How To Clean Your LVP Flooring To Keep It Looking New

Luxury Vinyl Flooring (LVF) continues to be a popular choice for busy households and commercial spaces alike because of its long-term durability and super low maintenance. With these tips and very minimal effort, your Luxury Vinyl Flooring will look new for years to come!

LVP does a pretty good job at hiding debris, but dirt can cause friction on your floors and will dull the surface over time. Use doormats to help keep dirt from being tracked into your home in the first place. Frequently sweep, dry mop, or vacuum your floors to get rid of the dirt before it gets ground in. This is something you should do on the daily. It will prevent scratches on the surface since dirt particles act like sandpaper against your luxury vinyl plank floors. If they do get scratched, you can try buffing the scratches out or replacing a plank with deeper markings.

Unlike real hardwood, your LVP floors don’t need to be waxed. Because of this, it’s important to use a cleaner that’s made for no-wax floors as well as the two-bucket system when mopping. Leftover cleaner can make dirt stick to your floors and ultimately dull the surface. Wash your floors with one bucket with the cleaner and one bucket with clean water that is warm, not hot. It’s also important to rinse your floor when done to ensure that any residue is gone.

Now that you know just how easy it is to keep your LVP floors in good shape, check out some of our favorite installs!

More people are living the minimalistic lifestyle, and this living room is a perfect example! The modern space features a monochromatic color scheme with a few pops of white. The Katella Ash Prescott LVP flooring in 7x48 planks features subtle grey tones and an authentic wood look with its realistic knots and grains. The coloring perfectly matches with the concrete fireplace and accent wall as well as the sofa. The area rug and floor pillow serve as a simple spot to sit, and because LVP comes with a pre-attached backing, the floor is much more comfortable than other materials. The minimal furniture also makes it easier to quickly clean the floors.
