Vinyl flooring is a popular choice for its durability, affordability, and wide range of styles. To keep it looking its best, however, vinyl requires some basic but effective care. We’ve compiled simple yet powerful tips to help you maintain your vinyl floors.

1. Regular Cleaning for a Fresh Look



Maintaining a regular cleaning schedule is key to vinyl floor upkeep. Start by sweeping or vacuuming your vinyl floors regularly to remove dirt, dust, and debris. By keeping the surface clear, you’ll prevent wear and extend the floor’s life.

2. Use a Gentle Mop with Mild Cleaner

Mopping is essential, but using the right tools and products matters. Harsh cleaners can strip the protective layer and affect the color. Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners to keep the surface intact.

Vinyl is durable, but it can still be damaged by weight or sharp items. Place protective pads under furniture legs to avoid dents. Whenever moving furniture, lift rather than drag to protect the surface.
