How to Maintain Your Luxury Vinyl Plank Flooring
LVP floors are designed for durability, but regular care is key to extending their lifespan and keeping them looking new. Follow these simple maintenance tips below.
General cleaning of your LVP Flooring is recommended once every 1-2 weeks. Floors subject to heavy traffic should be cleaned on a more frequent basis. For easy, safe maintenance of your wood floor, we recommend a Hardwood Floor Cleaning Kit. Most kits contain a specially designed mop, a 32 or 24 oz. Hardwood Floor Cleaning, and a washable microfiber cloth mop cover.
Follow these instructions:
1. Vacuum or sweep
Always vacuum or sweep to remove dirt and any grit prior to cleaning your wood floors.
2. Spray
Lightly mist a 6′ x 6′ area of your wood floor, or directly mist the mop’s microfiber cloth cover.
3. Wipe
Using a back and forth motion, clean the floor surfaces with your mop or clean microfiber cloth until completely dry. Finish an area before moving on to the next. The mop’s low profile and easy-to-maneuver swivel-head makes it a perfect cleaning tool for hard-to-reach areas such as under furniture and cabinets, around doors, or in tight corners. When your microfiber cloth cover becomes soiled, replace it with a clean one. Continued use of excessively soiled covers may cause streaking. Most of the microfiber cloths in today’s market are reusable. Simply wash and dry them as you would any towel. When a spill occurs, soak up the liquid promptly. Mist the affected area with LVP Floor Cleaner and wipe with a mop or a clean, soft cloth.
Keep your floor clean! Grit tracked in under your feet ruins the surface of wood floors, and any other flooring material, faster than anything else. No grit, no damage.
Blot up spills immediately.
Dust mop floors using an untreated mop and proper wood floor cleaner.
Use door mats and walk-off mats whenever possible to keep dirt and grit off the floor.
DO NOT use steam mops – Excessive heat can weaken adhesives and warp planks.
DO NOT use powder cleaners or soft cream cleaners (Soft Scrub)\
DO NOT use mold removers (Tile X, X14, etc.) or disinfectants (Lysol).
DO NOT use abrasive scrubbers – They can cause surface scratches and dull the finish.
DO NOT use furniture polish (Pledge, Jubilee, Endust).
DO NOT use wax or oil cleaners (Orange Glow, Murphy’s Oil)!
DO NOT USE VINEGAR!
