Routine cleaning goes a long way in keeping vinyl floors fresh. Use a broom or vacuum to keep dirt from scratching the surface. 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. Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive scrubbing tools, as they can damage the finish. Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners to keep the surface intact.



3. Protect Vinyl from Heavy Furniture and Sharp Objects

One way to protect your vinyl is by being mindful of heavy objects and potential scratches. Use furniture pads under tables, chairs, and couches to prevent indentations. When shifting heavy items, always lift instead of dragging them to prevent scratches.
