LVT (or luxury vinyl tiles) is well known for being super easy to maintain, care for and keep clean – making it the ideal option for many homes, whether it’s a busy family home with pets and children or a small apartment with only one occupant. To keep LVT flooring looking great at all times, we need to give it a bit of care and attention to keep it looking its best. Giving it a regular clean is essential to maintaining its appearance, as well as ensuring that it lasts you for many years to come. 

We have put together this post, to give you our ultimate guide to caring for your LVT flooring. LJV Carpets & Flooring are the premier flooring installation company in Leigh, offering customers high-quality flooring at unbeatable prices for both domestic and commercial uses.

  • Gently Sweep or Vacuum Your Floor Regularly

LVT flooring is very easy to keep clean and maintain, and the best way to do this is by gently sweeping or vacuuming your flooring regularly especially in high-traffic areas where dirt and dust will settle. This will allow you to remove loose debris, dust and dirt from your floor, and keep your flooring looking as clean as possible as well as hygienic. You can do this as much as you want, judging by how much foot traffic your flooring gets and how busy your home is.

  • Carefully Mop or Wipe Your Floor Once a Week

You also want to carefully mop or wipe your floor once a week, to get rid of any stains. Make sure that you use a damp cloth or a microfibre mop, and that you opt for a specifically designed cleaner for LVT flooring that won’t harm your flooring or ruin it. You want to make sure never to have standing or pooling water, as this can damage it.

  • Protect it With Door Mats and Rugs

We also recommend protecting your flooring. One of the best ways to do this is by putting doormats and rugs by doors where there is a lot of foot traffic, to reduce the chance of dirt being spread around your home and onto your tiles. This will stop your flooring from getting so dirty, and keep it looking as fresh as possible so that you have to do minimal work when the time comes to clean it. 

  • Treat your Floor with Care

You need to make sure to treat your flooring with care. Ensure that you lift furniture when you need to move it, and that you don’t drag or push it along the floor as this can scratch your flooring. Also, we recommend putting felt on the legs of your furniture to not scratch your flooring, and ensuring to wear soft-soled shoes when walking on your flooring to keep it in its best condition.
