Vinyl Floor Maintenance Tips

Here are some points to follow after your new vinyl floor has been installed.

• Keep traffic minimal during the first 24-48 hours after your floor is installed. This is to allow the adhesive to cure properly.
  

• If your floor has seams, avoid stepping on the seam sealer for at least 24 hours so the sealer has time to dry properly.

• Do not scrub, or wash your newly installed vinyl floor for a minimum of 3 days after the installation. If you have to clean, do a spot clean, and avoid all seam areas as much as possible.
  

• When moving heavy furniture, or appliances across your vinyl floor, always place wood, or hardboard down to use as a runway. Never move the object directly on the vinyl surface.

• If the room your new vinyl floor is installed in has direct exposure to sunlight, try to protect your floor from fading by using blinds, shades, or curtains during peak sunlight hours. ·

• Sweep your floor regularly to regularly to remove loose dirt and other dry particles.

• Don't put any heavy objects on your floor for 24-48 hours. This allows the adhesive time to cure and helps avoid heavy objects from displacing the adhesive and causing permanent depressions in your new vinyl floor.
