How to Maintain Vinyl and LVT Flooring
Vinyl flooring and Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT) are among the easiest types of flooring to care for, but they still require a bit of TLC to keep them looking their best. Here are some simple tips for maintaining your vinyl and LVT floors:
-
Preventative Measures: Use doormats at entryways to reduce the amount of dirt and debris tracked onto your floors. This simple step can help prevent scratches and extend the life of your flooring.
-
Floor Protectors: When placing heavy furniture, be sure to use padded floor protectors under the legs of chairs and tables. This will help prevent any tearing or indentations in your vinyl or LVT flooring.
-
Regular Cleaning: For everyday maintenance, a damp mop and warm water are usually sufficient to keep your floors clean. For an extra shine, you can use a mild cleanser that is safe for vinyl surfaces. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the finish.
-
Spot Cleaning: If spills occur, wipe them up promptly with a soft cloth or paper towel to prevent staining.
-
Avoid Excessive Moisture: While vinyl and LVT are water-resistant, it’s best to avoid soaking the floor with excess moisture. When mopping, ensure your mop is damp rather than soaking wet.
By following these simple care tips, you can ensure that your vinyl and LVT flooring remains beautiful and functional for years to come. If you have any questions or need further advice, our customer service team is always here to help!
