Introduction

Luxury Vinyl Flooring is a popular option for homeowners, as it provides a beautiful look, high durability, and easy maintenance. Luxury vinyl is durable enough to withstand foot traffic and repeated mopping, but it does require some special attention to keep it looking good.

Sweep or vacuum regularly

Sweeping or vacuuming regularly is the best way to keep your floor looking great. Doing so will remove dust, dirt and debris that can scratch your floors, especially if you have hardwood floors. Use a dustpan and brush to clean up small spills on your vinyl flooring. If you have carpet, use a vacuum with a soft floor attachment or a vacuum that has both hard-floor and soft-floor attachments (this will allow you to vacuum both types of floors).

To avoid scratching your floor as well as get into corners and crevices, use one of these accessories:

  • Crevice tool – this allows you to get in between wall moldings
  • Universal wand – this accessory is great for reaching high areas if needed

Use floor protectors under furniture legs

  • Use floor protectors under furniture legs.
  • Protectors will help prevent scratches.
  • Protectors are available at home improvement stores.
  • They’re inexpensive and easy to install!

Wipe up spills immediately

To ensure your luxury vinyl floor is properly maintained, it’s important to wipe up spills as soon as possible. Use a damp cloth or paper towel to clean up any liquid messes. If you can get to the spill within five minutes of its occurrence, simply blot up the excess liquid with a clean cloth and then dry off the area with another piece of clean cloth or paper towel.

If you’re unable to do that immediately, first use paper towels and/or rags soaked in warm water (not hot) to soak up all of the excess liquid from your luxury vinyl tile floors. Once this has been done, allow them ample time to dry before proceeding further with any cleaning procedures. It’s also important not to let spills sit for long periods of time as they may permanently stain your luxury vinyl flooring if allowed enough time

Use a doormat at all entrances

Your doormat is the first line of defense against dirt, debris and mud from entering your home. In fact, it’s a good idea to have one at all entrances to your house. Doormats are also helpful for outside entrances.

Doormats should be cleaned regularly (once every two weeks) and can be washed with mild soap and water, then air dried away from direct sunlight.

Do not use abrasive cleaners or waxes on your Luxury Vinyl Floors

Do not use abrasive cleaners or waxes on your Luxury Vinyl Floors. These products can dull the finish of your flooring and make it look old.

  • Do not use vinegar or bleach on your Luxury Vinyl Floors. Vinegar contains acidic properties that will damage the flooring and bleach may cause fading to occur over time if used in excess amounts.
  • Do not use oil-based cleaners, ammonia (such as Windex), or other harsh chemicals on your Luxury Vinyl Floors. The liquid could seep through the open pores of the material causing discoloration or swelling of the surface layer of a floor that has been treated with these chemicals before installation by a professional company like us here at [company name]

Keep your luxury vinyl floors looking good by following these tips.

  • Sweep or vacuum regularly to keep your floors in good condition.
  • Use floor protectors under furniture legs to prevent scratches and scuffs on your luxury vinyl floors.
  • Wipe up spills immediately before they dry, which can leave a stain behind if you don’t act fast!
  • Use a doormat at all entrances to prevent dirt from being tracked into the home (and onto your lovely new floor!).
  • Avoid using abrasive cleaners or waxes on your luxury vinyl floors; these might cause damage over time and should not be used for routine cleaning of your floors.
