floor. Use non-staining mats on your floor. Do not put rubber-backed, latex- backed, or cocofiber mats on your floor because they will stain or damage the surface.
	To minimize potential staining from asphalt tracking, we suggest you use a latex-based driveway sealer
	Close your curtains or blinds where extreme sun light hits the floor. A combination of heat and sunlight causes most home furnishings, including vinyl floors, to fade or discolor.
	Support furniture with wide-bearing, non-staining floor protectors. Ideally, the protectors should be at least one inch in diameter, made of non- pigmented, hard plastic, and rest flat on the floor. Non-staining felt protectors are also acceptable. Casters with a minimum 3/4 inch flat surface width or floor protectors are recommended for all move- able furniture. Make sure any metal protectors are rustproof. Replace your narrow dome furniture rests with wide-bearing ones.
	If you need to move heavy furniture and/or appliances, such as your refrigerator across the floor, always use strips of wood or hardboard runways to protect the floor. Always use runways even if you have an appliance dolly, or even if the heavy objects are equipped with wheels or rollers.

	sweep your floor regularly (at least once per week).
	Prevent stains by wiping up spills promptly.
	Occasional mopping with Mannington Award Series Cleaner (available from your dealer) is recommend ed when dirt builds up and sweeping alone is not sufficient. Use a solution of 2 to 3 capfuls of Award Series Cleaner (or clear, non-sudsy ammonia) in one gallon of warm water. Use of more than the recommended amount of cleaning solution may leave a dulling film. Do not use soap or detergent products as they will leave a dulling film. Rinsing is not required when using Mannington Award Series Cleaner, but if time permits, rinsing will provide the best care and highest shine.
	All high-gloss floors will lose shine over time. To restore gloss, apply Mannington Award Series Polish. Do not use wax. Do not buff. Be sure to thoroughly clean, rinse, and allow the floor to dry completely prior to applying polish.
	Mannington Naturals and Ceramica are low- gloss floors. Use polish or "mop and shine" products only if you wish to make the floor shiny.
	Mannington Impressions Collection is a low- gloss floor. Use polish or "mop and shine" products only if you wish to make the floor shiny.
	Mannington Aurora is a low- gloss floor. Use polish or "mop and shine" products only if you wish to make the floor shiny.

After several applications of polish, an occasional stripping and reapplication of polish may be necessary This may also be necessary for excessive dirt and grime build-up. We recommend the use of Mannington Award Series Heavy Duty Cleaner and Stripper. After thorough cleaning, rinsing, and dry-mopping, apply Mannington Award Series Polish to restore the shine. High traffic areas may require more than one application of polish. Allow polish to dry 'tack-free' between coats. For complete instructions regarding the proper use of Mannington floor care products, refer to the package labels. CAUTION: Vinyl floors can be slippery when they become wet. Use extreme caution when walking on a wet floor.

	Start with first step listed, then only do steps necessary to resolve the problem.
	Always use a clean white cloth for wiping up stains and turn it frequently to avoid spreading the stain.
	Rinse with clean water and allow area to dry between steps.
	If stain removal causes a change in gloss level, apply polish per guidelines above.
