How to clean and maintain Vinyl Flooring

admin — Thu, 13 Jul 2023 09:22:55 +0000

Vinyl Flooring is not only stylish and simple to install, they’re also easy to clean and maintain giving you an easy life, healthy and hygienic residential or commercial space.

The wear layer fused with a lamination process in the production of Vinyl Flooring are to make it even more resistant for stains as well as needing the minimum of cleaning and regular maintenance.

It comes as no surprise when many use the known conventional cleaning methods used when cleaning ceramic, porcelain, stone or wood flooring, when cleaning vinyl flooring. For example mopping daily with a lot of detergent.

What Is Vinyl Flooring?

Vinyl tiles or vinyl flooring is a type of multi-layered synthetic flooring made from plastic materials like PVC (polyvinyl chloride) & SPC (stone plastic composite), Vinyl flooring typically comes in planks, tiles or sheets that can then be assembled. A core layer, potentially with an underlay or backing, makes up the bulk of the vinyl. Over this is an image layer, which can mimic a multitude of materials including wood and stone flooring. A top wear layer of varying thickness protects the sublayers from damage.

How to clean and maintain Vinyl Flooring

To keep the vinyl floors looking as good as the day it was laid, here’s what to do:

Daily

Remove dust with broom/brush or vacuum cleaner to avoid buildup of dust or dirt and to make it easier to maintain your floors.

Weekly

Once a week clean with a dry mop, warm water and neutral detergent or vinegar to remove dirt and keep the tiles in good condition.

NOTES:
– Please do not walk or use the newly installed area for 24hrs after installation to allow the vinyl to bond perfectly with the adhesive

– In the instance where the installed area will not be used immediately, or locked up air tight after 24hrs, kindly allow ventilation in the area for up to 3 days

– Remember, you don’t need a lot of water and detergent to clean your vinyl floors.

Removing stains on Vinyl Flooring

Treat stains immediately! Clean from the outside of the stain towards its center, then clean and wipe with fresh water.
– Ink, tomato, blood stains or rust can be removed by putting warm water diluted alcohol or vinegar directly on the stain for few minutes without scrubbing, then rinse after with water.

– Pen and marker stains are easily cleaned by rubbing with a little white spirit on cloth and clean well with water.

Make sure there’s adequate ventilation during and after cleaning to aid quick drying, The sooner you remove stains from the vinyl tiles the better!

Extra tips for extra care;

– Place protective pads under heavy furniture legs.
– Avoid rubber bottoms on object resting on your vinyl tiles, it may cause staining.
– Use door mats at entrance ways to prevent dirt or dust from being brought inside, this makes cleaning easier, about 80% of dirt can be stopped there.
– Clean your vinyl floors with natural, soft or neutral detergents.
– Do not drag sharp objects on your vinyl tiles, you may cause permanent indent markings.

Do not clean vinyl tiles with;

– Abrasive powders
– Black soaps
– Acetone or solvents
– Wax or Varnish
– Oil-based products
– Steam cleanser

10 reasons to choose Vinyl Tiles over Ceramic Tiles

admin — Tue, 11 Jul 2023 12:51:51 +0000

In the quest for choosing your new flooring product, the most common thought becomes Vinyl Tiles vs Ceramic or Porcelain Tiles, as to which is better, more affordable, more durable and also which of them last longer. Its only natural to compare these two products because Ceramic or Porcelain tiles have been around longer and are more common. However, Vinyl Flooring is a fairly new product to many, but in all honesty has been in existence for several decades, which was previously made in boring solid colour shades. Thanks to technology advancement, the current generation of Vinyl Flooring now comes in various vibrant modern colour shades and patterns that mimic wood and stone flooring.

What Is Vinyl Flooring?

Why you must choose Vinyl Tiles over Ceramic or Porcelain Tiles

1. Resilient

Vinyl flooring is known for being resilient. This means that most vinyl flooring is water-resistant and very low maintenance, with long-lasting durability. Because of the wear layer, vinyl flooring will usually not stain and can survive plenty of wear and tear, which makes it a good option for any high traffic areas. MODERN FLOORS® manufactures 100% waterproof vinyl floors.

2. Non-Slippery

Have you ever slipped or felt ceramic or porcelain tiles was slippery, i bet your answer is “YES all the time”… Worst off, for rooms that use air conditioning, you notice it more. This is a big hazard since the worst cases of a fall can sometimes be fatal. MODERN FLOORS® Vinyl Flooring is embossed on the surface, which not only gives it a natural feel but makes it anti-slippery.

3. Comfortable & Sound Proof

Compared to ceramic and porcelain flooring, vinyl flooring has a “softer” and more “padded” feeling underfoot, which i like to call orthopedic feel, thanks to its layered composition. This property makes it a safer choice when you have toddlers that crawl and also absorbs the shock and damage when a valuable item falls on the floor. These layers also insulate and help the floor maintain a consistent temperature no matter the season. Vinyl also have soundproofing qualities, which serve to reduce both noise and echo in any room.

4. Quick Installation

On average, it takes just a day for a team of vinyl flooring installers to cover an area of 100sqm or more. This same area coverage, when using ceramic and porcelain flooring, can take up to 14 days. This is because vinyl flooring uses an adhesive in the case of dry back, and when installing click lock vinyl tiles no adhesive is required. In comparison to ceramic or porcelain, portland cement, tile cement are mixed and applied and set consuming time, the cutting of stone flooring also requires the use of mechanical or electric power whilst regular utility cutting blades are used in vinyl flooring.

5. Easy Replacement

Have you ever tried to have ceramic and porcelain flooring removed? if yes, you will know its a very tedious procedure where the floor has to be hacked and broken. It takes a lot of time, and the process of breaking the floor poses a structural integrity risk to the entire building. When vinyl flooring has to be replaced, it only requires lifting the tiles with a flat surface tool such as a scrapper and replacing very simple and easy.

6. Installation over existing surfaces

Did you know Vinyl Flooring can be installed directly on top of existing surfaces such as regular tiles, broken tiles, terrazzo, wooden floors as well as smooth screeded cemented floors? Now you know!!!

7. Improves building structural integrity and lifespan

A square meter of 2mm vinyl tiles weighs approximately 4kg, whereas the same for ceramic and porcelain flooring weighs 15kg, which is almost 4 times more. Now imagine covering your 1st floor of 500sqm, vinyl flooring will only add 2 tonnes of weight, when ceramic and porcelain flooring will put a whooping 7.5 tonnes of weight on the floor. Scary, right? Now imagine you have more than one floor, are you doing the calculation?

8. Easy to clean & maintain

The same wear layer mentioned above when we spoke about vinyl flooring being resilient, is also the reason why it easier to clean and maintain. If you have ever had a certificate laminated you will bear witness to the fact that if it stains just a normal cloth wipe will remove the stain, yes the top wear layer of the vinyl tile is similar to that, hence making cleaning very easy and cost/time saving, you do not need a soapy detergent as this will rather cause the surface to turn white, dry mopping once or twice a week and sweep daily is recommended. In the instance of a stubborn stain, warm water with added vinegar will do the job.

9. Affordable

Affordability can be a relative argument depending on the quality of ceramic and porcelain flooring being compared to vinyl flooring, however an average quality stone flooring product cost at least 50% more than equal quality vinyl flooring. Vinyl flooring wins the affordability conversation hands down when it comes to materials used during installation, those we captured above in point 4 when we spoke about “Quick Installation”. There’s a popular saying that “time is money” this principle applies in favor of vinyl flooring because labor cost will most likely be lower than ceramic and porcelain flooring and it takes way shorter installation time, this goes in favor of people who are building or renovating on budget.

10. Positive customer reviews

For the past 5 years of selling vinyl flooring, we always get confident positive feedback from our clients.
Some confirm it gave them an opportunity to try out something new for their homes which they love, some also were left jaw dropping after seeing the splendid transformation in their space.

Bottom Line, If you are looking for a waterproof, non-slippery, durable flooring that is comfortable to walk on, easy to install and requires little maintenance, then vinyl flooring is your answer. However, vinyl flooring is not the longest-lasting flooring option because it can last 10 to 25 years depending on the wear layer thickness, the material used to manufacture and the traffic on the surface.
