GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Although KONECTO floors are durable, all floor coverings require some care to look their best and
many problems can be prevented before they occur. The type and frequency of traffic on your floor
will determine the frequency of maintenance needed. The type of floor and even the color will also
have some bearing on how much care may be necessary. For example, solid color floors will
visually show scuffs, scratches, dirt and general wear to a greater degree than multi-colors of chips
or patterns. Of course, white or light colors will visually show staining to a greater degree than
darker colors. For this reason, solid color and white floors should receive special attention in regard
to preventative maintenance and amount of care provided. Good judgment when choosing the type
and style of floor will help prevent maintenance problems before the floor is even installed!
Here are the proper steps for maintaining your KONECTO floor:
1. In order to prevent indentations and scratches, provide glass, plastic or other non-staining
cups with flat under surfaces not less than 2” in width for the legs of heavy furniture or
appliance. Equip swiveled-type office chairs and other rolling furniture with broad surface
non-staining casters at least 2” in diameter. Remove small diameter buttons from the legs
of straight chairs and replace with metal glides that have bearing surfaces no less than 1” in
diameter.
2. Protect your floor against burns. Burns from the glowing end of a cigarette, matches, or
other extremely hot items can damage KONECTO floors.
3. Do not flood floor or subject to frequent standing water. Problems associated with
excessive moisture can affect the job site and should be addressed. KONECTO plank
should not be used as a Moisture Reduction System.
4. Protect your floor from tracked-in-dirt and grit particles by using walk off mats at all outside
entrances. Take time to remove any imbedded grit particles from shoe soles before
entering the room. Avoid the use of rubber-backed mats, as certain rubber compounds can
permanently stain vinyl. Avoid tracking in tar or asphalt from driveways, as this can also
discolor vinyl. Do not use vinegar, one-step cleaner/polishes or oil soaps on KONECTO
products.
5. All KONECTO floors have a good resistance to stains. They are not affected by most
common household spills: however, any spill should be cleaned up immediately. The longer
the spilled materials are left on the floor, the greater the risk of permanently staining the
floor. For information regarding the proper method or solution to use on a specific stain,
contact KONECTO’s Technical Department or check troubleshooting guide.
7. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight for prolonged periods. During peak sunlight hours, the use
of the drapes or blinds is recommended. Prolonged direct sunlight can result in
discoloration, and excessive temperatures might cause tile expansion.
8. Do not use vinegar as a cleaning agent on KONECTO vinyl Products.
