With so many advantages towards luxury vinyl flooring for the home, from styles to the low-cost benefits, it is surprising to learn that the other attractive quality is the low area of maintenance required to keep the floor in pristine condition.
With anti-scratch, anti-stain and moisture resistance properties people have a feeling of comfort towards vinyl, but little touches of care with your floor can ensure it keeps a healthier life and look.
Stains
Cleaning flooring, such as Quick-Step luxury vinyl, is not a lengthy process that takes up an entire day. It also does not require different chemicals to regain its original appearance.
When it comes to liquids such as juice or alcohol or light stains, a sponge dipped in warm soapy water or washing-up liquid will effectively remove any stain. Be sure to place on the area for no more than 15 minutes.
More stubborn, harder to shift stains, such as sauces or ink-based products, will require a bit more attention in cleaning by mixing warm water and bicarbonate soda to form a paste substance. This paste would then be placed onto the area and slowly rubbed until the stain is no longer visible and all trace is gone.
Mopping
Quick-Step Luxury vinyl flooring tends to block out any leakage between tiles and boards when fitted correctly, making it incredibly easy to clean with a simple mop or sponge-based cleaning tool.
By using a simple floor cleaning solution or using vinegar or washing up liquid mixed with hot water, you will have no problem in effectively removing any deep stain that is problematic. Be sure to wring the mop after each section, making sure not to drench your floor with more water than required.
Your floor can receive damage from too much water, which will cause discolouration or warping.
Resisting Scratches and Scuffs
If deep scratches do occur, it’s useful to know that individual planks and tiles can be easily replaced without taking up the entire floor. Scratches in vinyl can be replaced inexpensively but be sure that all dirt on the floor has been cleaned away before sanding down the vinyl without damaging the finish.
Once the scratch has been thinned out, use dish detergent and water to clean away any dust from the sandpaper. Following this, you could circle buff with a non-rubber containing wax (check out recommended brands for the flooring) with a clean rag that will give the floor a fine finish. The texture should also feel consistent with other surrounding boards.
