On the downside, it will begin to show signs of wear and tear after time, particularly if used to cover floors in an area with heavy foot traffic, but it is cheap and easy to repair. Plastic flooring is especially suitable for use in kitchens and bathrooms as it is waterproof, impervious to damp and relatively hard wearing.

Cleaning and Maintaining Plastic Flooring

All you really need do is regularly sweep or vacuum your plastic flooring, keeping it free of dirt and general debris. Spillages can be cleaned up with a damp sponge and if the flooring starts to look a bit dull you can liven it up with a good polish. However make sure you do not use abrasive cleaning materials or strong detergents,as they can leave a dull film on your floor. Also avoid paste wax and solvent-based polishes, as these are abrasive to plastic and will eventually wear it down. the only other thing to watch out for is moving heavy furniture on plastic flooring, this can rip or tear the floor and ruin it. Place plywood flooring or use coasters on furniture legs first, then move the furniture to avoid damage.
