for choosing Glitsa products to finish your hardwood floors.

Feet and PawsKeep your shoes in good condition...high heels without a protective cap can actually dent the wood! Trim and buff your pet's claws often. As an extra precautionary measure, you may place booties on their feet to prevent premature scratching and wear.

Floor ProtectorsBe sure your chair legs and other pieces of furniture all have Glitsa Safeglides® Felt Floor Protectors on them. Without protection, constant sliding and movement will prematurely wear and scratch your floor. Safeglides® are available for purchase online or through your contractor.

No wax, No oilsDo not ever wax your Glitsa finished floors or clean them with an oil-treated solution. Wax and oils can contaminate your floor, creating adhesion and other problems with future recoats.

RecoatEven the most well-maintained floors eventually need recoating. Call your local professional contractor to discuss recoating your Glitsa finished floor. For minor blemishes in small areas for the Gold Seal Swedish System, use Glitsa Gold Seal Aerosol. Do not attempt a repair of this sort on bare wood.

Know Your FloorRemember what products were used to finish and clean your wood floor. Keep track of the dates (month and year) the floor was installed, finished, refinished and/or repaired. Write down the company name of your floor installer and finisher. If or when you move, leave the above information in the home.

Superior Finish Systems and quality maintenance products keep your

floors looking their best.

Glitsa is proud to offer the very best authentic Swedish finishes, waterborne finishes and oil-modified polyurethane finishes for your hardwood flooring.

Simple steps can be taken to maintain the beauty and luster of your new Glitsa finished floors.

Tip Toe TimeThe first few weeks after application, use your floors with loving care. Glitsa recommends the following timeline to ensure proper drying and curing:

Walking on floors at least 24 hoursReplacing furniture 2-3 daysRug covering 2 weeksAny use of water at least 2 weeks

Additional air circulation from open windows and fans will also help a finished floor cure faster.

Dust MopSand and grit will cause premature wear. Use Glitsa’s mop with the untreated Dust Pad on your floor regularly. Placing walk-off mats inside and ouside of key entry points and near sinks will help prevent the spread of such material. If you use non-slide pads under rugs, make sure they are a breathable mesh type of material.

CleaningWipe up food and spills immediately with a dampened (not soaking wet) Glitsa Mop with Cleaning Pad or a paper towel. Excessive use of water can damage wood. Regular cleaning should be done with specially formulated Glitsa Clean Hardwood Floor Cleaner on a Glitsa Mop with Cleaning Pad. Both are available online for purchase or through your contractor.
