Vinyl flooring is an affordable, durable, versatile floor covering that comes in a wide variety of styles and colors. Because vinyl is more flexible it’s more comfortable to stand on for extended periods of time and also absorbs some noise, making foot traffic quieter. Vinyl is highly resistant to both dirt and moisture making it a suitable floor for any space in your home, including kitchen and bathrooms.
There are four types of vinyl.
Remove dust, sand and grit particles by sweeping, vacuuming or dust mopping
Rinse the floor thoroughly with fresh water and mild vinyl cleaners recommended by the manufacturer
Never use abrasive cleaners, soaps, paste waxes, or solvents on your vinyl floor
Even though waterproof, floors should never be flooded with water or be allowed to have standing water for long periods of time
Protect the floors from dirt and grit that can be tracked in by using walk off mats at every entrance
