Known for its versatility and low maintenance, vinyl flooring is a favorite for many homeowners. Although it's low-maintenance, a few care steps will keep your vinyl flooring looking new for years. Explore our guide on vinyl floor care to protect your investment.

1. Regular Cleaning for a Fresh Look



Maintaining a regular cleaning schedule is key to vinyl floor upkeep. 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

When mopping vinyl, always use a soft mop and a gentle cleaner designed for vinyl surfaces. Steer clear of abrasive cleaners and opt for mild solutions. 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. Use furniture pads under tables, chairs, and couches to prevent indentations. When shifting heavy items, always lift instead of dragging them to prevent scratches.
