Routine cleaning goes a long way in keeping vinyl floors fresh. Start by sweeping or vacuuming your vinyl floors regularly to remove dirt, dust, and debris. By keeping the surface clear, you’ll prevent wear and extend the floor’s life.

When mopping vinyl, always use a soft mop and a gentle cleaner designed for vinyl surfaces. Harsh cleaners can strip the protective layer and affect the color. Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners to keep the surface intact.
