Water may permanently damage the floor. 2. Area rugs are recommended in front of kitchen sinks, at all pivot points and within high-traffic areas. Do not use rugs with solid rubber or vinyl backings. The rugs must be made of a breathable material to prevent moisture entrapment. 3. Use interior and exterior doormats at all entrances to collect dirt and moisture and prevent it from being tracked onto the floor. 4. Protect your floor from direct sunlight.
