How do I clean and care for my Luxury Vinyl Tile?

A dust-mop or broom can be used for daily maintenance. When necessary, clean with a moist cloth or mop and a neutral PH cleaner – heavy use of detergent cleaners will leave a residue and, over time, lead to a cloudy film. 

NEVER use floor polish or floor cleaning wax, oil soaps, etc. These products can damage and/or leave a film on the flooring. This is not a defect in the floor. 

TIPS:

  • Keep floors clean
  • Always use felt tip protectors on all furniture legs/feet
  • Entryway/walk off mats are recommended
  • Never use rubber protective mats
  • Area rugs are recommended
  • Keep pet nails trimmed
  • Exposed nails on sharp shoe-heels (e.g. high-heels) may damage floors
