Vinyl & Resilient Care & Cleaning
Durable and attractive, vinyl and resilient flooring is more practical than ever. Immediately after installation, follow these special instructions.
- Maintain room temperature at a constant 65ºF for 48 hours after installation to ensure proper curing and bonding.
- Avoid washing or scrubbing for five days after installation to allow adhesive to dry and set (although it’s perfectly fine to use a damp cloth to very gently wipe off minor markings or manufacturer’s logo).
- Allow seams to seal (vinyl only) for eight hours to ensure proper bonding and a seamless finish.
To keep it vinyl and resilient looking shiny-bright, follow these everyday DOs and DON’Ts.
- DO place a welcome mat or rug made of a natural, colorfast material at each entry to prevent tracked-in dirt and trap excess moisture.
- DON’T use oil soap cleansers or “clean and shine” products since they can leave a dulling film.
- DO prevent deep indentations by using felt protectors on furniture legs.
- DON’T leave sand, dirt and dust to accumulate; instead, dry mop or wipe floors with a damp cloth. Never use a vacuum beater bar, which can permanently mar this type of flooring.
- DO wipe up spills and wetness immediately with a soft, dry cloth. For dried spills, use a made-for-resilient floor cleaner.
- DON’T use harsh or abrasive cleaners, steel wool or kitchen scrubbies.
- DO clean floors using a made-for-resilient floor cleaner. For extra shine, use a polish-and-shine product made especially for resilients.
