Clean your Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl step by step

Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl floors are 100% waterproof thanks to their water-repellent coating and watertight click system. This means you can clean them with a wet cloth without worry! Make sure you remove any spills immediately though.

Weekly cleaning: dry

To keep your Quick-Step floor looking its best, simply vacuum or use a dry Quick-Step mop once a week. Its specially designed fibers are excellent at capturing dirt.

Monthly cleaning: slightly damp

  1. Start by thoroughly vacuuming or mopping your floor. For the best results, make sure your vacuum is equipped with soft wheels and a special parquet brush.

  2. Add water and Quick-Step Floor Cleaner to the bottle of your Quick-Step Cleaning kit. Next, fill a bucket with clean water to rinse out your mop.
    • Residential cleaning: approximately 1 teaspoon of Quick-Step Floor cleaner
    • Intensive cleaning of persistent dirty floors: approximately 3 teaspoons of Quick-Step Floor cleaner

  3. Begin mopping and rinse your mop in the bucket of clean water as needed. Then wipe your floor again until all the water is gone.
