Care & Maintenance

Karndean floors feature K-Guard+® surface protection, making them durable and easy to maintain with simple day-to-day care. Sweep or vacuum regularly to remove dust and grit that may scratch the surface. Clean with a damp mop and neutral pH 7 floor cleaner, avoiding abrasive pads, harsh chemicals and steam mops. Wipe up spills promptly and avoid standing water. Use felt pads under furniture and lift rather than drag heavy items. Place entrance mats to trap dirt and moisture, ensuring they are non-staining and not rubber-backed. In areas with strong sunlight, use curtains, blinds or other window furnishings to reduce UV exposure and help protect your floor’s appearance. We reccomend using Karndean branded cleaning products
