PVC Flooring Daily Maintenance: A Complete Guide to Cleaning, Waxing and Scratch Repair

Published on 2026-08-04 · Suzhou Industrial Park Gulin Commerce Co., Ltd.

Some people's PVC floors still look new after ten years, while others lose their shine in three. The difference usually lies not in the material but in daily care. Correct PVC floor maintenance is actually simple; remember three levels.

1. The Right Way to Clean Daily

• Daily: dry mop or vacuum to remove grit and dust (grit is the main cause of wear);
• Weekly: mop with neutral cleaner and a slightly damp mop, avoiding large amounts of standing water;
• Avoid: steel wool, strong acids and alkalis, and long-term water soaking.

2. Stain and Scratch Treatment

Oil stains and pen marks: wipe locally with neutral cleaner or alcohol; chewing gum: freeze first, then scrape off gently; scratches: shallow scratches can be filled with PVC floor repair wax, while deep scratches can be repaired by replacing the tile locally (especially easy with tiles and click-lock flooring).

3. Waxing and Maintenance Cycles

For commercial PVC floors, apply a no-buff gloss wax or maintenance treatment every 3-6 months; shorten the cycle in high-traffic venues such as hospitals and schools. Before waxing, clean and dry thoroughly, apply thin coats evenly and repeatedly, and avoid thick buildup that yellows over time.
