Kolter Homeowner Guide

Cleaning the floor Do not use vacuums with beater bars. Vacuum only with vacuums that have bare- floor attachments. Limit how often you use water to clean wood floors and then use only a damp cloth. Avoid washing them or using a wet mop. The water may cause problems like swelling and warping.

Protect the floor from direct sunlight which causes it to fade.

If you own pets, keep their nails trimmed.

Avoid wearing certain types of shoes that may scratch the floor — those with spike or stiletto heels or those with heel taps.

Do not use alkaline substances like ammonia. They may result in dark spots on the floor.

Avoid wax-based cleaning products.

Check manufacturer’s recommendations for approved wood-floor cleaners.
