Do I need to use specialist floor cleaning products?

While you can use natural cleaning solutions to maintain vinyl, porcelain, and laminate flooring, we highly recommend using specialised cleaners. They will deliver the best results and are specifically designed to cater to the unique cleaning requirements of each material.

These specialist cleaners are safe and won't harm your floor's finish. They are formulated to clean your floor efficiently, maintain its aesthetic appeal, and extend its lifespan. Opting for these products ensures you get the most out of your floor's performance and durability.

What is the best floor cleaner to use?

The best floor cleaner to use depends on the type of flooring you have. Each flooring material has unique care requirements that will benefit from specific cleaning formulas. For example, laminate floors will benefit from a dedicated cleaner like the Berry Alloc laminate flooring cleaner. Vinyl floors, on the other hand, would benefit from a dedicated cleaner like the Moduleo daily floor cleaner.

Our floor cleaners include top-quality, brand-name cleaners for all types of flooring, ensuring you get the best results no matter your floor type. If you need help deciding which product to choose, our customer service team is on hand to help. 

What is the best floor cleaner for vinyl?

The best cleaner for vinyl flooring is a vinyl-specific cleaner. These cleaners are specifically formulated to safely and effectively clean vinyl floors without leaving residue or causing damage. They remove dirt and stains while preserving the floor's finish, maintaining its shine, and prolonging its lifespan.

Our vinyl floor cleaners include leading brands like Karndean and Moduleo. These products are known for their superior vinyl cleaning performance. When used correctly, they will keep your vinyl floors looking their best for years. One of our best vinyl floor cleaners we highly recommend is the Moduleo Floor Care Kit. It comes with everything you need to keep your vinyl floors looking fresh and new.  

What is the best laminate floor cleaner?

When cleaning laminate flooring, using a laminate-specific product is the best option. These cleaners are designed to safely and effectively clean and maintain laminate floors, removing dirt and residue without harming the protective surface layer.

Our range of laminate cleaners includes top-rated brands trusted for their exceptional performance. These products are safe for regular use and will help maintain the beauty and durability of your laminate floors.

Can I use Karndean floor cleaners on any vinyl floor? 

You can use Karndean vinyl floor cleaners on any vinyl flooring. The brand has formulated the cleaners to be effective while preserving the unique finish and characteristics of Karndean flooring. It is precisely engineered to yield the best results when used on Karndean floors. 

There are alternatives if a specific branded cleaner for your vinyl floor isn't available. For instance, the James range offers versatile cleaning solutions that are compatible with a wide variety of vinyl floors.

What does a floor stripper do?

A floor stripper is typically known as a product that strips the colour of flooring. However, some act more as intensive cleaners, helping to eliminate stubborn, built-up dirt and grime that regular cleaners might not be able to handle. They are gentle yet effective cleaning agents designed to deep clean without compromising the integrity of your floor's finish. 

The Karndean Remove Stripper is one of the best on the market, designed for vinyl floors. In just 5 minutes, it removes dirt, grime, and even light scratches. You can use these stripper cleaners to rejuvenate your floor's appearance by removing layers of accumulated dirt, bringing back its original shine. 

How often should I use floor cleaners? 

How often you should be using floor cleaners depends on the type of floor and the level of foot traffic it is exposed to. High-traffic areas require frequent cleaning, while quieter areas can be cleaned less often. 

As a rule, you should always refer to the product label or manufacturer's instructions to see how often they recommend using the cleaner. This will ensure you maintain your floor's optimal cleanliness and longevity of your floor without risking over or under-cleaning. 

Can you use Fairy liquid to clean floors?

While technically, you can use Fairy liquid to create a mild floor cleaning solution, it isn't something we recommend. Washing up liquids is a gentle cleaning option, but they can leave streaks and residue on the floor. They are not explicitly formulated for floor cleaning and may not deliver the best results. 

It is best to use floor-specific cleaners. These products are designed to effectively clean the floor while protecting the finish and lifespan of the floor.
