Cleaning and Care
The best way to clean vinyl floors is to start by picking up loose dirt. While it may not seem
like dirt can cause issues on your vinyl, small rocks or pieces of dirt that are stuck in your
shoes can be sharp. Over time, they can scratch the surface, which is why picking up dirt is
an excellent place to start.
To remove dirt, you can sweep or vacuum. Be sure to turn your beater bar off on your
vacuum to prevent damages. We recommend that you do this at least once a week. If you
have a dirt driveway, pets, or kids, you may need to sweep or vacuum more often. One of
the best cleansers for vinyl flooring is apple cider vinegar. The acidity in the vinegar helps
remove dirt and grime without leaving a buildup of soap or wax. Simply mix one cup of cider
vinegar with a gallon of hot water and use a damp mop to clean, rinsing the mop frequently with
hot water.
Be sure to use a mop that does NOT have tough bristles. These bristles can damage the
protective layer on your vinyl floors. Mops that are not abrasive are the best option to use
when cleaning and caring for vinyl.
Do NOT
1.) Do NOT leave spills on the floors to air dry. Always wipe up spills as soon as they
occur to prevent any damage.
2.) Do NOT use a vacuum with the beater bar turned on. Always turn the beater bar off.
3.) Don’t scrub vinyl floors with steel wool to remove stains.
4.) Do NOT pull heavy furniture across your floors when moving. Use furniture pads to
prevent scratches and dents, and always lift furniture rather than sliding, which can
cause scuff marks or dents.
