How to care for your vinyl flooring: the dos and don’ts
Vinyl flooring is extremely durable and handles plenty of everyday wear, but these simple habits will keep it looking its best for as long as possible:
Cleaning your vinyl flooring:
- Wipe up spills as soon as they happen. Spills left on the floor can cause yellowing or stains.
- Give your floors a thorough clean at least once a week to remove dirt and grime that can damage and stain them. Vacuum or sweep first to lift loose dirt, then follow with a damp mop and a suitable cleaner.
- Lift stubborn dirt by scrubbing gently with a non-abrasive cloth or sponge and a little cleaning detergent.
- Choose soft, natural cleaners, and avoid oil-based or abrasive products.
- Skip the wax and polish. Vinyl is non-porous, so wax or polish sits on the surface, collects dust and can discolour or yellow the floor over time.

Preventative care for your vinyl flooring
- Place protective pads under the feet of heavy furniture, choosing felt rather than rubber, which can stain.
- Put doormats at entrances to catch loose dirt before it comes inside. Gritty sand is bad news for any floor, causing scratches and dullness.
- Keep heaters and fireplace ash away from vinyl floors, as continuous heat can damage them.
- Take great care when moving heavy furniture to avoid scuffs or tears. Laying plywood panels on the floor makes moving heavy pieces much safer.
