How To Clean Commercial PVC Flooring | R Tek

When it comes to maintaining that polished, professional look of your commercial PVC flooring, a proper cleaning routine is key. Whether your work floor sees a high footfall or suffers the occasional spill, keeping your floors clean not only keeps it looking fresh but also prolongs its lifespan.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through the simple yet effective steps to keep your PVC flooring remains pristine.

Regular Sweeping or Hoovering

Just like any other floor, PVC floors need regular sweeping or hoovering to remove dirt and dust. This easy step prevents dirt particles from scratching your floor over time.

Mopping with Mild Detergent

For a deeper clean, a mop and mild detergent work wonders. Opt for a pH-neutral cleaner diluted in water to avoid unnecessary damage to your floor. Your mop only needs to be damp, not soaked, to stop excess water from seeping into the seams.

Always Clean ASAP

Accidents happen, but cleaning the spill as soon as it happens prevents damage to your flooring. As soon as a spill occurs, blot the area with a clean cloth or paper towel to absorb the liquid. Follow up with a gentle cleaning solution to remove any spill left.

Avoid Harsh Chemicals

While your PVC flooring is pretty resilient, harsh chemicals like bleach can cause discolouration. Go for milder cleaning agents designed for vinyl surfaces.

Avoid Scrathces

For the more stubborn stains, use a soft-bristled brush to gently scrub those stains. Using a harder or firmer brush will only leave unnecessary scratches on your PVC flooring, defeating the purpose.

Rinse with water

After you have cleaned your floor with the steps above, rinse the floor thoroughly with clean water to remove any remaining detergent left over. You can also use a mop.

Give PLENTY OF time for Drying

Once cleaned and rinsed, allow some time for the floor to air dry. Try to prevent people from walking over the floor when it is still drying.

Some extra protection

Though not essential, adding a protective coating or sealant to your PVC flooring really adds to the lifespan.  This additional layer provides protection against wear and tear.
