While Amtico flooring isn't as susceptible to wear and tear as other types of flooring, such as wood, it is important to make sure it is well-maintained to keep it looking its best for longer. In this blog, we'll explain the best way to clean Amtico flooring and will provide you with a few tips and tricks so you can keep your Amtico flooring looking great.
Before we look at what to clean Amtico flooring with, it's important to note that when it comes to taking care of Amtico flooring, prevention is better than cure. To minimise any wear on your flooring in the first place, one of the best preventative methods you can take is sticking adhesive felt pads on the bottom of any chair and table legs in your home. Protective pads are incredibly cheap to buy and will prevent any scratching caused by dragging your furniture across the floor.
While delicate pieces of furniture, such as thin tables and chairs, can look great, they're not the most practical investment for your home. Furniture that has thin legs can cause denting in your Amtico flooring, so it's better to opt for furniture items that have a larger contact area to minimise any damage over a longer period of time.
So, how do you clean Amtico flooring? Well, the good news is that compared to other flooring materials, such as carpet, Amtico flooring is incredibly easy to clean. In fact, all you need to do on a regular basis is quickly sweep up any dust and dirt and mop the floor occasionally.
If you spill anything on the floor, it's important to clean it up immediately and ensure any excess is wiped up with an appropriate Amtico cleaning product. If you need to use a vacuum cleaner, make sure it has bristles on the end to prevent any scratching.
Using steam mops to clean your Amtico flooring is not recommended, as this can damage the floor. Instead, all you need to do is use gentle cleaning methods and your Amtico flooring will last for many years.
