All vinyl floors have a breaking in period.
At first, the factory finish on the floor is so flawless that individual scuffs and scratches will appear more visible. As your floor is broken in with normal traffic its finish will develop to a rich, natural, uniform patina. The floor covering must be cleaned regularly with a dry mop, and all stains should be removed. To remove dust, it is better to use a dry mop instead of a vacuum 2. Lightly soiled floors may be damp mopped with one gallon of clear water mixed with 1 cup Rosco Blue Label Cleanser.
