If you floor becomes dull looking you may need to add the manufacturer's recommended floor polish to restore the original gloss level. First, try cleaning with Luke warm water and clear ammonia to see if there is a film on your floor causing the dullness.

Never use abrasive cleaners, soaps, paste waxes, or solvents on your vinyl floor.

Place non-staining, walk-off mats at every outside entry to your room. This will help keep sand and grit from being tracked on to your floor.

When moving heavy objects across your floor place plywood or underlayment sheets down first and move the object over the plywood sheets.
