Amtico Wear and Care Guide

How to keep your Amtico floor looking great!

Our guide to simple floor care and maintenance will help keep your floor looking good and our range of Floor Care products have been specially formulated for use with Amtico International and most vinyl, rubber and linoleum floors.

With a urethane coating (exceptions apply) our floor products are not only extremely hardwearing, but also easier to clean. However even this tough surface can be scratched and marked by sharp grit and other objects but unlike a natural floor, our products require no regular refurbishing (i.e. sanding) or repair.

All Amtico International floor products carry a warranty against wear-out, for full details please contact us.

Wear & Care Advice

Some simple advice and precautions to help retain your floors great looks

Avoid using aerosol sprays and other silicone based products as overspray can leave a residue and make the floor slippery.
Use fibre entrance matting at all external doorways. This will help reduce the chance of water, excess grit, dirt, small stones and other debris being walked onto the floor. Some rubber backed matting can cause permanent staining. Only use matting recommended by Amtico International (see our Turtle Mats).
Spillages should be wiped up immediately. Residues of oils and greases are potential slip hazards, the affected area should be thoroughly cleaned with Amtico International FloorCare Maintainer, or our ready to use anti-bacterial Amtico International Spillage Remover.
Avoid contact with rubber, asphalt, some paints and shoe polishes, which can potentially stain your floor.
Do not allow cigarettes, matches or other hot items to be deposited on the floor as permanent damage is likely to occur.
Amtico International floors have good scratch resistance properties, however sharp edges on some items of furniture can damage the floor and care should be taken when using vacuum cleaners as they may scratch your floor.
The use of furniture cups, felt pads or glides are essential to help reduce the risk of scratching your floor.
Do not drag heavy items of furniture across the floor as this will result in serious scratch marks. Care should be taken with a brand new floor, when furniture and other appliances are being fitted or placed back into the space.
Castors, furniture cups and other means of load spreading will help reduce the risk of indentation to the floor when used under heavy load bearing furniture and appliances.
We do not advocate the use of other cleaning products, as they may not work as efficiently or effectively and may cause damage to the floor or leave the surface with a slippery residue.

Amtico International Floors are an investment and with simple care it will be a source of pride for many years to come! If you would like further information or advice about Amtico flooring products do not hesitate to contact us online or call 0800 1707121
