Luxury Vinyl Tile Care

A guide on Luxury Vinyl Tile Care

By their very nature, vinyl floors are hardwearing, and water, scratch and stain-resistant, but you’ve invested in luxury vinyl tiles to make your house a home. To ensure they look their best over the years you will need to clean and maintain them properly. 

• Luxury vinyl flooring is simple to clean and many floors will require little more than a regular brush and mop.
• Vacuum regularly or sweep with a soft brush to remove loose debris.
• Wash weekly to get rid of stains. Never soak the floor but use a well wrung out mop or damp cloth to clean the surface instead.
• Place pads (like felt) under furniture, chair and table legs
  
• Avoid rubber on objects resting on your vinyl floor, it can cause staining
  
• Doormats at entrance ways are an excellent way to prevent dirt or dust from being brought inside and make cleaning easier. You can stop about 80% of dirt at the door!

As a result, if you follow the cleaning routine and tips above, there’s little need for any ongoing maintenance of your vinyl floors. Unlike hardwood, you won’t need to apply wax or polish the surface to restore shine. A clean with soap and warm water is all that’s needed to restore vinyl’s original appearance.

Although its hardwearing, vinyl is not indestructible, and it’s essential to take the correct measures to keep your floor in good condition.
