 Due to the residue that develop during the

manufacturing process. New resilient floors should not
be waxed immediately after installation. To prepare
the floor for the initial polishing, it should be
thoroughly scrubbed.
 For the care of resilient floors, an emulsion wax is
recommended. First sweep the floor to remove dust &
loose dirt form the floor. Then pour a small quantity of
this emulsion wax on the floor & spread evenly with a
clean cloth. Let it dry completely for 20 minutes, then
buff with a clean dry cloth, abaca footpads, a coconut
husk or floor polisher.

 To prevent damage while removing chewing gum,

candle wax & tar from resilient floors, use an ice cube
in a plastic bag & place it on the problem spot area to
harden the gum. Then scrape the dirt with a dull-edged
tool. Clean by rubbing with fine still wool or nylon net
dipped in detergent solution. Rinse, let dry & apply it
with emulsion polish.
 To remove black heel marks from floors without
reducing the entire floor, rub the marks with fine steel
wool or nylon net dipped in emulsion wax. Rub the area
gently then buff. Spread the new wax over the cleaned
area, blending edges, & let dry.
