WHAT NOT TO DO ON VINYL SURFACES

Knowing how to clean these types of floors is basic, you must do it correctly. Also in your day-to-day life at home you must know what not to do to avoid further damage.

Avoid scrubbing too hard, as this will remove the shine from the vinyl floor.
Never use a knife to remove dry substances that have stuck to the ground. This will leave a permanent mark.
Do not use abrasive cleaners.
Do not let the vinyl floor get too wet, this will damage the glue under the vinyl. If something spills be sure to dry it up quickly.
Avoid having furniture with wheels because these will leave marks on the floor.
Never use ammonia or bleach to clean vinyl floors.
Do not use the vacuum with the brush as it could scratch the floor.

Our basic recommendation is that you prefer the above vinegar cleaner when cleaning this surface. If you choose a commercial one, it should be specifically indicated for vinyl.

HOW TO CLEAN ANOTHER TYPE OF FLOORS

Apart from vinyl there are other types of floors that you can have in your home, here are some basic recommendations on its care.

WOOD:

A well-finished hardwood floor, installed by carpenters in New Jersey, can add a great touch to a room. It gives you a warm and friendly atmosphere. But, you need to give it good care so that it always looks good.

The first thing to do is sweep it to remove all the dirt. Then you can use a mop with a mixture of a quarter cup of detergent or dishwasher of neutral pH, with water. And then wipe it dry with a dry microfiber cloth, thus avoiding excess moisture.

NATURAL STONE (MARBLE OR GRANITE):

To clean these types of surfaces, the first thing to forget is vinegar, which, although it is highly recommended for other floors, is a no for these. Even a small amount of the acidic liquid can damage the stones, just as bleach or ammonia can.

It is recommended to clean them with a special product for these surfaces. This will help keep their shine intact if they are sealed. If they are not sealed, you should only use a microfiber cloth and hot water.

PORCELAIN:

Ceramic or porcelain tile is very common for bathrooms and kitchens, and it is easy to maintain. Weekly it is recommended to use a mixture of a quarter cup of vinegar in a container with a spray lid with water and 1 drop of dish soap. Use this spray on the floor and wipe in sections with a microfiber cloth.

For deeper cleanings every so often, prefer steam cleaning. With this, not only the ceramics but also the grooves between them will be cleaned.

LAMINATE FLOORING:

Laminate floors are very inexpensive; they are meant to look like real wood or stone. But, they need different care, although very few things could harm it.

The basic thing is to prevent the water from going under the sheets. So when cleaning it, it is best to vacuum and wipe with a slightly damp cloth. Never polish a floor of this type, if it looks damaged, it is best to replace it.

The truth is that each type of floor that you decide to install in your home needs certain special care. You can organize an annual maintenance plan to make sure everything is always in good condition. Take into account that there are certain tasks that you must do day by day and others that are reserved for each semester or year.
