How to Clean SPC Vinyl Plank Flooring？

Cleaning SPC (Stone Plastic Composite) vinyl plank flooring is straightforward and helps maintain its appearance and longevity. 

Here’s a step-by-step guide:

Regular Cleaning

1. Sweep or Vacuum:

   • Use a soft-bristle broom or a vacuum cleaner with a hard floor attachment to remove dust and debris. Avoid using a vacuum with a beater bar as it can scratch the floor.

2. Dry Mop:

   • Use a dry microfiber mop to pick up any remaining dust and fine particles.

Weekly Cleaning

1. Damp Mop:

   • Mix a solution of warm water and a few drops of mild dish soap or a pH-neutral floor cleaner.
   • Dampen a microfiber mop in the solution, wring out excess water so the mop is just damp, not wet.
   • Mop the floor in the direction of the planks to avoid streaking.

2. Rinse:

   • If needed, rinse the mop with clean water and go over the floor again to remove any soap residue.

Spot Cleaning

1. Stains and Spills:

   • Wipe up spills immediately with a soft cloth.
   • For tough spots like food stains or scuff marks, use a damp cloth with a mild detergent.

2. Avoid Abrasive Cleaners:

   • Do not use harsh chemicals, abrasive scrubbers, or steam mops, as they can damage the floor.

Deep Cleaning

1. Periodic Deep Clean:
   • Occasionally, you may want to do a deeper clean. Use a specialized vinyl floor cleaner as per the manufacturer's instructions.
   • Avoid flooding the floor with water. Always use a damp mop and ensure any excess water is wiped away.

Preventative Measures

1. Use Mats:

   • Place doormats at entryways to catch dirt and grit.
   • Use area rugs in high-traffic areas to protect the floor.

2. Furniture Pads:

   • Place pads under furniture legs to prevent scratching.
   • When moving heavy furniture, lift it instead of dragging.

3. Avoid Sharp Objects:

   • Be mindful of sharp objects or high heels which can damage the surface.

Following these steps will help keep your SPC vinyl plank flooring looking its best and ensure its durability for years to come.
