How to clean your vinyl floor?

We can think of more pleasant activities than cleaning your floor, but here’s some good news. With our Alpha Vinyl floors, you can get the job done with almost anything: a broom, a microfiber cloth, a vacuum cleaner, a damp mop …

On Alpha Vinyl, you can even use a steam cleaner. But beware: the steam shouldn’t come in direct contact with the planks (cover the opening with a cloth), and you shouldn’t apply the nozzle to one area for longer than a few moments.

Vinyl stair covers can be maintained in the same way as your vinyl flooring.
