Amtico

Amtico flooring is designed for durability and easy maintenance. To keep it looking its best, regularly sweep or vacuum to remove dust and grit. Clean with a damp mop using Amtico’s recommended floor cleaner—avoid steam mops or harsh chemicals. For added protection, place mats at entrances and use felt pads under furniture. With simple care, your Amtico floor will stay beautiful for years to come.

Karndean

Karndean flooring is low-maintenance and built to last. To keep it looking fresh, sweep or vacuum regularly to remove dust and debris. Clean with a damp mop and Karndean’s approved cleaning solution—avoid steam mops and abrasive products. Use doormats to trap dirt and protect high-traffic areas, and add felt pads under furniture legs. With the right care, your Karndean floor will maintain its style and performance for years to come.

Gently blot any solids with a dull edge or clean cloth—never rub—and use an absorbent towel to soak up liquid spills before applying any cleaner. For general stains, use the Mild Cleaner, working from the outer edge inward. Apply the Fresh Stain Remover to fresh spills, let it sit for two minutes, then gently roll a microfiber cloth over the area. For older stains, use the Resistant Stain Remover, leave for five minutes, and blot. Always dab or roll the cloth to avoid damaging the fabric. Rinse away residue with a damp, colour-fast cloth if needed, and finish with the Fabric Deodoriser—always test in an inconspicuous area first.
