Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before installation, ensure the subfloor is clean, dry, and level. The tiles should be acclimated to the room temperature for 24-48 hours before being laid. When installing, use a pattern that follows the manufacturer's suggested arrows on the back of the tiles to ensure consistent pile direction. For care, implement a regular vacuuming schedule using a high-quality suction vacuum to remove grit that can damage the fibers over time. Spills should be blotted immediately with a clean, absorbent cloth rather than rubbed, as rubbing can force the liquid deeper into the loop pile. For deep cleaning, use a hot water extraction method no more than once per year to maintain the structural integrity of the backing.
