Preventative maintenance
Sweep, dry mop, and vacuum your vinyl flooring frequently. If you do vacuum, be sure not to use a machine with a beater bar, as this can scuff your floors. If your vinyl floors ever need a deeper clean, use only manufacturer-approved cleaning solutions. Use entry mats to keep dirt off your flooring and consider placing heavy furniture on protective mats.
Dealing with stains and spills
Vinyl is one of the simplest flooring solutions when it comes to dealing with messes. In most cases, all you need to do is mop up any spills or use a clean cloth. If your floors are sticky, you can follow up with a manufacturer-approved floor cleaner. If you encounter more difficult messes such as nail polish, oil, wax, or market, check with your manufacturer's guidelines for approved stain removal tips.
