• Regular Cleaning

  1. Sweep or Vacuum: Regularly sweep or vacuum to remove dirt and debris. Use a vacuum without a beater bar to avoid scratching the surface.
  2. Damp Mop: Use a damp mop with a mild cleaner specifically designed for vinyl flooring. Avoid using excessive water as it can seep into the seams and cause damage.

  Preventive Measures

  1. Use Mats: Place mats at entryways to reduce the amount of dirt and moisture tracked onto the floor.
  2. Furniture Pads: Use felt pads under furniture legs to prevent scratches and dents.
  3. Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, wax, or polish as they can damage the finish.

  Dealing with Spills and Stains

  1. Wipe Spills Immediately: Clean up spills as soon as they occur to prevent staining.
  2. Stubborn Stains: For tougher stains, use a soft cloth with a mild cleaner. Avoid using steel wool or abrasive pads.

  Long-Term Care

  1. Protect from Sunlight: Use curtains or blinds to protect the flooring from prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause fading.
  2. Regular Inspections: Periodically check for any signs of wear or damage and address them promptly to prevent further issues.

  Following these tips will help maintain the beauty and durability of your flooring.
