By their very nature, vinyl floors are hardwearing, and water, scratch and stain-resistant. Tarkett vinyl floors, for instance, are manufactured with multi-directional base layers, which provide water resistance and high dimensional stability. They’re also treated with a special PUR surface treatment, which provides extreme protection and makes them even more durable and resistant to scratches or stains, and even easier to clean.

As a result, if you follow the basic cleaning routine above, there’s very little need for any ongoing maintenance of your vinyl floors. Unlike hardwood, for instance, you don’t need to apply wax or polish the surface to restore shine. A deep clean with soap and warm water is all that’s needed to restore vinyl’s original appearance. However, vinyl is not indestructible, and it's essential to take the correct measures to keep your floor in good condition.
