If you’re considering getting luxury vinyl floors installed in your home, it’s a fantastic choice. Vinyl is a popular flooring choice for many reasons. It’s available in a wide range of styles from a stone appearance to the look of marble. It’s also incredibly durable if you do your part to maintain it.

 

At Brenner Floors, we love showing homeowners some of our beautiful luxury vinyl flooring options. We’ve put together this guide to walk you through just how easy maintaining your luxury vinyl floors will be.

 

1.      Sweep Your Floors Regularly.

Keeping your vinyl floors looking great starts with removing dirt and debris. Sweeping or vacuuming your floors frequently keeps dirt or debris from getting ground into your flooring. A regular soft room will work. Sweep whenever a spill occurs or dirt is tracked in. It’s also a good idea to get the corners with a vacuum cleaner and make a habit of sweeping floors at least once daily.

 

2.      Clean Spills Immediately.

The best approach to spills is to get them off of your vinyl floors immediately. Don’t let sticky liquids spend time on your floor where they can chemically damage the material. Use a damp, warm washcloth to wipe up the spill before it has a chance to dry. In a tricky situation, use a little mild cleaner.

 

3.      Mop Weekly or As Needed.

You don’t have to mop your floors daily, but it’s a good idea to mop regularly. Mop with a gentle cleaner designed for our vinyl flooring.

 

Use warm water and a soft mop. Avoid using harsh detergents or chemicals like bleach and ammonia. Don’t leave your floor drenched as this can damage your linoleum.

 

4.      Protect Your Floor From Furniture.

It’s common to end up with scraps, scratches, and dings from scooted chairs and furniture if you’re not careful. Place soft felt or furniture movers underneath your furniture.

 

That way, when you need to move furniture, your floor won’t be damaged. Avoid dragging furniture across your floor, and use plywood when necessary to protect your flooring. Rolling casters can also damage your floor.
