Vinyl Care & Maintenance

Vinyl is a great option as it is very easy to care for and will look wonderful for years to come with the minimum of up keep. It has evolved into one of the easiest floor coverings to maintain. It is for this reason that they are usually installed into rooms that require a little extra care such as bathrooms, kitchens and work spaces.

For general maintenance we suggest that regularly sweeping your vinyl floor and occasional mopping are all you need to keep your floor looking great. Spills are no hassle, just wipe with a damp cloth. Several generic cleaning solutions are available on the current market to clean vinyl floors and you will find that most vinyl manufacturers will also make their own vinyl cleaning products with complete instructions.

You will also find a three-part package that is produced for industrial floors that consists of a cleaner, a floor stripper and a refinisher. The refinisher is applied rarely though it does help to restore the original shine to your vinyl floor.

Vinyl flooring is a very durable option though care must be taken as it can be damaged. Be careful not to use chairs and other furniture with sharp edges on the base of the legs or you may rip or scratch the flooring. Place felt or soft plastic pads under each leg to prevent this from happening. We recommend that furniture with rollers be placed on at least 3mm thick protective plastic sheeting.
