Measuring for furniture floor protectors can be tricky because a fraction of an inch matters. If clear sleeve furniture floor protectors are what you might want to buy, purchase the Clear Sleeve Sample Kit to find the right fit by using the included tape measure and trying on different sizes. If you are looking to buy flat, peel and stick, felt pads, measure the diameter on the bottom of the furniture leg that it will adhere to and choose the pad closest in size without going larger. For all other types of furniture floor protectors, call for assistance at (877)356-6748 or send a message via the Messenger icon or send an email.

Buy a sample set that provides you with one of each size clear sleeve protector and a measuring tape. Customers love it because it saves lots of time and hassle over buying the wrong size set of chair leg protectors and having to return/exchange. Aim for a snug fit on the chair leg. You may need to warm the clear plastic sleeve with a hair dryer or put it in a in a sealed plastic bag and immerse it in hot water to make the sleeve more pliable.

Refer to the flooring manufacturer's maintenance instructions to find the cleaner that they recommend. It has been tested and proven to work for your specific floor so you can be sure it is the best product to clean your floor without leaving haze or residue. For a new floor, using the recommended cleaning products is often required to uphold the manufacturer warranty.

The products that are in a flooring brand's maintenance instructions have been tested on the specific floor for which they are recommended so you can be confident that they will work as expected. Most flooring manufacturer warranties are contingent upon proper care of the floor utilizing recommended maintenance products. If you are using a product that is not recommend and have a problem, it may not be covered by the flooring warranty.

Yes, because Hartco wood floors are impregnated with an acrylic finish, Armstrong Shinkeeper is the right floor polish for these wood floors. This use for Shinekeeper is not stated on the product label because the manufacturer was concerned that it would confuse consumers who have other types of Armstrong hardwood floors. Hartco is now part of Armstrong Flooring. When Pattern Plus Shine was discontinued, Armstrong provided a memo, to 1877FloorGuy, indicating Armstrong Shinekeeper as the correct replacement product for use on Hartco acrylic-impregnated floors. You can download the memo for your reference.

AHF has a web page dedicated to Hartco wood floors, to guide consumers with care products by name and instructions for cleaning and polishing Hartco acrylic-impregnated wood floors.

Yes, the item page, on 1877floorguy.com, has links to 2 videos that demonstrate how to use the materials in the Dr Schutz ScratchFix Kit to repair scratches and scuff marks on luxury vinyl flooring.

Yes, Dr Schutz Scratch Fix Kit is designed to fix superficial scratches and scuffs on Luxury Vinyl Tile & Plank floors.

Dr Schutz Scratch Fix Kit repairs the clear wear layer of your floor which is made of polyurethane. Underneath of the clear wear layer is the print film which makes up the various wood or tile patterns, so there is no need to worry about colors matching. Dr Schutz Scratch Fix pen and spray do not contain color, they are both clear and will match the sheen level of most luxury vinyl floors. Sometimes there is a sheen variation that can be adjusted with application technique so we suggest using the Scratch Fix Kit on a scrap piece of flooring or in an inconspicuous area to test application before repairing the scratches on a highly visible area of flooring.

How often your floor is cleaned will depend on how much traffic and activity your floor has. For example - For more traffic / activity you may have to clean your floor daily which is common for commercial facilities including doctor offices and retail stores. For less traffic / activity, as in most homes, you may only need to clean the floor once a week though sweeping more frequently than that may be required.

Yes, we have a special 'Winter Shipping Advisory' on our shipping information page that states, "**Winter Shipping Advisory: Due to adverse weather conditions that occur during the cold weather months of autumn and winter, 1877floorguy.com reserves the right to hold any order containing product that is not freeze thaw stable. This applies to, but is not limited to, acrylic floor polishes and sealers. This may cause a delay in shipping but you will be notified by a customer service rep from 1877floorguy.com if your order is being held."

Most floor cleaning products are stable if they freeze then thaw, meaning they are good for use or "freeze-thaw stable". Flooring finishes and sealers are NOT freeze-thaw stable so if they freeze in transit they are no longer usable. 1877FloorGuy includes heat packs, as needed, in packages that are at risk for freezing when products in the package are not freeze-thaw stable and transit time is taken into account before these packages leave our warehouse. When transit time is likely to exceed the capability of the heat packs, that last up to 96-hours, an order will be held at our warehouse until it possible to ship them for safe arrival at customer locations. Most often, this is just a couple of days delay. Customers will always be notified when there is a shipping delay, via email or telephone call.

Items that are not freeze-thaw stable have a 'Do NOT Freeze' icon and you can check the list of products that are NOT freeze-thaw stable. These products may experience a shipping delay during cold weather months. If you are still unsure about the freeze-thaw stability of an item, call Customer Support to inquire.

You may find this in the carton with your order during extremely cold weather. This is a heat pack that is placed in with your product to keep it from freezing while in transit. The heat pack is comparable to hand warmer heat packs you might use in your gloves. The heat pack is placed in the brown paper bag because it requires paper around it to properly conduct heat in the carton. Heat pack will become solid when no longer emitting heat.

This heat pack can be discarded in the trash and requires no special handling. Do not open or puncture the heat pack.

The industrial heat pack is non-toxic and environmentally safe however the packet should not be opened. If the inner contents of the white packet come into contact with skin, eyes, or mouth, it is advised by the maker of the heat pack to flush with cold water then contact a physician. Keep heat pack out of reach of children.

Heat pack contains iron powder, activated carbon, wood powder, vermiculite, salt and water package label Feb 2019.
