Vinyl Care & Maintenance
Time & foot traffic can take their toll on your floors. With a proper cleaning routine and preventative maintenance, you can keep your luxury vinyl looking as beautiful and inviting as the day it was installed. This guide is full of tips to make it easier for you to clean & care for your stylish new vinyl flooring. You should also refer to the guidelines provided by the manufacturer of your new floors.
Basic Care
Any floor needs regular maintenance to maintain its good looks and performance:
- Consistency is key – be sure to clean your floors at least weekly, or daily in high-traffic areas
- Sweep or vacuum to remove dirt and dust – remove the beater bar if vacuuming
- Waterproof vinyl floors can be mopped, but should also be thoroughly dried with a dry mop or towel afterward
Spills
Spills happen, so use these tips to prevent damage:
- Wipe up any spills or spots immediately with a clean cloth
- You can use a gentle cleaning solution as recommended by your manufacturer
- Avoid the use of abrasive cleaners or scrubbing tools, as these can corrode your floors
Accidents Happen
If you prioritize prevention, you can minimize their occurrence:
- Place non-staining mats or rugs at all entrances to catch dirt from shoes
- Avoid mats with rubber backing, as these can damage many types of flooring, including vinyl
- Attach felt pads to furniture legs to avoid dents
