Vinyl stains and spills

If a spill occurs, wipe it up with a clean, damp cloth as soon as possible to prevent stains from setting in.

You should also thoroughly clean your floor weekly using a vacuum or dry mop to remove dust, dirt, and hair. You can then wet mop with a manufacturer-recommended cleaning solution.

For tough, oil-based stains, you shouldn’t use any abrasive cleaners. These can scratch your floor.

Preserve the Beauty of Your Tile

Vinyl floors can become dull when a film from improper cleaners is left to dry on the surface. Be sure to rinse and dry floors thoroughly after every clean.

Preventative maintenance can include the use of doormats at entryways to catch dirt from the bottoms of shoes before it enters your home.
