Vinyl flooring is a popular choice for its durability, affordability, and wide range of styles. Proper care is essential to maintain its beauty and longevity. We’ve compiled simple yet powerful tips to help you maintain your vinyl floors.

1. Regular Cleaning for a Fresh Look



The first step to great vinyl care is consistent cleaning. Use a broom or vacuum to keep dirt from scratching the surface. Dirt and grit can act like sandpaper, dulling the finish over time.

2. Use a Gentle Mop with Mild Cleaner

Mopping is essential, but using the right tools and products matters. Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive scrubbing tools, as they can damage the finish. Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners to keep the surface intact.



3. Protect Vinyl from Heavy Furniture and Sharp Objects

One way to protect your vinyl is by being mindful of heavy objects and potential scratches. Place protective pads under furniture legs to avoid dents. When shifting heavy items, always lift instead of dragging them to prevent scratches.
