Luxury vinyl flooring is a popular choice for homeowners due to its beauty, durability, and ease of maintenance. But how do you keep your LVF floors looking their best?
Here at The Mission Collection, we want to empower you to care for your investment. Luckily, maintaining your luxury vinyl floors is a breeze! Follow these simple steps to keep your LVF sparkling:
Prevention is Key:
-
Doormats: Place walk-off mats at entrances to trap dirt and debris before it gets tracked onto your floors.
-
Furniture Protection: Use felt or floor protector pads under furniture to prevent scratches and scuffs.
-
Area Rug Caution: While area rugs can add style and comfort, avoid using natural or synthetic rubber-backed rugs that may discolor your vinyl floors.
Cleaning Routines:
Regular Dusting: Routinely dust mop or vacuum your LVF floors to remove loose dirt and debris. Pro Tip: When vacuuming, avoid using a beater bar attachment, or turn it off to prevent scratching the floor’s surface. Similarly, avoid using electric brooms with hard plastic bottoms.
Dealing with Spills:
Act Fast: Clean up spills immediately to prevent staining or damage.
Damp Mop Only: For routine cleaning, use a damp mop with cool water and a diluted neutral pH floor cleaner. You can also use a pre-made, residue-free spray cleaner specifically formulated for LVF.
What to Avoid:
Harsh Chemicals: Avoid harsh cleaners, chemicals, and abrasive scrubbing tools, as they can damage the floor’s surface and texture.
Mop and Shine Products: Skip the “mop and shine” products – they can leave a dull film on your luxury vinyl floors
Safety First:
Slippery When Wet: Like most smooth surfaces, LVF can become slippery when wet. Allow the floor to dry completely after mopping to avoid slips and falls.
