Following are some key pointers from the! booklet: Put gnats or throw rugs at en- trances to keep grit and moisture from being tracked in, particu- larly if the floor is near a door to the outside.

Sweep or vacuum the floor often to remove loose dirt. When spot cleaning is im- practical ,due to widespread soil- ing, sponge -mop the floor. First, dip the mop into warm water and wring it out well. Push the sponge across the floor, pressing hard enough to loosen surface dirt. Do one small area at a time, wringing out the sponge fre- quently to make sure that the dirt is picked up and not redistri- buted. Let dry. Nowax flooring should be washed when it begins tolook dull with dirt buildup that can't be re- moved by damp -mopping with plain water. It is preferable to have one sponge and bucket for rinsing. 11111 1 • 11 1 1 1 1 Insulate for comfort!
