What is the best way to protect your vinyl floor?

All Floorify rigid vinyl floors are low-maintenance. Why? They are all 100% water-resistant, have a transparent wear layer (class 32/33) and are equipped with a stain-resistant PU top layer.

Here are a few TIPS to help you to protect your floor and extend its service life. In addition, thorough cleaning helps to make sure that the floor retains its original beauty.

PREVENTION

TIP 1: PROVIDE A CLEANING MAT

Prevent the ingress of dirt, water and sand by using an appropriate cleaning mat that is sufficiently large. The mat should not have a rubber back. Lay a mat at every entrance to your home. This will help to prevent damage as well as make it easier to maintain your Floorify floor, and extend its service life.

TIP 2: USE PROTECTIVE CAPS ON FURNITURE

Attach suitable protective caps to the bottom of your furniture. Don’t use cheap caps, but choose high-quality, softer caps. Clean them regularly and replace them if they start to accumulate dirt or wear. Make sure that felt pads do not become wet—if they do, they will start to absorb dirt particles and begin to act like sand paper. What do we not recommend? Rubber felts, Teflon felts or hard plastic.

TIP 3: AVOID CONTACT WITH RUBBER

Long-term contact between vinyl and PVC can cause persistent, dark-brown discolouration that is very difficult to eliminate. Do not use rubber or latex-coated mats, castors or other rubber objects in combination with our floors.

TIP 4: RAISE HEAVY OBJECTS

Never drag heavy objects or furniture over the floor, raise them instead.

TIP 5: FIT SOFT WHEELS TO MOBILE FURNITURE

You must use soft wheels on a hard floor like Floorify. Fit wide, soft wheels to all mobile furniture (check with the supplier, if necessary). Make sure that the wheels are not made of rubber and that they are not so narrow that they exert point loads on the floor. You can also place a (non-rubber) protective mat under chairs and furniture.

MAINTENANCE PRODUCTS

Floorify maintenance products have been extensively tested so that we can ensure that your floor has a lengthy service life. The neutral pH value of the products ensures that the top layer of your Floorify floor remains undamaged. In addition, these products do not leave behind a film. This way, the floor retains its original beauty.
