* Light commercial is defined as environments which do not have heavy commercial traffic, where the flooring is not exposed to a heavy commercial maintenance schedule and where the interior temperature and humidity can be controlled and maintained. If there is any question as to whether the site is determined to be light commercial contact Mannington Customer Care Department.

LIMITED PRE-INSTALLATION REPLACEMENT WARRANTY
Prior to installation, Mannington will replace (up to a maximum of 6 months after date of purchase) any Mannington Laminate flooring plank which does not meet with your satisfaction. Simply return the plank to your Mannington retailer and you will be given a replacement.
REMEDIES AVAILABLE TO YOU
If a panel fails to perform as stated in the applicable Limited Warranty, Mannington will, at its option, (i) repair the panel without charge to conform to the warranty; or (ii) replace the panel without charge with a panel from the same collection, if it is still available, or a panel of equal value and/or quality. If your floor was installed by a professional flooring contractor hired by you, Mannington will also pay for the professional labor cost to install your replacement floor. If Mannington repairs or replaces a panel as a result of a warranty claim, you will be required to clear at your expense any items placed over the affected area subsequent to the original installation.
Warranty coverage for a replacement panel will be limited to the remaining time of the original warranty.

SpillShield®Plus Waterproof Technology Warranty Restoration Collection®
This warranty applies solely to the Mannington Restoration Collection® with SpillShield®Plus Waterproof Technology.
Any product within the Restoration Collection® will not be damaged by topical, localized surface spills provided they are removed within a reasonable period of time.
The following terms and conditions apply to this extended warranty:
1. All existing Mannington Laminate warranty conditions apply. For further details, please visit http://www.mannington.com/ Residential/Laminate/Warranty.
2. The warranty applies only to the first owner and first installation of the products and may not be transferred. This warranty applies only to first quality product purchases made after the edition date of these warranty conditions for the designated time period when the product is installed indoors. The laminate may not be installed in areas of extremely high temperatures or humidity such as saunas and swimming pool areas. The product may be installed in full bathrooms provided a silicone edge sealant is applied along all vertical walls and surfaces such as tubs and showers.
3. When installing in wet areas such as a bathroom, laundry room, and/or around sinks and appliances such as dishwashers and refrigerators, any planks that are cut on the ends or sides must have the SpillShield® Applicator solution and/or a high-quality silicone edge sealant applied.
4. This warranty applies only to defects inherent to the material supplies. It includes the delamination of the wear layer, but does not include wear along the edges of the planks less than 3/16” from the edge. Mannington will repair or replace the product, at its option. When replacement of the flooring is made, only new flooring from the current product range at the time the complaint is upheld will be supplied by the retailer or contractor. Responsibility under this warranty only applies to hidden defects. Flooring planks installed with obvious visual defects are not covered under this warranty.
5. This warranty does not apply to laminate flooring that has been put to abnormal use or abused in any way. These conditions may include, but are not limited to:
a. Water damage from storms, floods, or excessive plumbing leaks
b. Damage caused by negligence
c. Damage caused by improper alterations of the product
d. Damage caused by water or moisture trapped beneath the floor including, but not limited to, hydrostatic pressure or other conditions that result in water or moisture originating below the floor.

MANNINGTON FLOOR CARE INSTRUCTIONS
A Mannington Laminate Floor is the closest thing there is to a “maintenance-free” floor. The melamine-impregnated surface with aluminum oxide makes it resistant to dirt and dust.
IMPORTANT – The laminate surface may have residual wax from the manufacturing process or from the package. The first and only cleaning should be done with a cloth or mop (micro-fiber or terry cloth hooded) slightly dampened with original Windex® (blue), rubbing alcohol, or Simple Green®. This will remove the wax. Once the wax is removed, the recommended maintenance should be ordinary vacuuming or sweeping, and cleaning with Mannington Ultra Clean.
Ordinarily vacuuming or sweeping is usually sufficient to keep the floor clean. If needed, occasionally clean with a cloth or mop (micro-fiber or terry cloth hooded) slightly dampened with Mannington’s Ultra Clean System.
Mannington approves the use of residential steam based cleaners that are designed for use on hard surface floors.
IMPORTANT TIPS:
– Never flood the floor with water.
– Do not use soap-based detergents, as these may leave a dull finish on your floor.
– Do not use abrasive cleaners, steel wool or scouring powder, as these may scratch your floor.
– Never wax, polish, sand or lacquer a Mannington Laminate Floor.
– Use doormats outside each entrance to your home to prevent dirt, sand, grit and other substances such as oil, asphalt and driveway sealer from being tracked onto your floor.
–For furnishings, use wide-bearing, non-staining floor protectors, such as clear, hard plastic or non-staining felt protectors for heavy furnishings.
– Promptly remove all liquid spills.
The overall stain resistance of our Mannington Laminate Floors is excellent and most spills will wipe off quickly and easily with a clean, white cloth. Removing certain substances may take a little extra effort, as outlined in the chart below.
