BRILLIANCE Maintenance & Care Instruction
Beautiful Hardwood Floors of Lasting Value! The Matching Care System
Important Advice
The room climate ideally should be 18-20 °C (64-68 °F) at 50-60% RH. This helps to avoid excessive gaping (back drying).
Dust and loose dirt can be removed dryly using a soft cloth, a suitable broom, or a vacuum cleaner. To avoid scratches, remove dirt regularly and gently, and use felt pads under furniture or suitable chair castors.
Please take into account that when cleaning the hardwood floor with liquids, the cleaning cloth should be no more than fog-damp. Too much water results in unnecessary swelling of the wood, and repeated over-watering may damage the floor.
Cleaning Frequency Guidelines
| Traffic Exposure | Initial Care | Routine Cleaning, Dry | Routine Cleaning, Fog-damp | Maintenance Care | Basic Cleaning |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Moderate | 1 x | Every day or as needed | 8-14 days | 2-3 x p.a. | 1 x p.a. |
| Medium | 1 x | Every day or as needed | 2-4 days | 4-6 x p.a. | 2 x p.a. |
| Heavy | 1 x | Every day or as needed | Every day | 8-12 x p.a. | 4 x p.a. |
Depending on the actual use of the hardwood floor, you may need to deviate from these intervals.
