Cleaning Spills and Stains

As careful as we try to be, spills are inevitable. Be sure to clean up spills quickly with a cloth and non-abrasive cleaner.

  • Promptly clean spills with a towel or cloth
  • Use a soft bristle broom for dry spills, dirt and debris
  • Clean your vinyl floors with vinyl flooring cleaners only
  • Non-abrasive pads are best for scrubbing
  • Never use ammonia or bleach to clean vinyl flooring
  • Review manufacturer guidelines prior to using a steam mop

Maintain Your Vinyl Flooring

Taking the time to routinely care for your vinyl flooring will not only help keep them looking new longer, it will also aid in protecting them from long-term damage.

  • Use a damp mop for general cleaning
  • Do not use a vacuum with a beater bar
  • Remove shoes when entering to keep floors clean

Protect Luxury Vinyl Floors

While the strong, urethane topcoat protects vinyl flooring from many things, you can help luxury vinyl perform at its best by following a few simple steps.

  • Place mats in entryways to help keep dirt and debris from scratching the vinyl floors
  • Place floor protecting pads on all furniture to help prevent damage to the floors
  • Avoid sliding furniture across vinyl floors
  • Clean up spills quickly to minimize the chance of stains
