Daily Luxury Vinyl Care

In the middle of a busy week, you will love how easy it is to care for your attractive luxury vinyl floors! The more preventative measures that you can take, the easier it is to keep your floors sparkling. Use mats by all entrances and encourage guests to scrape footwear before coming inside. During rainy or snowy weather, have all footwear removed by the door to prevent dirt, mud, moisture, ice, and slush from reaching the luxury vinyl surface. Also, use area rugs throughout the home as another layer of protection for your luxury vinyl floors against foot traffic and spills.

Life with Pets on Luxury Vinyl

Luxury vinyl floors are a great fit for a home with pets! Take these wise steps to make life with pets even easier:

  • Make sure to keep all nails and claws trimmed to prevent scratches.
  • Brush pets to reduce the amount of hair and dander.
  • Place food and water bowls for pets on mats with the appropriate backing for luxury vinyl floors.
  • A high-character texture, finish, or mixed-shade luxury vinyl floor will look fresher between cleanings.

Removing dirt and debris effectively is one of the biggest keys to preserving the appearance of your luxury vinyl floors! Dust-mop or sweep with a gentle bristle broom as frequently as possible to remove dirt, debris, dust, and pet dander before the particles become abrasive.

There's no need to stress over spills on luxury vinyl floors, just treat them as promptly as you can. Gently remove all solid material with a spoon and paper towels, and begin wiping up the spill with a dry, clean white cloth or paper towels. Start from the perimeter of the spill and work towards the center.

We recommend keeping a gentle vinyl-specific cleaner on hand to spot treat your floors when needed. When using a wet mop or Swiffer WetJet system on your luxury vinyl floors for an efficient deep clean, ensure that the floor dries in a timely manner afterward.
