Luxury vinyl flooring is easy to maintain and cleaning sheet vinyl is much easier as compared to others. Sheet vinyl is produced as a thin, flexible roll or tile that has a clear protective coating to give it extra protection.
Luxury vinyl flooring has more and thicker layers which also include the clear top-coat layer, a design layer with the printed image, a layer of cushion foam, a fiberglass backing layer, and a rigid PVC backing layer that helps in adding strength and rigidity.
1. Use Protective Mats
With the help of a good quality mat, you can use it to trap dirt, sand, and other various other substances such as oil because it can track onto your floor. These mats also help in protecting your flooring from any type of premature wear.
Mats should be used at heavy pivot locations, such as in front of your kitchen sink or stove. Make sure not to place the mats directly on top of the resilient floors if you want to avoid possible discoloration.
2. Use Appliance Pads for Protection
It is important to use furniture legs that have a large surface, and non-staining floor protectors. You must replace small and narrow glides with smooth and flat guides because they are in full contact with the floor. Heavy furniture or appliances that always remain in one position should be equipped with flat, non-staining composition furniture that has casters or cups of appropriate size.
3. Mop Away the Soil
You just need to dip a mop into the cleaning solution that is not very harsh for the floors and wring out most of the moisture so that they remain clean and moisture-free. Make sure to use a system that can remove excess moisture without wringing. It is important to make sure that your mop is not dripping, just damp otherwise it will cause more harm than just cleaning the floor.
You can start the process of cleaning by starting from one corner of the room. While doing that, you must leave yourself an exit point. Make sure to rinse and wring your mop frequently to avoid transferring dirt from the mop to the floor.
CONCLUSION
It is very important to take care of your luxury vinyl flooring because it is a bit delicate. But you don’t have to worry about the process because the whole process of cleaning and maintaining vinyl flooring is super easy.
