Vinyl Care and Maintenance


Vinyl floors are easy to maintain and are extremely resistant to stains and wear.

  • Frequently sweep, dust mop or vacuum your floor to remove loose dirt or debris which can cause scratches.
  • Do not use soap-based detergents, abrasive cleaners, wax or "mop and shine" products - they may leave a dull shine on your floor.
  • Never use a steam cleaner, scouring powder products or steel wool.
  • Wipe up spills with a damp cloth of water as soon as possible and thoroughly dry with a clean cloth.
  • No-wax floors should be cleaned with an ammonia-based cleaner. Most manufacturers make their own line of cleaning products.
  • Vinyl floors without no-wax finish should be cleaned the same way, but will also require a vinyl floor finish as a protective coating applied several times a year.
  • Spot clean your floor as needed with a manufacturer-recommended cleaner.
  • Place area rugs or non-rubber backed floor mats in high-traffic areas to catch excess soiling.
