Jakarta: Vinyl flooring has become a trend in recent years. Vinyl flooring is a different flooring product from ceramic. Vinyl is made up of several different layers sandwiched together to form a floor covering.

Vinyl has two types, namely Luxury Vinyl Tiles (LVT) and vinyl roll. Both LVT and vinyl roll are made of the same material, but are made differently to produce different effects. For example, the plank format is ideal for imitating natural wood.

While it can be nice to have vinyl floors at home, you also have to take care of the floors. Proper care of this vinyl floor not only extends its life, but also keeps it like new.

1. Use the right floor cleaning tools

Before you clean the floor, make sure the cleaning tool you use is safe and doesn’t leave marks on the floor. Although this floor is tough, the use of hot steam and a rough brush can cause damage to the finish.

Therefore you need to consider the type of material, handle design, and the ideal fiber selection mechanism. And don’t use spray and wet mops for daily cleaning.

The recommendation we can give is to choose a cleaning tool with synthetic materials and classic cotton, because that’s the best. Cotton has a high absorbency, while synthetic fabrics have a soft rubbing power.

      2.  Use a mild detergent

Vinyl floors can be waxed or unwaxed. Therefore washing each different approach.

There are cleaners specifically designed for non-waxed vinyl floors, as directed in the case. For example, there are commercial products that match the type of floor.

Surfaces that are not covered with wax require you to use dish soap which works perfectly in removing grease and dirt. However, it helps to do it once to prevent wear on the floor.

It is important to avoid bleach or abrasive cleaners for vinyl floors. Abrasive cleaners tend to stain the glossy finish of your floor.

3. adjust gently

Cleanliness in the house is the main thing for the health of the body. It is important to remove dirt and dust frequently.

You can do this by sweeping or using a vacuum cleaner. If sweeping on vinyl floors you should use a gentle sweep on vinyl floors every night after finishing homework.

You should also make sure to wipe up spills when they occur. With this practice, you won’t have to deal with the blemishes that have formed later. Any liquid can seep into the seams causing discoloration of the floor. It could also be due to glue or a bad smell depending on the liquid spilled.

4. then now it’s heavy on the floor

Heavy furniture can create significant dents when dragged across the floor. Therefore, to prevent this from happening, consider installing furniture with floor protectors.

The use of felt tips can also solve the problem of chairs and dining tables. To make it easier for you to move heavy items on a vinyl floor, consider helping to place a piece of plywood that will push or propel the item into the ideal position.
