CONTINUOUS MAINTENANCE OF VINYL FLOORS

The first thing you need to do is keep away the things that can damage you. This will be achieved by placing a mat on the door, thus keep out of the house abrasive elements such as soil, remains and small stones that stick to the shoes.

You should make sure that you and your guests shake your feet before entering the house or floor with vinyl flooring. Even if you consider it viable, you can adopt the habit of taking off your shoes before entering. If you’ve just done your housing renovation in Williamsburg – Toano – Hampton Roads, choose to take good care of it from the start.

A regular task is to sweep or vacuum the floor daily or when you notice that there is dust or soil accumulated. If you let too much time go by without doing this work, it could cause the floor to scratch. If anything ever spills, dry it and clean it immediately.

Soil and dust act as abrasive elements that will remove the shine from your vinyl floor, so be sure to sweep or vacuum the surface daily. This will prevent particle accumulation. If you use a broom, make sure it’s dry. And when you do this don’t forget the areas below the furniture, corners and under the cabinets.

CLEANSER FOR DAY TO DAY

Use a gentle cleanser, such as a simple vinegar solution, to wash the floor daily. Using this type of cleaner will prevent damage to the material and look like new all the time.

The vinegar cleaner is a simple solution, mix a cup of apple cider vinegar in a gallon of hot water. Then take a mop, moisten it and pass it on the floor. This step is very effective. When the cleaner drys out, the smell of vinegar will soon go away,

Always vacuum first or pass a dry med on the floor to remove dust before cleaning.

If you don’t lean towards vinegar, you can choose a commercial floor cleaner. Note that vinyl is very sensitive, so be sure to buy the one that is correct, specific to that surface.

Avoid scratches and chafing by following these tips. When moving heavy things on this type of floor you should place a sheet of plywood on the floor and walk on it to avoid marks. Remember to place pieces of felt under the furniture, on the legs and everything you rub with the floor.
