Cleaning your new floor, aftercare and maintenance.

Vinyl Flooring


Lets start with our more popular type of flooring which is vinyl.........


Now everything is looking fantastic after the installation it is imperative that you stick to the manufacturers guidelines and listen to what we tell you!

Avoid steam cleaners, even though your floor is as close to waterproof as it can be it is the temperature that these steam cleaners produce that has the potential to cause issues as it can cause the adhesive to go back to it's original state and therefore cause the vinyl to move. Even with click systems it can cause the plank to misshape and have the potential to come out of it's locking system.


Also avoid cleaners with bleaching agents in as these can cause corrosion with regular use and affect the protective wear layer. We recommend using reputable brands such as Dr Schutz as these come with a kit consisting of a general floor cleaner for everyday use, a floor stripper to strip away stubborn dirt, adhesive and grime (once a year would suffice) and also a sealer recommended for use after the stripper so you can put a protective seal back on the floor. If you stick to with this advice and kit then nothing will go wrong.



These kits are available to purchase instore and are very cost affective as they last a long time. Any further cleaning or maintenance advice please feel free to ask our staff.
