Daily Maintenance

Sweep or vacuum daily in high-traffic areas to remove dirt and grit that can act as sandpaper on your floor's surface. Use a soft-bristle broom or a vacuum set to the hard floor setting (no rotating beater bar, which can scratch).

Weekly Cleaning

Damp mop weekly with a neutral pH cleaner specifically designed for LVP or vinyl floors. Avoid steam mops — the heat can damage adhesive and warp planks over time. Use the minimum water necessary — a "damp" mop, not a wet one.

What to Avoid

• Steam mops: Heat can damage LVP planks and loosen adhesive
• Wax or polishing products: LVP has a built-in finish that doesn't need waxing — added wax creates buildup and dulls the floor
• Ammonia-based cleaners: Damages the wear layer over time
• Harsh scrubbing pads: Can scratch the wear layer
• Excessive water: Though LVP is waterproof, standing water at seams can eventually seep under the floor

Protecting Your LVP

• Place felt pads under all furniture legs
• Use doormats at all entrances to catch grit and dirt
• Avoid dragging heavy furniture — use moving sliders
• Keep pet nails trimmed to minimize scratches
• Use area rugs in high-traffic zones

Handling Spills

Wipe up spills immediately with a clean, absorbent cloth. LVP is waterproof, but prompt cleanup prevents residue and reduces the chance of liquid seeping under planks at seams.
