Best Rooms for Vinyl

Durable and easy to care, vinyl flooring is a practical, affordable floor covering that’s continually improving in looks and performance. Vinyl floors can be install in any room, but are most suited for areas with high traffic or high incidence of spills, such as kitchens, entryways, bathrooms and basements.

Caring for vinyl floors requires little more than vacuuming regularly and damp mopping with sudsy water to remove grime and keep colors bright. Vinyl’s thick wear layer protects the image layer and adds extended durability and scratch resistance. With proper care, your vinyl floor can look like new for many years.

PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE

 

Preventative Care for Vinyl Flooring

  1. Read the warranty. No one knows how to care for a luxury vinyl floor better than the people who made it, so follow the manufacturer’s recommendations.
  2. Sweep or vacuum several times a week or more if conditions warrant. Abrasive dirt and grit tracked in may dull the finish over time in high-traffic areas.
  3. Use protective mats both inside and outside exterior entrances to catch dirt, debris, ice and snow.
  4. Avoid rubber-backed mats that can discolor floors, unless mats are specifcally warranted as colorfast.
  5. Beater brushes on vacuum cleaners are not recommended because they may scratch the finish.
  6. Use felt protectors or heavy cardboard when moving furniture or appliances.
  7. Use non-staining nylon cups or glides under furniture legs to avoid permanent indentations.
  8. A mop and warm water is usually be enough for simple cleanup.
  9. Do not let a spill sit. Liquids juices, red wine or pet urine can stain if left unattended.
  10. Never use abrasive cleaning tools, cleaners or compounds.
SPILL AND STAIN REMOVAL

 

Preventative Care for Vinyl Flooring

Caring for luxury vinyl tile floors is practically effortless. For routine cleaning, remove loose debris with a soft bristle broom, microfiber mop or vacuum with a soft brush or wood floor attachment.

For occasional thorough cleaning, use a mop dampened with floor cleaner specifically formulated for luxury vinyl tile. For spot cleaning, use a damp cloth or sponge with a recommended cleaner.

Spills should always be cleaned up immediately to avoid any residue or spots and stains. Common products such as nail polish, red wine and permanent markers can cause discoloration, so address any accidents right away.
