Why do you wax a vinyl floor?

Most of the vinyl floors that are sold currently are called "No Wax Vinyl Floors" this means that the top coating is manufactured so that when you use the floor cleaner suggested it will look as it did when installed- the flooring industry..(like computers) are constantly changing and becoming more user friendly/easy care- Vinyl floors that are not called No wax- need to be stripped and cleaned- then liquid wax applied to give it that wet look-shiny- then normal household traffic will dull the floor- once again having to clean/strip and re-apply wax- to give it shine and slight protection- The manufactures suggestions- The no wax floors now just require a simple mop and no rinse solution- (like mop and glo)- but you should always follow the manufacturers suggestions for care and cleaning of your vinyl flooring- house hold cleaners that are bought at the grocery store like pine sol etc- will ruin the floor and yellow over time- Always use vinyl cleaning products from the manufacturers like Armstrong-Mannington and Congoleum-these types of cleaners will make the floor look great and will look good for a long time- vinly floors need to be cleaned/stripped and polish reapplied for beauty-
