Cleaning and maintaining vinyl flooring is relatively hassle free and requires a small amount of regular upkeep. In this section, we show you exactly how to clean vinyl with expert advice thrown in for good measure! Follow these hints and tips to keep your floor looking its best: Loose debris, dust and dirt should be removed from vinyl flooring regularly. This can be done using a soft brush or with gentle vacuuming. Vinyl flooring is non-absorbent which means any liquids will sit on the surface in puddles. This can damage the floor if left for long periods of time and also presents potential slip hazards to you and your family. Wipe spillages immediately and use a well wrung out mop or damp cloth to wash the surface; ensuring it dries out completely before walking on it again. Warm water and a light soap will usually be enough to remove stains but products like bicarbonate of soda can also be handy on a tough stain.

Which cleaning products are safe to use with vinyl flooring?

  • Not all chemicals will be suitable for use on vinyl floors and you should always read the label before applying to your floors.
  • You should also make sure products are pet and child-safe if using in family homes, and always opt for natural ingredients wherever possible.
  • Never use abrasive scourers on vinyl floors as this can cause permanent damage to the surface.

    SPC is relatively low maintenance, but we’ve put together some expert vinyl care tips to help you maintain your flooring. While it should be resistant to most of the marks and indentations caused by heavy furniture, you still need to proceed with caution.

    • Vinyl flooring is most likely to get damaged just after installation. Before you begin moving your furniture into the room, make sure you remove all debris, then sweep and vacuum the flooring to get rid of any dust leftover from the installation.
    • Keep sharp objects away from the surface and avoid sliding or dragging anything across it. Messy floors and debris can cause damage to vinyl over long periods of time, so make sure the surface is cleaned regularly.
    • Ensure all furniture legs are smooth and won’t mark your vinyl and replace any narrow, glass or dome shaped glides with smooth protectors to ensure your vinyl remains intact when it comes into contact with the furniture.
    • Fit felt covers to casters and feet for added cushioning that will protect the surface of your vinyl.
    • Never push, pull or drag heavy furniture across your vinyl flooring as this can mark, scratch and damage the surface. Instead, always lift or wheel in any sofas, tables or chairs, as this will prevent scuffing and other marks from occurring.
