CARE & MAINTENANCE

For routine cleaning, sweep or dry dust mop your luxury vinyl floors regularly to remove dirt, dust, and abrasive particles. A soft-bristle broom or a microfiber dust mop is ideal for this. For a deeper clean, occasionally use a damp (not wet) mop with a cleaning solution specifically formulated for vinyl or a pH-neutral cleaner. Avoid using excessive water, as standing liquid, though often tolerated by waterproof vinyl, can sometimes seep into seams over time or cause issues with the subfloor underneath.

Prompt action is key when spills happen on luxury vinyl floors. Immediately wipe up any spills with a clean, dry cloth to prevent potential staining or residue buildup. For most common spills, a slightly damp cloth can be effective. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or steel wool, as these can damage the protective wear layer and dull the finish.

Extend the life and beauty of your luxury vinyl flooring with proactive steps. Place entryway mats at all exterior doors to capture dirt, grit, and moisture before it reaches your floors. Use felt pads or protective glides under the legs of all furniture to prevent scratches and dents when items are moved. Avoid wearing shoes with spikes or sharp heels directly on the floor. Never wax, polish, or refinish luxury vinyl floors, as this can damage the factory finish and void warranties.
