floor surfaces such as vinyl, tile and
sealed wood. It is not intended for
use on carpet or rugs.
CAUTION: To prevent damage to
wood floors, follow the flooring
manufacturer's cleaning recom-
mendations.
If using cleaner on sealed wood
floors, inspect floor surface for

ed joints. Do not use 'FloorMate'

face.
