Simple Maintenance Tips for Keeping Your Resilient Flooring Like New

Routine Care

• Vacuum or sweep regularly to remove loose dirt. Use a vacuum without a beater bar to avoid scratching your floor.
  
• When further cleaning is needed, use a mop with warm water. Use water by itself or use a manufacturer-recommended cleaning product. It should be a cleaner that rinses clean. Many cleaners can leave behind a sticky residue that will act like a dirt magnet and allow dirt to build up on your flooring.
  
• Use non-abrasive cleansers or scrubbing pads on your resilient floor to avoid scratches.
  
• To prevent stains, wipe up spills immediately.
  
• Use a non-abrasive scrubbing pad for stubborn stains that are caused by these: Mustard, ink, permanent marker, asphalt, shoe polish, mold, mildew or hair dye.
• If your floor begins to look dull, try cleaning it with 1 tablespoon clear ammonia mixed with 1 quart of warm water. If that doesn’t work, use the manufacturer’s recommended solution to return it to its original shine.
• If a seam becomes exposed or if there is a cut in the vinyl, cover it to prevent dirt and further damage, then call a flooring professional to fix it.
