How to Treat Stains, Spills & Scuffs
Follow the remedies in order. Unless instructed otherwise, use a clean, white cloth or towel with products recommended
for IVC US Laminate flooring. Always rinse the affected area with clean water after treatment.
Rubber marks, scrapes or scuffs from shoe heels, dirt from the street, pencil or crayon marks:
Use a dust cloth.
Fruit, berries, milk, beer, wine, tea, soft drinks:
Wipe off immediately with an absorbent cloth - or with a damp cloth if it has already dried in - and rub dry.
Blood, urine:
Remove immediately with a damp cloth and wipe off any remaining dirt with a suitable laminate cleaner.
Nail polish, shoe polish, varnish, ink, makeup, felt pen:
Remove with a drop of acetone on a clean cloth which you should apply on the stain only. Follow the safety instructions
that come with the product used. Do not use greasy chemical cleaners such as white spirit.
Chocolate, fat, oil:
Remove with a suitable laminate cleaner.
Greasy stains:
May occur after cleaning as certain cleaning products can leave an oily residue (film) on the floor. We recommend to mix
1/2 tablespoon of lemon juice or plain vinegar in a bucket of clean water (1.3 gallons to 2.6 gallons) and mop the laminate
with a well-wrung cloth (see instructions for intensive use). In case of a persistent residue, this will have to be repeated
several times.
CAUTION!
Isopropyl alcohol, lighter fluid, odorless mineral spirits and paint thinner are flammable solvents. Carefully read and follow
cautionary information on their respective labels. Keep traffic off treated area for 30 minutes.
