Report
We purchased vinyl flooring for our hall, dining room, kitchen and toilet from Erskine's. We would like to point out that Sean Nunes was extremely helpful with regard to giving advice on the vinyl and organising fitters. However, when we asked Sean how we should clean the vinyl he told us NOT to use a MOP but to use a STEAM CLEANER. However, when we looked up Tarkett they asvised DO NOT USE A STEAM CLEANER but to use a micro fibre mop since a steam cleaner will de laminate the vinyl and soften the top layer thus decreasing the longevity of the vinyl.
Of course, perhaps that is was Erskine's would like to happen! A star was deducted for the incorrect after care advice we were given about cleaning the 2,000 worth of vinyl we purchased from Erskines!

Excellent service in terms of advice on the right chair for me and the best fabric for intensive and long wear. Order was received earlier than forecast and delivery was prompt and again service was great.
