After installation
- Wait at least 24 hours or other time recommended by us before cleaning your newly installed vinyl flooring.
- Cover your entryways with mats to reduce the amount of dirt, sand and oil that could be tracked in. Avoid mats that have a rubber backing as this may cause damage or discolor your flooring.
- Take your shoes off at the door! Be sure to wear slippers or socks. Your feet have oil on them that will transfer onto the floor.
- Use floor protectors made of hard plastic or felt on your leg furniture.
Routine Care
- Vacuum regularly to remove loose dirt. Use a vacuum without a beater bar to avoid scratching your floor.
- When further cleaning is needed, use a mop with warm water. Use water by itself or use cleaning products for vinyl floors. It should be a cleaner that rinses clean. Many cleaners can leave behind a sticky residue that will act like a dirt magnet and allow dirt to build up on your flooring.
- Use non-abrasive cleansers or scrubbing pads on your resilient floor to avoid scratches.
- To prevent stains, wipe up spills immediately.
