5 tips for best results
- Regular vacuuming
Vacuuming your floor is one of the most important things to do. Taking proper care of your floor starts with regularly removing dirt, dust and sand. That way you significantly reduce the risk of scratches and wear! When vacuuming, we recommend using a soft brush.
2. Spillages? Clean up immediately!
Of course, spilling water, coffee or soft drinks can happen once in a while. Although Vinyl floors are water-resistant, it is important to clean up any spills immediately. You do this by dabbing up the excess moisture with kitchen paper or another soft cloth. This will prevent the moisture from migrating to the seams or joints of the floor!
3. Suitable cleaning products
When cleaning your Whalebone Vinyl floor, always choose agents that are free of harsh chemicals. By avoiding harmful cleaning products such as all-purpose cleaner, cleaning vinegar and similar products, you protect the top layer of the floor from damage.

To avoid possible scratches in the top layer of the floor, we recommend placing mats under the legs of your furniture. This will allow you to move furniture around easily without damaging the floor!
