Installing a vinyl floor is a way to jazz up any place! But did
you know that taking care of it essential in maintaining that “new floor
glimmer”?They don’t only add glamor to your home, they can easily be taken care
of while providing you with a healthy and salubrious home. Getting all excited
already? I really hope so!
Being a floor-cleaning expert, I’m going to explain to you
my vinyl floor cleaning routine and discuss some best practices with you as
well so that you can allow your floor to have that sleek look all the time. Let’s
start.
Firstly, it is important that you use a vacuum cleaner or a
broom to eliminate dust. Why? Because this prevents dirt or dust from
accumulating. Moreover, it makes floor maintenance much easier. Do this daily
for best results!
Use a partially wet mop, neutral detergent and warm water to
clean your vinyl floors at least once per week. It aids in getting rid of dirt
and keeps your floor in great condition. In fact, a lot of water is not
required for floor cleaning. Besides, floors that are lightly-colored usually
require that you clean them more often.
In treating stains, don’t wait until they begin to absorb
into your floors. Clean them immediately! Cleaning around the stain first, then
gradually clean to the center. Afterward, rinse the area and use fresh water to
wipe.
Treating stains that come about from lemon, vinegar or oil
is very simple. Make sure to clean them right away to avoid discoloration of
your vinyl floor’s surface.
Blood, ink and tomato stains may be eliminated by adding
alcohol directly to the stain. However, you should make sure that you dilute
the alcohol first! Leave it for about 10 minutes. Do not scrub. Following that,
use water to rinse the area.
There are several substances that you should never use to
clean your vinyl floors. These are:
-
Steam cleaners
-
Abrasive powders
-
Acetone
-
Solvents
-
Oil products
-
Varnish
These can dampen the look of your floor and have you getting
all upset and miserable. I don’t want that to happen so please keep those in
mind.
Vinyl floors are really easy to clean. They add style to
your home and can create a clean and hygienic atmosphere in your home, as long
as they are properly maintained. Please follow the tips above carefully, and
you’ll see the best results after frequent cleaning.
