How should I clean my luxury vinyl floor?

One of the many benefits of luxury vinyl flooring is low maintenance. While this floor doesn't require scrubbing, it does require regular (daily, if possible) sweeping and mopping at least twice a month. It's pretty straightforward, but some products can harm your floor; be sure to use a manufacturer-approved cleaner and avoid waxy, shine-promoting products that can damage the finish and dull the floor. 

One of the best cleaners comes from your pantry; combine apple cider vinegar and water; the vinegar is acidic enough to dissolve the dirt but not enough to damage the floor. Use mats protective furniture pads and wipe spills immediately; this is a waterproof vinyl,  but you don’t want the spills to set and stain; it’s a lot easier to remove a fresh stain than one that’s been around for a long time.

What is luxury vinyl flooring?

Luxury vinyl flooring is a stylish yet affordable product has remarkably realistic wood, stone, and tile images. All are taken with high-definition photography, so they're clear and vivid. Micro beveling and embossing add depth, dimension, and textured looks, such as wire-brushed, hand scraped, weathered, and distressed.

This 100% waterproof flooring and durable product is an obvious choice for the kitchen, bath, and other wet spaces. Still, the fashionable designs make it ideal for other rooms in the house, such as living or dining spaces, hallways, and bedrooms.

Are LVP and LVT part of this vinyl?

Yes. This is one of the design options for this vinyl. LVP is cut into planks to mimic hardwood, while LVT is cut into square, tile-sized pieces that can be used with or without grout. Many say the extra seams add even more to the realism.
