How to Care for Vinyl Flooring
It’s important to care for vinyl flooring to ensure that it stays durable and lasts. Cleaning up dust and dirt with a soft broom will keep your floor shiny and scratch-free. Caring for your vinyl flooring with the proper tools and cleaners will ensure that they last a long time.
Avoid Abrasive Cleaners
Avoid using bleach or abrasive cleaners on your vinyl flooring, as these products can hurt the floor's finish. Instead, use dish soap or apple cider vinegar to clean your vinyl flooring.
Safe Cleaning Tools
It’s important to choose the right tools to clean with, as you don’t want marks on the floor. Using a mop and broom is perfectly fine to clean up any dirt or dust on the vinyl flooring. Avoid using hot steam or abrasive brushes, as they can damage the floor’s finish.
Proper Cleaning Products
Vinyl flooring can be either waxed or non-waxed. Washing each of them is very different. Using dish soap on a non-waxed surface will help to wash away any grease or dirt. For waxed vinyl floors, using apple cider vinegar products will help to remove grime without leaving behind any wax buildup. Finding the right cleaning products will ensure that your vinyl flooring lasts.
Cleaning Up Spills
It’s important to wipe up spills as they happen. This can prevent any stains from forming. If liquid seeps into the seams, it can cause discoloration and staining. Over time, this can weaken the glue bond or create a bad odor.
Avoid Scratches from Furniture
To avoid scratching on the vinyl flooring, use adhesive strips on the bottom of your furniture pieces. These will protect your flooring when you’re cleaning or have to move furniture.
