Looking After Your Floor
Simple, considered care that keeps your Heritage Impressions floor beautiful for a lifetime.
Your Heritage Impressions floor carries a registered embossed surface and a polyurethane reinforcement that guards against everyday wear. With a little routine attention, it will hold its depth, warmth and texture for the full life of your residential guarantee.
After installation
- Allow 24 hours before walking on the floor once the installers have finished.
- Sweep or vacuum gently to lift any loose grit left from the installation.
- Replace furniture gradually, using protective pads from the outset.
Day-to-day cleaning
- 01 Sweep or vacuum to remove loose dirt, grit and dust.
- 02 Dilute a neutral pH floor cleanser to the manufacturer's instructions.
- 03 Mop evenly with a clean microfibre head, working in one direction.
- 04 Rinse with clean water and allow the floor to dry completely.
Protecting your floor
Felt pads & cups
Fit felt pads to chair and table legs, and place protective cups beneath heavy furniture to guard against scratches and indentation.
Spills & moisture
Lift any spillage as soon as it appears with a soft, damp cloth to keep the surface pristine and reduce the risk of a slip.
Entrance matting
Lay a barrier mat at doorways to capture grit and moisture before it reaches the floor. Avoid rubber-backed mats, which can mark the surface.
Pets & claws
Keep pet claws neatly trimmed — fine scratches are the most common cause of dulling over time on any wood-effect floor.
Do & don't
- Sweep or vacuum daily with a soft brush head to lift loose grit and dust
- Use a clean microfibre mop and a neutral, diluted floor cleanser
- Rinse with clean water and let the floor dry fully before replacing furniture
- Blot spills immediately and pat the area dry
- Keep entrance mats clean and shake them out regularly
- Abrasive scourers, wire wool or steam cleaners
- Solvents, bleach, caustic detergents, washing-up liquid or furniture polish
- Pine gels, stain removers or strongly coloured cleaning products
- Dragging unprotected furniture across the surface
- Rubber-backed rugs that can discolour the floor over time
When in doubt, contact your Heritage Impressions retailer before using a new product.
