2. Use a Gentle Mop with Mild Cleaner

Mopping is essential, but using the right tools and products matters. Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive scrubbing tools, as they can damage the finish. Instead, choose a pH-neutral cleaner or a vinyl-specific cleaning product for best results.



3. Protect Vinyl from Heavy Furniture and Sharp Objects
