MAINTAINING YOUR LUXURY VINYL PLANK FLOORS

Regular Cleaning: Sweep or vacuum your LVP floors daily to remove dirt, dust, and debris, preventing scratches and buildup. Use a soft-bristled broom or vacuum with a hard floor setting to avoid damage. Avoid vacuums with beater bars or abrasive cleaning tools.

Damp Mopping: Damp mop your floors weekly to remove grime or sticky residues. Use a microfiber mop with a damp cloth and a mild vinyl cleaner or a mixture of warm water and dish soap. Avoid excessive water and harsh chemicals, which can damage the finish.

Address Spills Quickly: Clean spills immediately by blotting with a soft cloth or paper towel. For stubborn stains, use a mild vinyl cleaner or a vinegar solution (1 part vinegar to 10 parts water). Avoid harsh scrubbing and strong chemicals like bleach, which can discolor the surface.

Protect from Scratches and Damage: To avoid scratches, use felt pads or furniture sliders under furniture and rugs in high-traffic areas. Lift heavy furniture rather than dragging it. Avoid wearing high heels or placing sharp objects on the floor, as they can cause dents or punctures.

Sun Protection: While LVP is resistant to fading, prolonged sun exposure can cause color to fade, especially in lighter shades. Use blinds, shades, or curtains to reduce direct sunlight, and place rugs in sun-exposed areas. Avoid rubber-backed rugs, as they can cause discoloration over time.
