We recommend the use of Congoleum adhesives, seam sealers and floor care products because they have been formulated specifically for, and extensively tested on, our products. The warranty on your Congoleum floor will not be voided if you use non-Congoleum products. However, problems caused or contributed to, by the use of adhesives, seam sealers and floor care products not distributed by Congoleum are not covered under the warranty.

Do not apply polish on AirStep Advantage, AirStep Evolution or AirStep Plus. These products contain Scotchgard Protector in the wearlayer that already provides excellent protection. For other Congoleum floors, application of polish will provide additional protection, so we recommend using it as part of your regular maintenance.

We recommend using non-staining, 100% latex-backed mats or rugs because some rubber-backed mats or carpets may permanently stain your floor. Check with the rug manufacturer to find out if the rug is safe to put over a Congoleum floor.

Furniture legs should have large surface, non-staining floor protectors. Chair leg glides should be covered with felt pads. The felt pads should be checked periodically for grit and wear and replaced when necessary. Chairs with casters should have easily swiveling casters that are at least 2” in diameter with non-staining hard rubber treads at least ¾” wide. Do not use ball-shaped casters.

Congoleum is the only company to infuse Scotchgard™ Protector into a resilient flooring product. Scotchgard™ Protector is a built-in stain and soil repellent to help keep floors looking great. It makes maintenance easy by resisting soil, dirt and dust; repelling oily and watery stains; resisting scuffing and repelling sticky substances.
