Vinyl tile can be elegant in any room in the house.
Particles tracked in from outdoors can cause grooves in vinyl flooring. Use a dust mop often. Removing grit and dust particles from the floor can help to prevent scratches in the vinyl. The key to keeping a clean vinyl floor is proactive cleaning. A little bit of work on a daily basis can prevent damage that could last for years.
Instructions
1. Use a dust mop to pick up most of the dust and dirt.
2. Use a dust mop often. Removing grit and dust particles from the floor can help to prevent scratches in the vinyl. A vacuum cleaner can be used to pick up particles, but it cannot contain a beater bar. The beater bar can cause indentations in the vinyl flooring.
3. Mop the floor with warm water. Rinse the floor with clean water. If this does not clean the area well then it is time to break out the hard stuff.
4. Create a mixture containing 1 oz. of ammonia or a neutral pH purpose cleaner, such as dish detergent, and 1 gallon of warm water.
5. Mop the floor with warm water. Rinse the floor with clean water.
Tips Warnings
Place a mat inside the door to prevent particles from entering the home. Purchase rugs or mats that are for vinyl floors. Other mats can contain rubber, which can leave marks on your vinyl.
Do not use scrub brushes on the floor. Brushes can cause scratches to the floor.
