Ten Top Tips for Maintaining
and Cleaning Vinyl Floors
WHEN you order your free
vinyl flooring samples, you
will also want to know all
about maintaining and
cleaning this type of floor.
After all, you are probably
in need of a low-
maintenance floor covering.
Who wants to add to their
cleaning chores?

Luckily maintaining and cleaning vinyl floors shouldn't be too
complicated, provided that you keep a few simple tips in mind.

If you are installing a brand like Vesdura (get free samples here while
stocks last), you get planks that look like wood, without the upkeep.

It is true that you won't be adding the same value to your home as
you would with real hardwood, but vinyl has become quite popular for
folks with a limited budget.

If you follow the installation guidelines closely and take good care of
your floor, the planks can give you good service over many years.



10 Top Tips for Maintaining
and Cleaning Vinyl Floors

1. For the most part,
vinyl flooring can simply be
swept or vacuumed
regularly.

2. Spills should be wiped
clean with a damp cloth as
soon as possible. Never
leave spills on the floor for
an extended period, as this
could lead to warping.

3. How to clean vinyl
floors when more than a quick sweep is necessary? There are
approved cleaning products made for this purpose. The floor should
never be wet washed with soapy water or abrasive cleaners. Always
check with the manufacturer or supplier to ensure that you choose a
suitable product. A mistake here may void the valuable warranty of
your vinyl flooring installation.

4. Try to use blinds or drapes to protect your floor during the hours
of direct sunlight. The sun may cause fading and damage - not just in



the case of vinyl, but even with laminates, bamboo or engineered
wood flooring.

5. To catch grit or grime, you can place area rugs in doorways.
Make sure these don't come with a rubber backing that can damage
or discolor your floor.

6. It may be a good idea
to steer clear of spiked
heels and untrimmed pet
nails. These could damage
a floating vinyl floor
installation.

7. It is safer to use felt
pads underneath furniture
feet as an extra measure of
protection.

8. When you have to
move furniture, be sure to
get help with picking it up and carrying it, rather than dragging heavy
stuff over the floor. You can also try placing a rug underneath to
assist with moving a heavy piece. Make sure that there is no grit
under the rug that can scratch the floor in the process of moving
furniture.



9. Ask your supplier
about a product that can
take care of any scuff
marks.

10. Remember that you
should never wax your
floor.

When purchasing your
flooring planks, keep in
mind that section
replacement is possible
with these floating floors.
You may take care of all of
the above, but still have a more serious mishap down the line. If you
have stored away a carton or two with planks from the same batch,
you can simply replace the damaged area.

If you are careful with maintaining and cleaning your vinyl floors, they
may reward you smooth, elegant, wood-simulating good looks for
years to come...
