Care & Maintenance for Glue Down LVT Flooring
Follow these guidelines to keep your luxury vinyl tile flooring looking beautiful for years to come
Daily cleaning
Sweep, dust mop, or vacuum regularly to remove dirt and debris. Use a soft-bristle broom or vacuum without a beater bar to prevent scratching.
Weekly mopping
Damp mop with a pH-neutral cleaner specifically designed for LVT flooring. Avoid excessive water and always wring out the mop thoroughly.
Spill management
Clean up spills immediately to prevent staining or moisture damage. Blot liquids with a clean, dry cloth and clean the area with appropriate cleaner.
Protective measures
Use furniture pads under heavy items and place mats at entryways to trap dirt. Avoid dragging furniture across the floor to prevent scratches.

Maintain indoor humidity levels between 35-65% to prevent expansion or contraction

What to avoid
Never use abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or scouring pads. Avoid wax-based products, oil-based cleaners, or steam mops as these can damage the wear layer and void your warranty. Do not use ammonia or bleach-based cleaners.
