Care & Maintenance

Kayuna® engineered timber flooring is easy to care for and maintain.

Regularly vacuuming, brooming or mopping with a damp mop (never wet mop) will maintain your floor in good condition. However some precautions need to be taken in order to extend the lifespan of your floor.

Below are some tips to help your floor look stunning for a long time. For comprehensive care & maintenance instructions please click here to download in pdf format.

Maintenance

  1. Remove dust, grit and sand to prevent the floor from scratching or dulling of the finish;
  2. Wipe up spills or spots immediately;
  3. Do not use an abrasive or a solvent based cleaner, an ammonia based cleaner, abrasive pads, steel ool , sand paper or any other substances that might scratch and/or damage the floor and never pour water directly or indirectly on the floor;
  4. Stains can be removed with methylated spirit or soft PH neutral soap and hot water with a damp cloth.

Keeping your floor in a fine condition:

  1. We recommend to use mats or rugs at entryways, high traffic areas (e.g. walk ways, under tables, in front of lounges etc); use castor chair protective mats under castor chairs. Make sure they are large enough to cater for the entire radius of the chair;
  2. Rugs on timber floors may result in colour variation between covered and exposed areas of the floor. This variation is caused by the natural reaction of the timber with UV light, the so called aging process. In this case we recommend that you uncover the affected areas and leave exposed. The variation will gradually reduce. The timing will depend on the light intensity shining on the floor;
  3. Avoid direct sunlight on your floor by using window protection;
  4. Use wide, non staining glides or castors under the legs of furniture and heavy appliances to avoid indentations and scratching;
  5. Furniture and appliances can be moved by sliding them on a clean piece of carpet upside-down, a purposely created device or by lifting the items;
  6. Trim the nails of your pets to avoid scratching the floor;
  7. You can repair the factory applied lacquer if scratching or damage might occur. Smooth the affected area with a 120 to 150 grid sandpaper then touch-lacquer the damaged area. To judge the expected result, test the lacquer on non visible area of the floor prior to full application.
