1. Ongoing Daily Routine
   a. Clean the floor daily with a soft towel (tack rag) wrapped around
       the head of a large push broom. The Tack Rag should be damp
       with luke-warm water. It should not drip. If the floor is used
       heavily, tack the floor at least twice daily.
   b. Wipe up spills and any moisture on the floor surface immediately.
   c. Remove heel/scuff marks using an approved floor cleaner applied
       with a soft cloth or a dusting mop. We recommend using Hillyard
       Super Shine-All.
   d. Make sure the Heating/Ventilating/Air Conditioning system is
       functioning properly and set to maintain indoor relative humidities
       between 35% and 50% year round. In areas where the outside
       humidity is consistently high or low, a 15% fluctuation will not
       adversely affect the maple.
   e. Inspect the floor for tightening or shrinkage. If the floor has
       expansion joints, see if they are beginning to close. Check the
       expansion void around the perimeter. Check for any water leaks
       around the doors, windows, under skylights, roof, and
       ventilating systems.
2. Quarterly
   a. Use Hillyard Super Shine-All according to the manufacturers
       instructions and thoroughly clean the floor.
3. Yearly
   a. Using #100 abrasive screen disks, abraid the floor thoroughly
       at a rate of 500 sqft per disk. Take the shine off the existing
       finish.
   b. Clean the floor completely. Use a vacuum and then tack the floor
       as described above. Ensure that no dust is left on the floor.
   c. Using a lambs wood applicator, apply one coat of oil modified,
       V.O.C compliant, high solids polyurethane.
   d. Wait until dry and apply second coat of polyurethane.
   e. Stay off the floor for a minimum of 72 hours prior to use.
4. Every 7 to 10 years
   a. Plan on sanding the floor to bare wood. In order to keep the
       floor beautiful, it will be important, on a scheduled basis, to take
       all the finish off the floor and start over again.
