Luxury Vinyl Care And Maintenance

Use a Microfiber Mop
Some types of mops and cleaning pads can be very abrasive. A microfiber mop can pick up any dust, pet hair, or dirt that you missed when you dry mop. We recommend purchasing a high quality mop.
We recommend not using a traditional mop and a bucket of water, as this will just throw water on the floor without actually cleaning it. While luxury vinyl is waterproof, soaking the floor is not recommended.
Another thing to avoid is using a steam mop. While steam mops are convenient and easy to use, they can damage and warp Luxury vinyl plank tile flooring.
Using a wet microfiber mop and the proper cleaner will keep your floors looking their best without damaging them. A great alternative to store-bought cleaners is warm water with a little mild soap.
 

Clean Up Spills Immediately
To keep any type of Luxury vinyl looking like new, it’s important to clean up spills immediately to prevent staining or other damage.
 

• Never use bleach or ammonia on vinyl floors

Use floor protectors on all furniture
If you have heavy furniture or appliances that you don't use often, be sure to use floor protectors to prevent damage.

Floor protectors should be:

• Flat
• Free of stains or damage

Use protectors under all office furniture, especially office chairs. Damage caused by moving office chairs or any other objects, including wheelchairs, is not covered under your warranty.

Use Mats at Entrances and Exits
A quality floor mat can help prevent some dust and dirt from entering the house.

Remove Stains and Spots Carefully
Spills and stains happen. While it’s best to clean them up right away, sometimes accidents happen and you don’t notice until the stain has already set in.

• Clean the area with a suitable floor cleaner.
• Next,scrub the area with a non-abrasive white scrubbing pad.
• If you are removing stains from permanent marker, pen ink, hair dye, or nail polish, treat the area with isopropyl alcohol.
• To remove rust, use potassium bitartrate.
• Finally, rinse with clean water and dry with a clean cloth
