The Dos

1. The dirt and the dust either from the windows or from your boots can get accumulated on the floor. This can be a major issue if not removed from time to time. So, it is advisable to sweep or vacuum it daily.
2. In order to minimise the amount of dirt and small debris, it is advisable to place rugs at the entrance and exit of the room. The more frequently you will clean it, the less time you will take to finish it.
3. If you get a stain, you can wet wash it easily with the help of the mop. A cup of white vinegar with a gallon of water and few drops of lime juice can make the floor spotless. You need to consider is that, you need to make sure that you do not use any acidic cleaning agent to remove stains. In fact, use the cleaning agents that are recommended by the manufacturer or the installation company.

The Don'ts

1. Well, the most important rule is not to touch the floor for at least 72 hours after it gets installed. The adhesive needs time to sink in and set hold. After the three full days, you can consider that the complete installation process is finished. Once it is done, you can start treating it as floor and start cleaning and using normally.
2. If you are using the buffing machine to clean the floor, make sure you are not operating it at more than 350 revolutions per minute, as it may damage your floor.
3. Do not use the pads and the steel wool scrubs for cleaning the rubber floor. They are so harsh that they will leave the scars on the floor.
