Maintaining PVC floors is easy, as long as you use the right techniques and products. Whether you have a PVC floor in your home, office, or hospitality business; proper maintenance ensures that your floor not only lasts longer but also retains its beautiful appearance. With these tips from TREU, your floor will stay clean, scratch-free, and stylish for years.
1. PVC floor maintenance starts with removing dust and dirt
Prevent scratches by removing dust and sand before mopping. Use a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush attachment or a static dust mop. This is the first step in effective PVC floor maintenance.
2. Mopping with the right cleaner
Always use lukewarm water and avoid excessive moisture. For the best result:
- Add 50 ml of cleaning vinegar to 5 liters of water;
- Or choose a special PVC cleaner from Dr. Schutz.
Avoid dish soap, as it leaves a sticky film on the floor.
3. Mopping technique: mop with the grain
Use a microfiber mop and move in the direction of the floor’s grain. Rinse regularly and prevent puddles of water from being left behind.
4. Prevent damage: tips for scratch-free PVC
Proper PVC floor maintenance also includes precautionary measures. Some smart tips:
- Use felt pads under furniture;
- Use a good doormat to keep dirt and sand out;
- Remove spilled liquids quickly to prevent stains.
