Vinyl Floors
The vinyl fl ooring in the motorhome is durable and long lasting when properly maintained. Clean up spills
with a damp sponge or paper towel. Do not use cleaners containing abrasives or scouring pads as these may
damage the fi nish. Keep the fl oor clean as dirt, grit and soil can act as abrasives. A 100% latex backed fl oor mat
may help to keep the fl oor clean. Do not use rubber backed mats or runner casters, as they may stain the fl ooring.
Use large protection pads with felt spots on bases of heavy stationary items to help disperse the weight. Stiletto
heels may permanently damage the fl ooring. When moving heavy objects lay a piece of plywood down to prevent
accidental galling of the vinyl.
NOTE:
Some dishwashing liquids, oil-based cleaners and one step polishes may not be suitable
cleaners for the flooring. They can leave an oily residue that attracts soil and reduces gloss.
CAUTION:
Flooring may become extremely slippery when wet. Avoid personal injury by wiping up
spills and keeping the floor dry.
Laminate Floors
Laminate fl ooring used in the motorhome provides style, durability and ease of maintenance. This high-
pressure laminated fl ooring is designed to be incorporated as a fl oating fl oor.
Laminate fl ooring is constructed of three main material components. The surface, similar to many countertops,
contains aluminum oxide particles to form an extremely hard, durable outer layer. The carrier, or core layer, is
constructed from high-density fi berboard. A tongue and groove design provides a tighter bond. The backer or
bottom layer is also made of laminate for strength.
Cleaning and Maintenance:
For everyday cleaning, vacuum the fl oor to remove dirt and debris. It is recommended to occasionally mop
the fl oor using a cotton string mop and a minimal amount of water. Use a mixture of soap-free household cleaner
(either vinegar or ammonia work well) and water for a more thorough cleaning.
• Wipe away stains with a damp cloth.
• Stains caused by inks or paints may require a cloth moistened with acetone (nail polish remover).
• Stains caused by gum or tar should be allowed to harden completely before gently scraping away.
• Felt protectors on the bottom of furniture and fl oor mats can preserve the beauty and appearance of the
fl ooring.
CAUTION:
Abrasive cleaners and scouring pads can scratch and damage the flooring. Never wax, sand
or apply lacquer to laminate flooring.
