When cleaning your vinyl floors, use a soft bristle broom to remove loose dirt. Damp-mop as needed with clean water and a non-abrasive floor cleaner. Harsh cleaning chemicals should not be used on luxury vinyl flooring.
Additional tips and best practices for preventing damage to your new floors include the following:
- Spills should be cleaned up immediately.
- Wash your floor with a non-abrasive floor cleaner.
- Never push, pull, or drag furniture across vinyl floors. Always lift and carry.
- Heavy furniture or appliances that are not moved often should be equipped with flat, non-staining floor protectors.
- Avoid using a vacuum with a beater bar.
- For spot stain treatment, use a diluted bleach solution that is 1 part bleach with 10 parts water.
For extra protection, we suggest that you invest in high-quality floor mats for your home. Place the mats at entrances and exits to collect and trap corrosive substances that can be tracked in, such as dirt, sand, oil, grit, asphalt, and even driveway sealer.
We hope these suggestions help you keep your new floors looking great for years to come!
