ENVIRO CORK:
Cork flooring maintenance

The EnviroCork Pre-finished Glueless collection frequent cleaning guide.

  1. EnviroCork Floors are approved for regular cleaning using the following methods.
  2. Use a dust mop, square hard surface mop or vacuum with the brush turned to the off position to keep your cork floor clean from dust and dirt particles.
  3. For stubborn spot and or spills use of a damp mop is acceptable. Do not use excessive water when cleaning the Cork flooring. Use a specific hardwood floor cleaner available at most grocery stores. The mop should be damp to dry, just enough moisture to loosen dried on spills.
  4. In the event of liquid or spills on the surface of the floor, clean them up right away. Do not allow liquid to stand on the surface of the flooring. Use of a dripping wet sponge mop for cleaning is not permissible.
  5. Do not use soap based floor cleaners, granual abrasive cleansers, steel wool or other abrasive textiles or wax and clean combined products.
  6. Do not use/apply floor wax on your cork floor
  7. Additional coats of floor finish can be applied in the future as needed. Use Bona-Kemi or a similar brand. Test an inconspicuous area to insure the desired gloss level prior to applying.
  8. The EnviroCork Prefinished glueless locking collection is one of the most durable, damage resistant Cork floors to date. Cork floors like any floor can be damaged however. The following are some suggestions for every day use and maintenance.
  9. Use doormats for outside entrances into the home. Do not place the mats on the cork floor, place them on the outside of the entrance.
  10. Use rugs with non abrasive backings for throw rugs. Color fast rugs should only be used.
  11. Limit the use of chairs with sharp narrow legs. Pointed objects like this exert tremendous force when weight is applied to them and will dent any natural Cork surface.
  12. Make use of furniture felt pads under the legs of furniture
  13. Place castors (small plates) under appliance leveling feet.
  14. Limit the use of high heels as they exert significant force in a small area to the surface of the cork flooring.

I ordered five boxes of Apollo Ebony APC Cork flooring from your site. Your price per square foot was slightly more expensive than your competition but with shipping your site still ended up being cheaper.

I received promt and courteous e-mail messages letting me know my order shipped within about 24 hours of placing my order.

Once I received the order a couple days later I noticed one of the boxes had some type of oil substance that had seeped through. Upon further inspection it seemed it went right through the box and was soaked up by the cork, causing it to warp.

I e-mailed customer service immediately and they shipped out a replacement box the next day.

Your quick and friendly service will keep me coming back to Cork Innovations for all my cork flooring needs.

Thank you
