With its stylish appearance and resilient surface, vinyl flooring is an excellent option for both homes and businesses. 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



The first step to great vinyl care is consistent cleaning. Start by sweeping or vacuuming your vinyl floors regularly to remove dirt, dust, and debris. Dirt and grit can act like sandpaper, dulling the finish over time.

2. Use a Gentle Mop with Mild Cleaner

For deep cleaning, use a mild cleaner and a soft mop to prevent damage. Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive scrubbing tools, as they can damage the finish. Look for a cleaner labeled safe for vinyl to maintain its integrity.



3. Protect Vinyl from Heavy Furniture and Sharp Objects

Heavy furniture and sharp objects can dent or scratch vinyl flooring. Use furniture pads under tables, chairs, and couches to prevent indentations. Whenever moving furniture, lift rather than drag to protect the surface.
