Use the cleaning method recommended for your Amtico collection.<\/p><\/div><\/header><div style=\"max-width:860px;padding:24px;margin:0 auto;font-size:17px;line-height:1.75\"><section style=\"margin:34px 0\"><h2 style=\"font-size:28px;line-height:1.18;letter-spacing:-.025em;color:#111\">What should I use instead?<\/h2><p>Amtico\u2019s cleaning guidance recommends a soft brush for loose dirt and cleaning with its recommended floorcare products. Follow the current care guide and the product\u2019s dilution instructions.<\/p><p>Before buying a cleaner, identify the collection and check its instructions. Do not assume that a method shown for a different floor, or described as suitable for \u201chard floors\u201d, has been approved for your Amtico product.<\/p><\/section>\n<section style=\"margin:34px 0\"><h2 style=\"font-size:28px;line-height:1.18;letter-spacing:-.025em;color:#111\">Does a waterproof description make steam cleaning safe?<\/h2><p>It does not override the manufacturer\u2019s care instructions. For Amtico, the relevant instruction remains to avoid steam cleaning. Product descriptions and cleaning permissions answer different questions.<\/p><\/section>\n<section style=\"margin:34px 0\"><h2 style=\"font-size:28px;line-height:1.18;letter-spacing:-.025em;color:#111\">What if I have already used a steam mop?<\/h2><p>Stop using steam and keep a record of the product, cleaner, equipment and method used. If you are concerned about a change in appearance or a loose edge, send photographs to the retailer or installer and ask for advice before applying another treatment.<\/p><p>A description alone is not enough to diagnose damage or decide whether a warranty applies. Keep your invoice and care documents available for that discussion.<\/p><\/section>\n<section style=\"margin:34px 0\"><h2 style=\"font-size:28px;line-height:1.18;letter-spacing:-.025em;color:#111\">Our practical checklist<\/h2><ul><li>Find the product or collection name.<\/li><li>Read the current manufacturer care guide.<\/li><li>Check the cleaner\u2019s label and dilution directions.<\/li><li>Ask before treating an unidentified floor or a persistent mark.<\/li><\/ul><\/section><aside style=\"padding:28px;background:#f7f3f5;border-left:4px solid #ca1470;margin:40px 0\"><h2 style=\"font-size:27px;line-height:1.2\">Make the next step useful.<\/h2><p>Draw on FloorDesigns\u2019 25+ years of flooring experience.
