OUTDOOR USE

Sweep the carpeting frequently with a broom to remove surface soil, and hose down occasionally with water. Do not use a rotary brush machine.

INDOOR USE

Vacuum the grass like carpeting as you would any other type of carpeting to pick up surface soil.

STAIN REMOVAL

Grass like carpeting of Polyloom is resistant to stains. However, splits do occur, and the resulting stains should be removed as soon as possible. In most cases, they can be removed with either detergent suds or a solvent-based cleaning agent. Follow the STAIN REMOVAL CHART for specifics.
