Painted on heavy duty canvas or linoleum using acrylic and latex paints, our floorcloths are treated with multiple layers of varnish and a layer of floor wax for extra durability.

Care and Maintenance Installation There are a few things you should know before you lay your floorcloth in place. The relative thinness and flexibility of the floorcloth allow it to take on characteristics of the surface beneath it. For this reason, place your rug on as clean and flat surface as possible. If the floorcloth has been rolled and is cold, give it a chance to warm up before unrolling it slowly and positioning it. When you are satisfied it is in the right place, give the rug time to relax and flatten out naturally. Do not force the floorcloth to unroll; as it warms to room temperature, it will return to its flat, flexible self. Consider what furniture will be placed on top of the rug and check for feet that could scratch it. If necessary, use a protective coaster under the leg or a plastic glide attached to the leg itself. These will protect the floorcloth surface. Cleaning Soft soapy water with mild dish detergent and a damp sponge or sponge mop are all that you need for regular care. After mopping the floorcloth with soapy water, rinse off any soapy residue and wipe dry. Avoid abrasive, gritty cleaners - except in liquid form; oil soaps, alcohol - and - ammonia based cleaners. Your floorcloth will last longer and be easier to maintain if you periodically renew the wax coating. Remove old wax by washing the rug with hot water and a mild liquid abrasive cleanser. Thoroughly clean and dry the rug and apply a thin coat of clear non-yellowing paste wax (bowling alley wax). Allow the wax to dry before buffing it to a sheen with a soft cloth
