Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT) & Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP) Care Tips
Sweep or dust mop daily.
Use a soft bristle broom or a dust mop to remove loose dirt.
Wipe up spills as quickly as possible.
Spills that are not cleaned quickly are harder to remove and can cause permanent damage to your flooring.
Damp-mop as needed with clean water and a nonabrasive floor cleaner.
Harsh cleaning chemicals should not be used on luxury vinyl flooring.
Use protective pads for furniture and appliances to prevent scratching.
Heavy furniture or appliances that are not moved often should be equipped with these protective pads, as well as items like dining room tables and chairs, end tables, cabinets, etc.
Never push, pull, or drag furniture across vinyl flooring.
Always lift and carry furniture. Vinyl flooring can easily be scratched or even ripped.
Use protective mats.
Place mats at entrances and exits to collect and trap substances that can be tracked in, such as dirt, sand, oil, grit, asphalt, and even driveway sealer. The constant tracking in of these substances can shorten the life of your vinyl flooring.
Don’t use a vacuum with a beater bar or brush.
A vacuum with a beater bar or brush can seriously damage your vinyl flooring by leaving scratches or ripping your vinyl flooring.
