Vintage vinyl fabric is ideal for most flat surfaces indoors, even hardwood and tile floors. It won’t discolor or damage hardwood floors, which is a must. However, as with outdoor placement, you still want to take care of your vintage vinyl. It’s durable, not indestructible! You should never drag heavy furniture across it, and try to be careful of stiletto heels and sharp objects. With thesevintage vinyl floor mats, you should also always use felt pads under table and chair legs to help prevent punctures and tears.
Because of what vinyl material is composed of, you want to take special care of where you place it to ensure longevity. Vintage vinyl rugs are for indoor use or controlled outdoors. We recommend that if they are outdoors, they’re placed under a covered patio or screened-in porch. Though fade-resistant and durable against the elements, it’s important to adhere to the following: If the rug gets wet, allow the top to dry and flip it over for the other side to dry, which prevents molding; and secure it in place to prevent damage from inclement weather.
What is the easiest way to clean vinyl material? Simply wipe your vintage vinyl with a damp cloth – that’s it! For proper cleaning and upkeep, you’re going to want to clean your rug and underneath it. Try to clean up spills as soon as they occur to prevent staining. If you’re dealing with a stubborn spill, you may use diluted hand soap on a cloth or sponge, and rinse after cleaning.
Unlike other rugs, you should never use vacuums, scrub brushes, dish soaps, or other floor-cleaning chemicals on the vintage vinyl fabric. Vacuums and brushes will cause damage, while chemicals and abrasives will wear off the beautiful colors and patterns of your rug.
We want your rug to last a lifetime, and with a little love, it will. If you have any more questions or need assistance, feel free to reach out to our knowledgeable customer service. We’re always happy to help!
