Easiest & Best Ways Clean Discolored Vinyl Flooring
 
Vinyl flooring is favored by home-owners for many reasons: they’re cheap, durable, and they require far less maintenance than natural hardwood floors. Unfortunately, that doesn’t mean you can clean them however you want. Vinyl flooring still requires a great deal of care and attention compared to sturdier types of floorings like tiles or concrete.
 
In this guide from TheKingLive, we’ll show you how to clean discolored Vinyl flooring safely and effectively
 
Basic Cleaning Method
 
When it comes to daily cleaning, the thing that you need to pay the most attention to is vinyl’s sensitivity to moisture and stains. So, whenever you accidentally spill any kind of liquid onto the floor, clean up immediately. If you don’t, ugly stains will develop on your floor’s surface and ruin its aesthetic. You can either use a compatible floor mop or a clean, dry cloth.
 
Deep clean the floor once a week, with special focus on areas with high traffic like the living room and the kitchen. For lower-traffic areas, you can delay the cleaning chores for up to two weeks.
 
To clean the floor, start by vacuuming and dry mopping the floor to take care of any surface dust and debris. If you wet the mop immediately, debris particles can get stuck within the mop’s cleaning head and as you track them across the floor, they will scratch up the vinyl’s surface.
 
After dry mopping, you can begin to wet mop with a floor detergent of choice. There are special detergents formualated specifically for vinyl floors on the market that you can choose. Alternatively, you can make your own cleaning solution at home.
 
The recipe is pretty simple! Mix one cup of vinegar (white or apple cider vinegar) in a gallon of warm water. Stir well in a bucket, then dip the mop into the bucket and soak well. Wring, then start to mop as normal!

There are many different kinds of stains, and the best way to deal with them depends on the specific type.
 
For example, to deal with ketchup and stains caused by wine, the best cleaning method is a baking soda paste. In a large mixing bowl, mix 3 parts baking soda with 1 part water and stir the mixture until it congeals into a paste with the same consistency as toothpaste. Apply the paste to the floor, directly on top of the stain. Scrub well until the stain washes out. Wash and dry the area carefully to remove all traces of baking soda afterward.
 
Lipsticks and crayons are more difficult to deal with, but not impossible. You can apply rubbing alcohol onto a brush, then gently scrub at the spot until the stains are washed off. Use soft-bristle brush only, never use abrasive cleaning tools like steel wools.
 
For scuffs, you can use WMD-40. Apply the chemical to a towel, then scrub at the spot until the scuffs go away. Clean carefully with water afterward and ensure there’s no moisture left.
