As SPC flooring is favored by more and more homes and commercial places for its durability, waterproofness and aesthetics, Herringbone SPC flooring, as a high-end laying method, has become a popular trend in modern home decoration. However, to ensure the service life of herringbone SPC flooring and maintain its original luster, proper cleaning and maintenance are essential. This article will provide you with a professional and practical guide from four aspects: daily cleaning, deep cleaning, preventive maintenance and common problem handling.
The waterproof and wear-resistant properties of herringbone SPC flooring make it relatively simple to clean, but in order to avoid dust and particles accumulating and affecting the floor surface, the following methods are recommended for daily cleaning:
Broom or vacuum cleaner cleaning:
Use a soft-bristled broom or a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush head to remove dust and small particles every day or at least every other day to prevent scratching the floor surface.
Avoid using a vacuum cleaner with a rotating brush to avoid damaging the protective layer on the surface of the floor.
Wet mop: Use a slightly damp mop to wipe the floor, avoid using a lot of water, and prevent moisture from penetrating into the joints. It is recommended to use a dedicated pH-neutral SPC floor cleaner and avoid using cleaning products containing bleach, ammonia or strong acids and alkalis to prevent damage to the floor surface. Immediate treatment of liquid spills: If water, beverages, oil stains, etc. are spilled, they should be wiped immediately with a dry cloth or a highly absorbent paper towel to prevent stains from penetrating or causing discoloration of the floor.
Regular decontamination and brightening Even with daily cleaning, the floor may still accumulate stains and lose its luster due to long-term use, so it is recommended to perform a deep cleaning every 1-2 months. Warm water + mild detergent Add an appropriate amount of pH-neutral SPC floor cleaning solution to warm water and wipe with a soft cloth or wet mop. After wiping, use a dry mop or dry cloth to wipe off excess water to accelerate the drying of the floor.
How to remove stubborn stains:
Oil stains: Clean with warm water and a small amount of detergent, then wipe with a dry cloth.
Ink or shoe prints: Wipe with alcohol or diluted isopropyl alcohol (Isopropyl Alcohol), but do not use excessive amounts to prevent affecting the surface of the floor.
Adhesives (such as chewing gum, wax): Use a plastic scraper to gently scrape off, then clean with a damp cloth.
Floor Brightening and Maintenance
SPC floors usually do not need waxing, but if you want to enhance the gloss, you can use a professional floor care agent.
Avoid using floor wax or silicone products, which may make the surface slippery and affect the anti-slip property.
During daily use, taking appropriate protective measures can effectively reduce the wear and tear of the floor and maintain its beauty.
Use protective pads and carpets
Install rubber or soft pads under the feet of furniture to prevent scratches on the floor.
Place dustproof mats at the door to reduce the wear and tear of the floor by mud and sand.
Avoid high temperatures and direct sunlight
Long-term direct sunlight may cause the floor color to fade. It is recommended to use curtains or sunshades to protect the floor.
Avoid placing high-temperature objects (such as hot pots, heaters, etc.) directly on the floor to prevent deformation caused by thermal expansion and contraction.
Reasonably control humidity
In a humid environment, a dehumidifier can be used to prevent the floor from getting damp.
In an overly dry environment, a humidifier can be used to prevent the floor from shrinking due to drying.
Even with regular cleaning and maintenance, SPC floors may still encounter some problems. The following are common situations and treatment methods:
| Problem | Possible causes | Solutions |
| Scratches | Furniture movement, sand on the soles of shoes | Wipe with a slightly damp cloth and gently treat with a professional floor repair agent |
| Floor warping or gap enlargement | Humidity changes or installation problems | Humidity changes or installation problems |
| Stains are difficult to remove | Oil stains, ink stains | Use isopropyl alcohol or mild detergent in moderation |
| Floor yellowing | Wax-containing detergents are used or have not been cleaned for a long time | Use neutral detergent to clean and avoid using wax products |
Herringbone SPC floors have become a popular choice for modern decoration with their unique splicing process and superior performance. Through scientific and reasonable cleaning methods, regular deep cleaning and effective protective measures, you can extend the service life of the floor and maintain its gloss and beauty. If you encounter special stains or minor damage, taking appropriate treatment measures in time can also effectively restore the original texture of the floor.
Whether it is a home user or a commercial space, mastering the correct SPC floor maintenance techniques can keep your floor in the best condition at all times, making the indoor environment more comfortable and more beautiful.
