# Where flooring warranties disagree — Floor Care Answers > Where 114 flooring warranty documents disagree about care — inside one document, across a brand's lines, and between publishers — both sentences quoted. Source: https://floorcareanswers.com/contradictions --- [Floor Care Answers](https://floorcareanswers.com/) [Identify your floor](https://floorcareanswers.com/identify-your-floor) · [Claim Clock](https://floorcareanswers.com/claim-deadlines) · [Contradiction Ledger](https://floorcareanswers.com/contradictions) · [Steam mops](https://floorcareanswers.com/steam-mop) · [Vinegar & ammonia](https://floorcareanswers.com/vinegar-and-ammonia) · [Robot mops](https://floorcareanswers.com/robot-mop) · [Beater bars](https://floorcareanswers.com/rotary-brush) · [Warranty transfer](https://floorcareanswers.com/warranty-transfer) · [Cloudy floor](https://floorcareanswers.com/cloudy-floor) The Contradiction Ledger # Where flooring warranties contradict each other What one manufacturer says about caring for a floor is on that manufacturer’s own website. What nobody publishes is where the documents pull against each other — and they do, inside a single brochure as often as between two companies. This page is every place in this register they do, with both sentences printed and neither of them chosen over the other. ## What was searched **517** care rules, across 114 documents **26** candidates the query returned **24** published below **2** read and set aside, with the reason printed Documents read on August 22, 2026. The register behind this page holds 172 entries over 163 documents and 33 brands; the counts above are the part of it this ledger was run over. ## What counts as a contradiction here Two rulings about **the same object** that point in opposite directions. Both halves matter, and the second is where a loose query goes wrong: a document that forbids soap-based detergents and prescribes its own cleaner holds two opposite-signed rulings and contradicts nothing, because they are about two different bottles. So a pair only qualifies when both sentences name the same thing — and “the same thing” is not decided here, it is the word this site had already committed to searching for when it recorded the column. Five care columns name a thing and are in scope: Steam mops · Vinegar · Ammonia · Powered rotating heads · Wax, polish and coatings. The rest are not, and the reasons are worth more than the omission: - Which cleaner the warranty requires This column’s subject is the cleaner itself, so its search vocabulary is made of generic words — clean, cleaner, cleaning agent. Two rules sharing one of those words are not thereby about the same product, and the test this ledger runs on every other column cannot tell “do not use soap” and “use our cleaner” apart from a genuine disagreement. None of the candidates it produces survives being read. The same query run over it returns 20 candidates. - Cleaning machines as a class This column exists because two documents rule on a floor cleaning machine without naming one, and that is exactly what keeps it out of a ledger of disagreements. Its search word is the class word itself, and two documents sharing a class word are not thereby ruling on the same machines: Shaw excludes “hard floor cleaning machines” with no limit at all, while LifeProof reaches only “heavy weight commercial cleaning machines”. Both exclude, so the test this page runs would find no disagreement and publish them as agreeing — an agreement neither document makes, over a class neither of them defines. - Robot mops No document in this corpus answers the question, so there is nothing here that could disagree with anything. That silence is itself a finding and it belongs to the register, not to a ledger of disagreements. - Wet mopping Not read yet. A column that has not been read cannot be searched for contradictions. The same query run over it returns 31 candidates. - Humidity range Not read yet. The same query run over it returns 30 candidates. A contradiction is not the only thing worth publishing about a column. Where the documents agree, and where they agree only on a condition, is the answer a reader can actually act on — and for the steam column that is set out in full on [what the warranties say about steam mops](https://floorcareanswers.com/steam-mop), with every condition the permissions are contingent on. The five claim questions — deadlines, who may claim, evidence, removal, transfer — are searched the same way on [the Claim Clock](https://floorcareanswers.com/claim-deadlines), where the notice-period contradictions are published beside the register itself. ## Two rules this page follows **The forbidding sentence is printed first, everywhere.** That is an ordering decision and not a ruling: the intersection of two documents is almost always the narrower of the two, so a reader who stops after one quotation has stopped on the one that breaks nothing. Nothing is coloured against anything else, for the same reason — two sentences tinted red and green would be this site ruling on them while claiming not to. **Every row ends with what breaks neither document.** That is a set operation on sentences rather than an opinion about which publisher is right. Where the set is empty, the row says it is empty; a reader told both things by one document is better served by knowing that than by an answer this site invented for them. ## One document, both answers The hardest kind to act on, because there is nothing else to consult. These documents permit something and forbid it, or exclude cover for the thing they have just described. Some of them resolve it further down — in a warranty section, or in a chart keyed to the product line — and some do not resolve it at all. Every rule each document carries about the object is printed, because that pile-up is the finding. 6 rows 1 ### Permits a steam mop, and withholds cover for steam-mop damage Pergo · Outlast+ · on steam The care section permits a residential steam mop and attaches conditions to it. The exclusion list withholds cover for damage from steam mops “unless product is covered by steam mop warranty”, and this document does carry a section under that heading — so the two sentences are reconciled inside the document, by a third one a reader has to find before either of the first two means what it appears to mean. Pergo, Outlast+ — [Laminate Wood Flooring Limited Warranty (Pergo Outlast+)](https://images.thdstatic.com/catalog/pdfImages/19/19977a07-91f0-470f-8391-ab62535ba29c.pdf) · stamped “All warranty information in this brochure is effective March 11, 2024” · read August 22, 2026 Forbids > Damage resulting from the use of rotating beater bars, floor scrubbers, jet mops, steam mops (unless product is covered by steam mop warranty), buffers or similar products is not covered.

Conditional on: the steam must be applied to a microfiber pad and never directly to the floor, the mop set to the appropriate setting for the floor type or to the lowest setting, and run in the length direction of the planks > Complete waterproof coverage requires the perimeter of the floor to be sealed in accordance with the products installation instructions. The Waterproof warranty does not apply to damage at an unsealed perimeter, including but not limited to: leaks, spills, pet urine, wet mopping, or steam mopping. Conditional on: the perimeter must be sealed to the installation instructions; the Waterproof warranty does not reach damage at an unsealed perimeter What breaks neither Steam mopping inside the conditions the care section names breaks neither sentence, and neither does not steam mopping: the document permits the machine and nowhere asks for it. 2 ### Several sentences about steam, and a chart that decides between them Pergo · Defense+ Laminate, Defense+ Engineered, Outlast+, XP+, XP · on steam This document covers several product lines at once. It says the flooring is not designed for steam mopping, it says never to steam mop unless covered by the Steam Mop Warranty, it permits a residential steam mop under conditions, and it excludes damage from steam mops from cover. The chart at the front is what separates them: some of its lines are given a steam-mop term and some are not, so which sentence governs depends on which line a reader owns. Pergo, Defense+ Laminate, Defense+ Engineered, Outlast+, XP+, XP — [WOOD FLOORING LIMITED WARRANTY — Pergo (chart headed 'FIND THESE PRODUCTS AT YOUR LOCAL HOME DEPOT')](https://images.thdstatic.com/catalog/pdfImages/a5/a51e9147-1e26-44c8-8a69-c88c6afb7322.pdf) · stamped “0860_2022 | ER | 09/2022” · read August 22, 2026 Forbids > Damp mop only.

Steam mopping is inside them only for the lines the chart gives a term to, and only under the conditions the care section lists. 3 ### Permits a steam mop, excludes damage from steamers, and reconciles neither Pergo · Outlast+ · on steam The care section permits a residential steam mop under conditions. The exclusion list withholds cover for damage from steamers, with no carve-out attached. The phrase “steam mop warranty” does not appear anywhere in this document, so unlike the two documents above it there is no third sentence here that puts the first two together. Pergo, Outlast+ — [PERGO Outlast+ Limited Lifetime Residential Warranty](https://mohawk.blob.core.windows.net/pergo/pdfs/Pergo_Outlast_Plus_Warranty.pdf) · stamped “2020_06_OP_WAR” · read August 22, 2026 Forbids > Damage resulting from the use of rotating beater bars, floor scrubbers, steamers, jet mops, buffers or similar products is not covered by this limited warranty. Permits > A residential steam mop may be used provided the steam is applied to a microfiber pad and not applied directly to the floor. Make sure to set the temperature of the steam mop to the appropriate setting for laminate floors, or to the lowest setting. Steam mop in the length direction of the planks only. Conditional on: the steam must be applied to a microfiber pad and never directly to the floor, the mop set to the appropriate setting for the floor type or to the lowest setting, and run in the length direction of the planks What breaks neither Not steam mopping breaks neither sentence — the care section permits the machine rather than asking for it, and the exclusion only reaches damage the machine causes. A reader who does steam mop is inside one sentence and outside the other, and this document says nothing about which of the two then governs. 4 ### One brochure, two directions on steam Mohawk · RevWood Premier, RevWood Plus, RevWood Select, RevWood Essentials, TecWood and UltraWood — one brochure governs all wood lines · on steam This one document says the flooring is not designed for wet or steam mopping, says never to steam mop wood products unless permitted by a Wet Warranty, says the flooring will withstand moisture from steam mopping, carries a warranty chart that grants a steam term to some of its lines, and conditions that cover on the perimeter of the floor having been sealed at installation. The warranty tier is what sorts the sentences out, and the tier is not printed on the plank. Mohawk, RevWood Premier, RevWood Plus, RevWood Select, RevWood Essentials, TecWood and UltraWood — one brochure governs all wood lines — [MOHAWK WOOD PRODUCTS LIMITED WARRANTIES](https://s7d4.scene7.com/is/content/MohawkResidential/mhk_wood_warranty_brochure) · stamped “1186 | SB | 01/2026” · applies to purchases These limited warranties apply only to first quality product purchases made after the edition date of this document. — printed alongside: "All warranty information in this brochure is effective January 2026." · read August 22, 2026 Forbids > The flooring is not designed for wet or steam mopping. > The flooring is not designed for steam mopping. > Never steam mop wood products unless permitted by a Wet Warranty. > Damage resulting from the use of rotating beater bars, floor scrubbers, jet mops, steam mops (unless product is covered by steam mop warranty), buffers, or similar products is not covered.

Conditional on: only under the Enhanced Wet Resistance Warranty, which this document gives to TecWood Enhanced and to no other line in it > WetProtect® is a no-exclusions wet warranty that covers damage from all common household spills, domestic household pet accidents, and steam, wet, or damp mopping.

Conditional on: the perimeter must be sealed to the product’s installation instructions; the Waterproof and WetProtect warranties do not reach damage at an unsealed perimeter What breaks neither Not steam mopping is inside every one of them. Steam mopping is inside them only where the chart gives that line a wet-warranty term and only where the perimeter was sealed to the installation instructions — a condition met or missed years before the question is asked. 5 ### Never polish this floor — and, after a stain, polish it Mannington · ADURA Rigid · on polish The care section forbids polish outright, in a sentence that begins with the word never. The stain procedure in the same document tells a reader whose stain removal has changed the gloss level to apply polish. Both sentences are about polish and there is no third sentence here that puts one above the other. Mannington, ADURA Rigid — [ADURA®Rigid — Limited Warranty for Residential Use](https://assets.ctfassets.net/r69d9lchftro/4vL4fww98KJOg1lYnkVVsM/dc5769a5329ab11b6b6915dfb16ce39d/ADURA_Rigid_Warranty2022_09Fpdf.pdf) · stamped “rev. 10.31.2022” · applies to purchases The Limited Warranties set forth herein apply only to flooring purchased after January 1, 2021. · read August 22, 2026 Forbids > Never wax, polish, sand or lacquer a Mannington ADURA®Rigid Floor. Permits > If stain removal causes a change in gloss level, apply polish per recommended guidelines. Nothing breaks both For a reader whose stain removal has dulled the floor there is no action inside both sentences: one forbids polish and the other prescribes it, and the document that says both is the only one they have. This site will not choose between them, and the honest statement of the intersection is that it is empty. 6 ### Recoating may be needed — and a recoat is outside the warranty Malibu Wide Plank · Solid Hardwood Flooring · on recoating The exclusion places a non-factory finish “by the owner or installer”, refinishing and recoating included, outside cover. The maintenance section of the same document says re-coating in high traffic areas may be needed as part of the product’s normal maintenance. Malibu Wide Plank, Solid Hardwood Flooring — [Limited Residential Warranty for Malibu Wide Plank Solid Hardwood Flooring](https://images.thdstatic.com/catalog/pdfImages/ba/ba0bbe71-6bfb-4b3c-aca1-de90a8a95e33.pdf) · stamped “Document ID#: MWPSHF_LW_073021” · read August 22, 2026 Forbids > Non-factory applied finish (by the owner or installer) including, but not limited to, refinishing, recoating or cleaning and maintenance products. Permits > Re-coating of the floor in high traffic areas may be needed as part of the normal maintenance of the product What breaks neither The exclusion names two parties: the owner and the installer. The maintenance sentence names none. A recoat applied by neither of the two named parties is the only reading on which both sentences stand, and the document does not say who else may apply one. ## One product line, more than one live document Two or more documents cover the same floor and give different answers. Neither is published as a correction of the other, neither has been withdrawn, and a reader has no way to tell from the plank which of them governs. Every rule is printed here too. 1 row 7 ### One product line, several live documents, and they do not agree about steam Pergo · Outlast+ · on steam One of them says never to steam mop laminate products, and the phrase “Steam Mop Warranty” appears nowhere in it — its exclusion carves out damage covered by a warranty the document does not contain. The others permit a residential steam mop under conditions. The forbidding document and one of the permitting ones carry the same effective date, are served from the same retailer, and cover the same product line. Neither is published as a correction of the other and neither has been withdrawn.

Conditional on: the steam must be applied to a microfiber pad and never directly to the floor, the mop set to the appropriate setting for the floor type or to the lowest setting, and run in the length direction of the planks What breaks neither Not steam mopping this floor is inside every one of these documents. None of them asks for the machine, so abstaining is the only action that breaks none of them, and it is available without knowing which one governs. ## One brand, and its own lines disagree The most common shape in this corpus, and the one that makes a brand name useless as an answer. A publisher permits something on one floor and forbids it on another, and the reader who moves house, or replaces one room, carries the old habit onto a floor whose document says the opposite. 10 rows 8 ### Diluted ammonia on the wood and laminate lines, none on the vinyl Pergo · on ammonia Some of this brand’s lines carry a care paragraph offering a third of a cup of non-sudsing ammonia per gallon of water as an option. Others carry a DO NOT list with ammonia in it. The split follows the floor rather than the brand.

On the vinyl lines the ammonia solution is not an option among others: on ADURA Rigid, ADURA PRO Rigid and ADURA Flex it is the only mopping solution the document names, and those same documents forbid soap and detergent.

One forbids polish in its care section and prescribes it in its stain procedure. Another permits it, names the publisher’s own polish for restoring shine, and forbids wax in the same document. The names on the boxes differ by one word. Forbids · 0 documents · 0 brands > Never wax, polish, sand or lacquer a Mannington ADURA®Rigid Floor.

Each side is a real published instruction and no authority here outranks another, so what a reader can safely do is the intersection rather than either answer. 7 rows 18 ### Steam across the corpus · on steam Documents in this corpus forbid steam mopping and documents in this corpus permit it, and the split does not follow the type of floor — vinyl appears on both sides, and so does laminate.

No document anywhere in it asks a reader to steam mop, so this is the rare question where abstaining needs no knowledge of which document governs. 19 ### Vinegar across the corpus · on vinegar This is the only object in the ledger with no disagreement inside any single document and none inside any single brand. Each publisher is consistent with itself and they do not agree with one another. The permitting sentence is one paragraph, repeated across several publishers, offering a cup of vinegar per gallon of water as an option; the forbidding sentences are their own. Forbids · 6 documents · 4 brands > DO NOT use vinegar.

The paragraph that permits it prefaces it with “if needed” and names an alternative in the same breath, so a floor cleaned without vinegar is inside every document in this corpus. 20 ### Ammonia across the corpus · on ammonia The permitting side is largely one paragraph shared across several publishers, offering a third of a cup of non-sudsing ammonia per gallon as an alternative to vinegar. The forbidding side is a list of things not to use. Several brands appear on both sides, on different lines — those are the rows above. Forbids · 8 documents · 6 brands > DO NOT use detergents, abrasive cleaners, soaps, waxes, ammonia, or polishes.

Which quotation was passed over for the example above, and why > Do NOT ammonia or bleaches. The shortest complete forbidding sentence in this corpus, and it is missing its verb as the document prints it. The register carries it with the list around it, where the omission is legible as the publisher’s; standing alone as an illustration it would read as our transcription rather than theirs, and the point of the example is to show the disagreement, not to test the reader’s trust in the quotation. 21 ### Polish across the corpus · on polish This is the widest margin in the ledger. Brands that forbid polish, or withhold cover for polish damage, stand against a single publisher that permits it — and one of that publisher’s own lines forbids it in its care section as well. Forbids · 61 documents · 12 brands > Do not use cleaners with polish, wax or oil.

Others place an owner-applied or installer-applied recoat outside cover. One publisher’s documents do both, and one document does both on its own. Forbids · 4 documents · 4 brands > Recoating and finish alterations (finishes applied by the owner or installer) including, but not limited to, refinishing or recoating.

Where recoating is described as maintenance, no document requires it, and where it is excluded, the exclusion names who applied it rather than the act. 23 ### Refinishing — how many times, and at what cost to the cover across the corpus · on refinishing The documents on the permitting side are specific: one says the covered products may be professionally sanded and refinished one to three times depending on the product, another says at least twice, and both condition it on the procedures a wood-flooring trade association publishes. On the other side the documents say instead that refinishing voids the finish or the wear warranty. A third construction sits between them and is why this row carries an override below: one document permits refinishing and states in the same sentence that doing so voids the finish warranty, which is the forbidding side’s statement wearing the permitting side’s grammar. Forbids · 10 documents · 7 brands > Refinishing the flooring voids the wear resistance warranty. Home Decorators Collection, Laminated Wood — [LAMINATED WOOD LIMITED WARRANTY — Home Decorators Collection](https://images.thdstatic.com/catalog/pdfImages/fa/fa0a7f18-cb38-4106-a990-d2f3ecc187fb.pdf) · stamped “All warranty information in this brochure is effective October 2024.” · read August 22, 2026 Permits · 4 documents · 3 brands > The covered products may be professionally sanded and refinished 1-3 times (as specified by the individual product) if proper sanding and refinishing procedures are followed as identified by the National Wood Flooring Association (www.nwfa.org). Armstrong / AHF, Bruce, Capella, Hartco, Robbins, LM Flooring, TMBR., Hearthwood, Homerwood, Autograph, Crossville hardwood — [Hardwood Flooring Limited Warranty](https://www.robbins.com/assets/content/sites/5/WF-1262-326_8.5x11_HW_Wrnty_ENG.pdf) · stamped “WF-1262-326 All trademarks are owned by AHF, LLC, or its subsidiaries or affiliates. © 2026 AHF, LLC.” · applies to purchases effective for floors purchased on or after March 1, 2026 · read August 22, 2026 What breaks neither Not refinishing is inside every document here. For a reader who wants the floor refinished there is no answer that holds across the corpus: some documents give a number and a procedure, others say the finish warranty ends, and which applies is decided by the document that came with the floor. Which quotation was passed over for the example above, and why > While the factory finish of the Style Selections hardwood floor may be refinished, doing so will void the Finish warranty. The shortest complete permitting sentence, and it says the same thing as the forbidding side: refinishing ends the finish warranty. Printed as the permitting example it would show two sentences that agree and label them a disagreement. It is a real limit of this ledger rather than a stray case — “X voids the warranty” and “do not do X” carry the same practical rule and this register records them under different signs — and the next shortest permitting sentence, which does differ, is used instead. 24 ### Mop-and-shine products across the corpus · on mop-and-shine products Some publishers list mop-and-shine products among the things not to use on their vinyl. Another tells the reader of its own vinyl lines that the floor is low gloss and that polish or mop-and-shine products are there if a shinier floor is wanted. Forbids · 5 documents · 4 brands > Do NOT use an abrasive mop and shine products.

A floor cleaned without one is inside every document here. ## Where every document that answers agrees These are the objects on which no document in this register takes the other side. They are the only care answers here that a reader can act on without first working out which document governs their floor — which makes them, for most people, the most useful lines on the page. Objects named by a single brand are left out and counted at the foot of the table: one publisher agreeing with itself is a house style, not a finding about the category. **Every row below runs the same way: each of these objects is forbidden, or excluded from cover, by every document that names it .** No object left in this register is permitted by all of them, so the table carries no column for the direction — and the column returns if that changes. Objects on which every document in this register that names them takes the same side, with the number of documents and brands behind each. | Object | Column | Documents | Brands | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | a vacuum beater bar | Powered rotating heads | 96 | 24 | | wax | Wax, polish and coatings | 73 | 16 | | applying another finish | Wax, polish and coatings | 40 | 4 | | buffing, or a buffer | Powered rotating heads | 15 | 5 | | a floor scrubber | Powered rotating heads | 15 | 5 | | a power rotary brush head | Powered rotating heads | 10 | 5 | | oil soap | Wax, polish and coatings | 8 | 5 | | a power scrubber | Powered rotating heads | 5 | 3 | | wax (in the Spanish-language printings) | Wax, polish and coatings | 4 | 3 | | finish alterations | Wax, polish and coatings | 3 | 3 | | alterations to the finish | Wax, polish and coatings | 2 | 2 | | varnish | Wax, polish and coatings | 2 | 2 | 4 further objects are named by only one brand and left out of the table on that ground alone, not because the documents disagree about them. The threshold is 2 brands. One sentence is discounted from this table, and here it is > Regularly sweep, dust, damp mop, or vacuum (without beater bar) your floor to remove any particles that could cause abrasions or scratches to appear on your floor. The permitting sentence permits vacuuming and forbids the beater bar inside its own parenthesis. Read for what it says about the bar it agrees with the two prohibitions beside it, so there is no disagreement here to publish. ## Read, and not published The query returned 26 candidates and 2 were set aside after reading. They are listed because a number of contradictions means nothing on its own: a corpus with two and a corpus with twenty and eighteen omissions look identical from outside unless the omissions are named.

That is what makes the rows above matter rather than amuse: on several of them the answer changes with the document, and the document is the thing most households no longer have. - **Whether a publisher meant one sentence to override another.** Where a document resolves its own two answers — in a warranty section, or a chart keyed to the product line — the row says so. Where it does not, this page does not supply the resolution. - **Whether a sign is a rule or a consequence.** “Do not do X” and “doing X voids the warranty” carry the same practical rule and are recorded here under different signs. One row is affected and says so in its own text; the question is open for the rest of the register. - **Anything about the columns not yet read.** Two care columns in the register have not been read, so no contradiction in them could have been found. Their absence from this page is an absence of reading, not of conflict. - **Anything about brands not listed.** This corpus is the documents that could be reached without an account or an email gate, across 33 brands and 10 fields. This reference is compiled and published by **the operator of this site**, a materials-only flooring retailer in the United States. It sells the category it writes about here. No brand pays for inclusion, no brand is ranked, and no ruling on this site is our reading of what a warranty ought to say — every one of them is a sentence the manufacturer published, reproduced with the document it came from. The operator sells flooring materials. It does not sell or arrange fitting, and this site publishes no labour figures, no prices and no offers. Nothing here is legal advice. A warranty is a contract between a buyer and a manufacturer, and the document that governs a particular floor is the one that came with it — not necessarily the one published today. Documents last read August 22, 2026. This release covers 163 documents across 33 brands and 153 product lines. Page views are counted with Google Analytics; the privacy page says what is sent.
