Cleaning and maintaining your wood plastic flooring is essential to extend its lifespan and maintain its appearance. Here are some ways to clean and maintain wood plastic flooring:
1. Daily cleaning
Routine cleaning is the key to keeping your wood plastic floor clean. Use a soft-bristled brush or broom to remove dust and debris daily. You can use a vacuum cleaner for further cleaning, making sure you use the right vacuum cleaner accessories to avoid scratching the floor surface. In addition, you can also use a wet mop to gently wipe the floor, and if necessary, wipe the surface with an appropriate amount of warm water, but try to avoid using too much water to prevent the floor from getting damp.
2. Prevent scratches
Avoid using furniture or items with sharp bottoms on wood plastic flooring. You can use rugs or rugs under furniture legs to reduce the risk of scratching the floor. When moving furniture, lift rather than drag to avoid scratching the floor surface.
3. Prevent cigarette butt burns
Avoid placing cigarette butts or other burning objects in direct contact with the wood plastic flooring surface as they may cause burns and damage. If you accidentally get a burn, use fine sandpaper to lightly sand it and then wipe it with a clean cloth.
4. Prevent liquid penetration
If the liquid on the wood-plastic floor is removed quickly, it will generally not cause permanent damage to the floor. Wipe up the liquid immediately with a rag or paper towel to prevent it from penetrating beneath the floor. Avoid using chemical cleaners that contain acidic or corrosive ingredients as they may cause damage to the floor surface.
5. Prevent sun exposure
Exposure of wood plastic flooring to sunlight can cause color changes and fading. Use devices such as curtains, blinds, or sunshades to block sunlight, especially if they will not be used for long periods of time.
6. Regular maintenance
Wood plastic flooring can be maintained regularly using specialized floor cleaners. First, remove dust and debris from the floor, then follow the cleaner's instructions. Use a specially designed mop or floor cleaning utensil to clean and make sure the cleaner is evenly applied to the entire floor surface. After using the cleaner, remove the residue with a damp mop and dry with a dry mop.
7. Maintenance of frequently visited areas
If there are some frequently visited areas, such as entrances or hallways, you can place carpets or use carpet pads on top of the wood plastic flooring to reduce wear and tear. These carpets can concentrate weathering and wear and extend the life of your wood plastic flooring with regular replacement.
8. Annual meticulous maintenance
Annual meticulous maintenance can further protect the maintenance of wood plastic flooring. You can use wood floor protectants, such as wood floor wax, to increase the shine and durability of your floors. Before applying protectant, clean the floor and make sure the surface is dry.
Summarize:
Cleaning and maintaining wood plastic flooring requires regular cleaning and maintenance, and avoidance of harsh materials and excess water. During the cleaning process, make sure to use the appropriate detergents and utensils, and deal with liquid penetration and cigarette butt burns promptly. Regular maintenance and annual maintenance can further extend the life of your flooring and maintain its beauty. Finally, avoiding sun exposure and mechanical wear can effectively reduce floor damage.
