Care & Maintenance

A simple sweep, dust mop or light vacuum is typically all that is needed. Always avoid excessive moisture when cleaning to ensure your Fuzion engineered hardwood floor continues to look and perform its best. We highly recommend using manufacturer-recommended cleaners such as Fuzclean Wood floor cleaner. When in doubt, speaking with a Fuzion flooring retailer is always wise for clarification.

Excessive moisture can lead to a wide variety of unwanted changes in your floor such as cupping, gapping or even cracking. It is highly recommended that you do not use water when cleaning your floors and follow the manufacturer-recommended methods (in this case, it’s us!). Should a spill occur, it is wise to soak it up immediately to avoid any structural damage.

It is wise to perform a regular cleaning routine, install floor protectors on the bottom of furniture (eg: chair legs) as well as placing throw rugs or carpet runners in high traffic areas throughout your home. DO NOT drag or pull furniture and other heavy items across your floor.

Although our products are all UV cured, light colours will show more discolouration than dark stained floors. It is important to understand that specific species such as; American Cherry, Brazilian Cherry and other Exotics will be affected more noticeably than others. Any covered areas should be moved periodically in order to assist in blocking the sun light from shining directly on the floor. Never expose your floor to direct sunlight as this may adversely damage and /or bleach your floor. Finally, always use proper window light filtering window coverings.

When the furnace or other heating systems are off (usually later spring/summer and early fall) we strongly recommend the use of a dehumidifier. Not protecting your floor from excessive humidity could result in expansion and thereby cause damage to your floor. When the furnace or other heating systems are on (usually in late fall, winter and early spring) we strongly recommend the use of a humidifier system. It will not only protect your health, a humidifier system will also provide moisture in the air to help the possible problem of shrinking (cracks between the boards or other damage to your floor).

Although luxury vinyl is quite scratch resistant, always keep your surface free of any debris, small stones or other undesirables that can get dragged across your floor.

Do not use steel wool, abrasive cleaners, steam cleaners or any type of buffing or polishing machine. Oil or petroleum-based products can result in surface staining.

Cleaning is paramount to the life and appearance of your carpet tile investment whether you are in a home, office or commercial facility. Properly carried out maintenance adds to the overall life of your surface and protects your Fuzion carpet tile warranty. It’s best to vacuum your carpet at least twice a week. If you can’t vacuum your entire house, office or commercial space this often, at least vacuum the high traffic areas twice a week. If you want to extend the life of your carpet tile even further, it is recommended to have it professionally steam-cleaned at least once a year.

Many carpet tile manufacturers suggest using a hair dryer to dry the damp area. Simply pull up the soiled tile and rinse in water then apply a very small amount of mild hand dishwashing soap to the stain, work in and rinse clean.

Carpet that is wet cleaned should dry in approximately 12 hours if done properly. Carpet that is professionally cleaned should not be wet long enough to mold.
