Floor squeaks are often a temporary condition common to
new homes. Scratches, gouges, heel marks and other visible
surface defects identified at the New Home Orientation will be
repaired. We are not responsible for surface defects identified

Care Tips
• If carpet becomes wet, you should pull back the wet
carpet from the tack strip.
• The cleaning residue on adjacent flooring can track onto
carpeting and act as an adhesive for dirt, creating a
premature wear pattern. Make sure to rinse adjacent
laminate or tile flooring after cleaning.
• Carpeting is relatively easy to care for and a regular
schedule of vacuuming will go far in maintaining the
original appearance for many years. Prompt removal of
spots and stains, and regular removal of soil and dirt is
recommended. For best results, follow the advice
supplied by the manufacturer of the carpet to help
maintain the life of the carpet.
• Hardwood floors are very susceptible to changes in air
humidity and may require installation of a humidity control
device. Please refer to the care and maintenance
instructions provided by the hardwood manufacturer
which has been included in your closing packet.
• Do not allow water to stand on wood flooring.
• Keep your pet’s nails trimmed to avoid damage to the
finish of your hardwood flooring.
• Remove high heeled shoes prior to walking on any
hardwood flooring.
• The grout used between ceramic tiles can be cleaned
using a brush and mild cleaner.
• Grout sealers are available to make grout more resistant
to stains. These products can be purchased at home care
centers.
