Luxury Vinyl Plank is an extremely popular flooring with homeowners and business owners.  It is resilient, water resistant, easy to maintain, and looks beautiful! 

Since it is usually installed in high traffic areas such as living rooms, kitchens, hallways, and bathrooms, it requires daily sweeping and wet mopping with a neutral pH cleaner and microfiber mop several times per week.

While this flooring is fairly simple to maintain on a daily basis, over time, a build up of dirt and grime can lodge itself within the grooves and seams of the planks or tiles.  This can be difficult to remove for the same reason it can be difficult to keep grout clean without using professional equipment – gravity is working against you!  Using the incorrect cleaning products can also make these floors sticky, with a dirt attracting residue clinging to the surface.

Benefits of Luxury Vinyl Plank Cleaning

Health – Contrary to popular belief, hard surface flooring is not maintenance-free and it still needs deep cleaning.  Flooring can harbor bacteria on its surface, especially in and around bathrooms and if shoes are regularly worn across it.  Learn more about what lives on the bottoms of our shoes here.

Appearance – A professional cleaning can drastically improve the look of your flooring, especially if it is in a high traffic area.

Longevity – Dirt and soils are abrasive and, over time, will affect the longevity of your flooring.  A professional, deep cleaning will extract and remove deeply embedded dirt and soils, which will increase the life of your flooring.
