Vinyl Floor Cleaning Tips:
- Remove loose dirt with a soft bristle broom.
- Clean with a damp mop for everyday care.
- Wash the floor occasionally with a gentle (non-abrasive) floor cleaner – always follow cleaning product instructions and adhere to cautions before use.
- Do not use detergents, abrasive cleaners or “mop and shine” products. These may leave a dull film on your Flooring.
- When using a vacuum cleaner, disengage the beater bar or use the “bare floor” setting to avoid damaging your Flooring.
To Prevent Scuffs When Moving Furniture
- Make sure furniture legs are smooth and won’t mar your Vinyl floors.
- Replace any small, narrow, metal, or dome-shaped glides with smooth protectors that are in flat contact with the floor.
- Place heavy-duty furniture casters or cups at the contact points of furniture or appliances you don’t often move.
Things that Won’t Wipe Up
Vinyl Flooring has a protective film. But there’s some stuff that just won’t come off easily. Glue, asphalt, chewing gum, oil, grease, candle wax and tar are hard to remove. Follow these simple steps to get stubborn stains off your Vinyl Flooring.
- Carefully remove excess residue with your fingernail.
- Clean with Vinyl Flooring cleaner using a nonabrasive white scrubbing pad.
- Rub lightly with odourless mineral spirits or isopropyl alcohol.
