The method to maintain vinyl flooring

Vinyl wood flooring is chosen by more and more people, and it is cheaper than wood. The floor made of this material is durable, so we need to know how to clean the engineered vinyl plank flooring to keep it beautiful and prolong its life.

Keep the dirt out

The most fundamental step to clean the wooden floor is to keep dust out. You can choose to put a floor mat on your thick vinyl flooring and make sure that your family should use it, which can prevent dust from entering to a certain extent. Although it is difficult for guests to use the floor mat, most people will use it after seeing it. Another way to ensure that the lifeproof luxury vinyl flooring is not dirty is to clean it often, because the residual or accumulated debris and dust will become very difficult to clean in the future. Therefore, it is best to clean every day and put the carpet in a suitable position, which can play a certain role.

Choose the right cleaner

We don't have to use the most expensive cleaner to make the discount vinyl flooring look brand-new. For vinyl floors, one of the best cleaners is apple vinegar. The acidity of apple vinegar helps to remove dirt without leaving traces of soap or wax. When using it, mix a cup of apple vinegar with a gallon of hot water, then clean it with a wet mop, and often rinse the mop with hot water. If you want to disinfect the vinyl wood plank flooring while cleaning, You can also use white vinegar instead of apple cider vinegar. If your floor is particularly dirty, you can add a few drops of liquid dishwashing soap before mopping the floor with soap mixture, and then clean it again with vinegar and water. If you want to add a little luster to your patterned vinyl sheet flooring, you can add a few drops of baby oil into the solution of vinegar and water. If some stains are difficult to clean, you can use baking soda and water to mix and wipe the stains.

For commercial cleaners, there are many choices. Some products made for premium vinyl flooring can be used. Do not use too much water when cleaning vinyl floors. If there is too much water, it will let moisture enter the gaps of the floor, which will reduce the effect of glue. Therefore, it is best not to pour water directly on the floor, and remember that it is best not to leave any soap residue on the cushioned vinyl flooring, which will attract more dust. Moreover, do not use abrasive cleaners or ammonia water. These bad cleaning habits will destroy your floor over time.

Keep your vinyl flooring clean

Vinyl wood flooring is one of the easiest floors to keep clean. As long as you keep it clean, don't soak it excessively, and choose the right products, your vinyl hardwood flooring will be used for a long time. When some stains appear, you should handle them carefully. For stains such as oil, vinegar or lemon, you should remove them immediately, because these stains will change the color of the floor. For inks, tomatoes or blood stains, you can wipe them with diluted alcohol. Some white wine can be used for stains of pens and markers, and then washed with water. For rust on the outdoor vinyl flooring, use anti-rust sponge to clean and rinse with water.
