Introducing Fabuloso

Fabuloso is a cleaner that is made for hard surfaces in general, which means hard floors included. The multi-action formula is efficient in tackling different stains without damaging the surface.

But Fabuloso is truly a multi-purpose cleaner when it can help you clean other stuff like fabric, kitchen appliances, garbage cans, and toilets. But today we will focus on the function this cleaner provides for cleaning hard floors, vinyl floors to be specific.  

We will discuss this topic in the next segment.

Can you use Fabuloso on vinyl floors?

Since Fabuloso is recommended for use on hard surfaces, of course, you can take advantage of this multi-cleaner to remove stains on your vinyl floor. But that does not mean you can carelessly use it without following the proper instructions.

First of all, the Fabuloso is a concentrated cleaner, so it is better to dilute it before applying it on your vinyl floor. You should use a mop to perform this task for a better result.

Secondly, you should test a small amount of Fabuloso on the corner of your vinyl floor to see if there is any bad reaction after applying. That way, if your vinyl floor, especially old ones, is too fragile for this chemical cleaner, you can avoid the risk of damaging your entire vinyl floor.

And finally, always read the instructions on the package so that you won’t make any mistakes while using Fabuloso to clean your vinyl floor.

But we still have some tips and tricks to boost the efficiency of using Fabuloso on the vinyl floor in the next segment. Let’s move on to this topic.

What you need to know about using Fabuloso on vinyl floors and laminate floors for the best cleaning result

Before discussing the tips and tricks in using Fabuloso for cleaning the floors, we must know the difference between vinyl and laminate flooring to see if it is important to treat these floor types differently even when you are using the same cleaner.

The biggest difference between these floor types is that most vinyl floors are waterproof or water-resistant, which makes them more suitable for moisture-prone areas like bathrooms or kitchens compared to laminate floors.

Water resistant level is the biggest difference between vinyl floors and laminate floors

With that in mind, you know that it is better to be careful when applying any type of cleaner on laminate floors. And Fabuloso is not out of the list. Of course, there are ways to ensure you won’t damage laminate floors while using Fabuloso for cleaning, but we will talk about it later in this segment.

And just because vinyl floors are more water-resistant, you should not use Fabuloso recklessly on this hard floor. Although Fabuloso has a nice scent, it is still a chemical cleaner so there are chances that it can damage the vinyl floor if used incorrectly.

So, how can you use fabuloso on vinyl floors for the best cleaning result? Here is the ultimate tutorial for you:

• Step 1: Use a broom, a mop, or the Best Vacuum For Vinyl Plank Floors to remove dry dust from the vinyl floor to prevent scratches in the next process.
• Step 2: Mix a gallon of tap water with ¼ cup of Fabuluso together and stir well. If you have to remove a stubborn stain, try increasing Fabuluso’s concentration. But remember to keep it at a reasonable ratio or you may risk damaging the vinyl floor.
• Step 3: Dip a mop into the mixed solution. Wring out most of the water to prevent excess moisture from creeping under your vinyl floor.
• Step 4: Apply a small amount of the Fabuluso mixture on to an inconspicuous area. If it does not leave any marks, you can move onto the next step. Otherwise, find another solution to remove the stain.
• Step 5: Try to wash the mop several times during the process so that the vinyl floor is treated with a clean solution most of the time, especially on the stain spots.
• Step 6: Repeat the process until the stains are gone and your vinyl floor starts to shine. You should not use Fabuluso with wax or any polish on the floor.
• Step 7: Finally, let the floor air dry before using. You can speed up the drying process by using fans and/or opening the doors/windows in the room.

Now you can follow these easy steps to use Fabuloso on vinyl floors. What about laminate floors? Is there anything different in the process? Let’s see the tutorial below to see how to use Fabuloso to clean laminate floor correctly for the best result:

• Step 1: Remove dust and loosen dirt on your laminate floor with any method you have: vacuum cleaners, brooms, or mops.
• Step 2: Using the same ratio of ¼ cup of Fabuluso with warm water and mix until everything combines. The difference here is that you need to use warm water instead of tap water like in the vinyl floor tutorial. Also, it is not recommended to increase the Fabuluso’s concentration since the laminate floors are less water-resistant compared to vinyl floors.
• Step 3: Use a mop to apply the mixed solution onto the laminate floor. You should keep the mop as dry as possible, do not let a soaking wet mop touch your laminate floor or it will be damaged.
• Step 4: Test the Fabuluso mixture in a small area of your laminate floor to make sure it does not leave a streak on the surface before continuing with the process. You know it is better to find a different cleaning solution if there are streaks on your laminate floor after using the Fabuluso mixture.
• Step 5: Do not forget to refresh the mop each time you apply the solution on your laminate floor. You need to make sure only a clean solution is applied on the surface for the best result.
• Step 6: Repeat step 5 until the stain is removed from your laminate floor. A small trick that you can do is use a small amount of rubbing alcohol if the stain is too stubborn.
• Step 7: Do not use the floor until it is completely air dry. If you can not wait for a long time, try opening the doors/windows or using a fan to speed up the drying process.
