Maintenance Guide
Maintenance Overview
AVA VRSE is a low maintenance product that is protected by the
AVA AMP urethane nish and does not require an additional
coat of nish onsite. Though this coating greatly improves
the durability of VRSE, daily and routine maintenance must be
performed to maintain the appearance of the product. While
the application of a oor nish will not damage VRSE, the nish
may require additional routine maintenance to maintain the
appearance over time. After the nish is applied initially, it is
the responsibility of the end user to maintain the nish over
time to ensure long-term protection and ease of maintenance.
Floor protection is a critical part of any long-term maintenance
program for resilient ooring. Ensure that all oor protectors
and glides are manufactured from materials that are intended
for resilient ooring to avoid indentation and ooring or
nish damage. Ensure that all furniture feet have proper oor
protection devices installed to avoid premature wear, scratches
and other damage. See Section 3 for details on oor
protection.

1. INITIAL / DAILY MAINTENANCE
Precautions: Remove all metal objects before conducting
maintenance and use caution tape and/or “Wet Floor”
signs to prohibit foot trac until the oor is dry. Do not use
hydrocarbons, harsh disinfectants, cleaning agents, dyes,
acetone or other harsh chemicals – ensure all chemicals and
materials that may come in contact with ooring surface will
not stain, mar or otherwise damage the surface. Do not use
abrasive cleaning pads, as these can damage the ooring.
The application of a oor-nish is not usually recommended
and will change the maintenance protocol. Allow area to dry
completely before allowing foot trac.
Residential: Dust-mop or vacuum the oor to remove any
dirt or debris. Damp-mop the oor as often as required using
a at microber mop or a spray mop. Use a pH neutral, lm-
free and streak-free cleaner concentrate, available at home
improvement stores, and make sure to change the pad as often
as necessary. Steam cleaners with a micro-ber head may also
be used, providing the steaming head is never stationary, as
prolonged, excessive heat can damage any vinyl oor covering.
Commercial: Dust-mop or vacuum the oor to remove any dirt
or debris. Mix a pH neutral, lm-free and streak-free cleaner
with clean, cool potable water and damp-mop or spot clean the
oor as often as necessary. Avoid wet mopping, puddling or
pooling cleaning liquid on the surface.
2. HEAVY CLEANING
Ensure that initial maintenance has been conducted prior
to conducting heavy cleaning. If ooring is heavily soiled or
contaminated with gypsum dust, an auto-scrubber or rotary
machine (185 rpm or less) with pads or brushes that are similar
in grit to 3M 5100 Red Cleaning pads or a dual-bucket mop
system must be used to remove dirt and contaminants from
the surface.
Mix a pH neutral, lm-free and streak-free cleaner with clean,
cool potable water at the appropriate dilution level and apply
to the surface using a new or thoroughly cleaned mop, except
when using an auto-scrubber. When using a rotary machine,
ensure the surface stays wet while scrubbing to prevent marring
or dulling. When using a dual-bucket system, allow the cleaning
solution to dwell for 5-10 minutes before removing. Use a wet
vacuum or clean mop to remove the cleaning slurry, then rinse
with clean, cool water and use a wet vacuum or clean mop to
remove any remaining liquid. Ensure that all cleaning residues
haves been removed (this may require additional rinsing).
3. FLOORING PROTECTION
Do not slide or drag heavy objects across the oor. When
moving appliances, heavy furniture or equipment, protect the
ooring with appropriate, hard surface furniture sliders or 1/2-
in. plywood.
All furniture casters or glides must be intended for resilient
ooring and made of a soft material, such as a felt, silicone
or a poly-based material. Casters and glides must have a at

contact point that is at least 1 -sq. in. or 1.125-in. in diameter
to limit indentation and ooring or nish damage. All rolling
seating in desk areas must have chairs that use soft, W-Type
polyurethane wheels or a resilient ooring chair pad installed
over the nished oor to protect it. Do not use nylon/hard
plastic wheels, glides or casters.
All xed furniture legs or corners must have permanent oor
protectors installed on all contact points to reduce indentation,
wear, scratching and other ooring or nish damage. Floor
protectors must be intended for resilient ooring and made of
a soft material (such as a felt, silicone or a poly-based material).
Floor protectors must have a at contact point of at least 1 -sq.
in. or 1.125-in. diameter and must cover the entire bottom
surface of the furniture leg. Do not use nylon/hard plastic
oor protectors or furniture feet.
Ensure all furniture castors and chair legs are clean and free of
all dirt and debris. Routinely clean chair castors and furniture
legs to ensure that dirt or debris has not built up or become
embedded in castors or oor protectors. Replace chair castors
and oor protectors at regular intervals, especially if they
become damaged or heavily soiled. Felt oor protection devices
may need to be replaced 3 or more times a year to prevent
accumulation. Use an effective walk-off mat or system at all
outdoor entrances/exits and prevent water from accumulating.
Ensure mats are manufactured with non-staining backs to
prevent discoloration.
