COREtec Naturals+ Spelt Maintenance

The COREtec Naturals+ Spelt is one of the easiest floors to maintain thanks to its waterproof, highly durable design. The dense core and multiple tough layers of SPC flooring make it highly resistant to wear and tear scratches, and stains. This means that daily cleaning is a breeze, and the use of harsh chemicals isn’t necessary.

While you don’t need to spend hours maintaining the floor, there are some minor steps you’ll want to take to help it retain its spectacular looks and performance. These include:

• Giving it a daily sweep or vacuum
• Mopping the floor with a damp or wet mop as and when needed
• Wiping up spills quickly with a damp cloth
• Avoid steam cleaning the floor
• Use rugs and entrance mats to minimise dirt and debris
• Keep pet claws trimmed
• Use suitable flooring protectors
• Minimise exposure to direct sunlight

If you use a vacuum to clean the floor, make sure you are using a hard floor setting without a brush. The brush on vacuum cleaners may scratch the surface of the COREtec Naturals+ Spelt. Similarly, pet claws can also potentially scratch the floor if they aren’t kept well-trimmed. Although SPC flooring is one of the most scratch-resistant types of floors available, it doesn’t mean they won’t get scratched over time if care isn’t taken.

Steam cleaning the floor is also a bad idea as the hot steam may weaken the adhesive bond between the joining and edges. It may also cause bubbling, edge cupping, or warping on the surface of the floor.

Finally, when choosing flooring protectors pay attention to the materials used. Most rubber-backed mats for example contain an antioxidant compound that can cause staining on SPC floors.

If you follow these simple maintenance steps, the COREtec Naturals+ Spelt should look as good as new for potentially decades.
