7 Easy Ways to Maintain the Shine on Your Floors
If you’ve already applied Quick Shine® Finish to your floors, you know how it transforms them, making them look brand new. To help you keep that beautiful shine for longer, we’ve put together seven simple maintenance tips that will protect your floors and extend the life of our Finish.
1. Adjust Your Vacuum to Prevent Scuffing
When vacuuming your floors, make sure to lift the beater bar to avoid scuffing the Quick Shine® Finish. Using a vacuum designed for hard surfaces will provide the best results without damaging the protective layer.
2. Dry Dust Daily to Prevent Scratches
Use a microfiber mop pad to trap and lock in dust, pet hair, and debris. The dirt tracked in from outside acts like sandpaper on your floors, creating fine scratches over time. A quick daily dusting routine will help maintain a smooth, polished surface.
3. Use Quick Shine® Daily Care Cleaners for Spills
Spills left too long can seep into the Finish, causing stains and dullness. Keep your floors spotless by wiping away messes quickly with Quick Shine® Daily Care Multi-Surface or Hardwood Floor Cleaner.
4. Damp Mop with Quick Shine® Multi-Surface Spray Mop
For a deeper clean, use Quick Shine® Cleaners in our Quick Shine® Multi-Surface Spray Mop. Avoid steam mops or acidic cleaners, as they can dull and weaken the Finish over time.
5. Protect Your Floors from Scratches
Small scratches add up! Prevent damage by:
- Removing shoes at the door to reduce dirt and debris.
- Trimming pet nails regularly to prevent claw marks.
- Using a shoe storage solution to keep your entryway tidy.
6. Lift, Don’t Drag, Heavy Furniture
Dragging furniture across your floors can cause serious damage. Always lift furniture when moving it and use felt pads on chair and table legs to prevent scratches.
7. Use Rugs in High-Traffic and Moisture-Prone Areas
Protect your floors by placing rugs in entryways, under pet food and water bowls, and near kitchen sinks. This helps absorb moisture and prevents water damage to your Finish.
Keep Your Floors Looking Flawless!
By following these quick and easy maintenance tips, you can extend the life of Quick Shine® Finish and keep your floors looking flawless for months to come.

We just recently had luxury vinyl plank flooring put down. The contractor that put the floors in had his cleaning person use your product – Quick Shine Multi Surface Floor Finish. It certainly made the floors shine but at the same time it has made floors that were virtually maintenance free not so maintenance free now. There are scuffs all over from the kids shoes and just normal activity. I can’t get the scuff marks to come off. Any suggestions on how to remove the scuff marks and what if I want the shine removed, what do I use. Was this product suppose to be used on vinyl plank flooring?
Hi Denise,
Thank you for reaching out to us. You can safely remove the scuffed areas only or the shine completely from you luxury vinyl floors with our Quick Shine Deep Cleaner. Simply dilute one cup of Quick Shine Deep Cleaner with a half a gallon of HOT water from your sink. Working in 5 foot sections at a time, apply solution and let sit for 3-4 minutes before mopping away. If you have additional questions, please contact 800-255-1891. We are always happy to help!
