With its stylish appearance and resilient surface, vinyl flooring is an excellent option for both homes and businesses. Proper care is essential to maintain its beauty and longevity. We’ve compiled simple yet powerful tips to help you maintain your vinyl floors.

2. Use a Gentle Mop with Mild Cleaner

For deep cleaning, use a mild cleaner and a soft mop to prevent damage. Harsh cleaners can strip the protective layer and affect the color. Look for a cleaner labeled safe for vinyl to maintain its integrity.
