Vinyl Flooring – How to Maintain Its Cleanliness

Here are some tips to help you maintain the cleanliness of your vinyl flooring.

KEEP YOUR VINYL FLOORS LOOKING AND FEELING CLEAN AT ALL TIMES

Use a doormat to keep out dirt

The first step to cleaning dust and dirt off of your vinyl floors is to make sure that these particles don’t even touch your vinyl floorings. One of the simplest ways to do this is to have a doormat right outside the room, or placed right outside your home, so that you, your family, or your guests will have to wipe off their feet prior to entering your house.

The small particles can act as grit like that of sandpaper scraping over your beautiful floors. Over time, and if left untouched, all those dust and dirt will provide scratches, or even dents to the flooring; so make sure that does not happen by purchasing a trusty doormat.

Clean hair spray residue with a little shampoo

The chemicals found in hair spray can damage your vinyl floors. So if you’re an avid user of this product, you may want to watch your usage on this item when you’re near your vinyl floorings. But do not fret, as you can just mop away the residue from the hair spray off of your nice floors by mopping it with shampoo.

Yes, the shampoo that you use for making sure that your hair is clean and bouncy at all times will also work against the chemicals found in hair spray. Hey, if shampoo works for your hair, then it will work on your floors as well.

Use low-impact cleaning methods

It is very tempting to use quick solutions and use heavy-duty products to clean your vinyl flooring. The thing is, these methods can sometimes cause more harm than good to your floors. Hence, make use of the mildest methods when cleaning your floorings. Mop, wipe, and sweeping may look like it doesn’t do much but it does help a lot in protecting your flooring investment.

For dirt that is a bit hard to get when using a broom or a vacuum cleaner, use a mop that is dampened with warm water. Do not use cold water for this task as it will harm the material of your floors.

Keeping your vinyl floors clean at all times can brighten any room.
