To maintain the longevity of the luxury vinyl finish, consistency is key. Daily maintenance involves sweeping or vacuuming with a soft brush attachment to remove grit, which can act like sandpaper on the wear layer. When deep cleaning, use a manufacturer-approved, pH-neutral flooring cleaner diluted in water. Apply with a damp, not wet, microfiber mop. Never use steam cleaners, as high heat and moisture can penetrate seams and weaken adhesives or cause warping. Avoid waxes, polishes, and detergents, as these products leave a residue that attracts dirt and creates a dull appearance over time.
