• NEVER shut down the ventilating system in your facility for a prolonged period of time.

• NEVER use household cleaning products or procedures. They can be harmful to the floor finish and to the wood and may also leave floors sticky or slippery, and potentially harmful to users. • NEVER clean your floor using scrubbing machinery or power scrubbers that use water under pressure. Water is your platform’s worst enemy!

• NEVER attempt to modify or repair your sports floor without first consulting with your flooring contractor. Please post Maintenance Procedures in the office of the superintendent, the maintenance engineer, or the custodian. The warranty is solely based on strict compliance with the care and maintenance outlined in this manual.

• Since all wood flooring will expand and contract as relative humidity varies, it is important to minimize extremes between low and high. Hardwood flooring is manufactured at moisture content most compatible with a 35%-50% relative humidity range. Geographical regions and available mechanicals determine the typical range of temperature and humidity for each facility. Maintaining a 15% fluctuation between highest and lowest average indoor relative humidity provides limited shrinkage and expansion.

2. Excessive Separation and Tightening

• Separation between flooring boards commonly develops during winter low humidity, and flooring typically aligns generally tight during peak summer humidity conditions. While moderate shrinkage and expansion is normal, make use of available HVAC systems to prevent excessive shrinkage and expansion of flooring. 3. Keep Water and Grit off Floor Surface

• NEVER shut down the ventilating system in your facility for a prolonged period of time.

• NEVER use household cleaning products or procedures. They can be harmful to the floor finish and to the wood and may also leave floors sticky or slippery, and potentially harmful to users. • NEVER clean your floor using scrubbing machinery or power scrubbers that use water under pressure.

• Sweep your floor daily with a dry dust mop. Floors with heavy use should be dust mopped up to three times a day. For more thorough daily cleaning, an untreated dust mop may be sprayed with approved diluted (warm water) floor cleaner especially compatible with gym floor finishes (see APPROPRIATE PROTECTION). Apply cleaning solution to dust mop and not directly to floor, and replace soiled dust mop covers as necessary.

Do not allow cleaning residue to build up on the floor surface from excess treatment of dust mop.

• Wipe liquid spills and water from the floor immediately with a thoroughly wrung soft cloth or thoroughly wrung mop dampened with approved floor cleaner. Remove chewing gum by applying crushed ice in a plastic bag until the gum becomes brittle enough to crumble off the floor surface. Clean remaining residue with cloth dampened with floor cleaner.
