🏡 Welcome to Easy Floor Care!
Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP) floors are a dream—affordable, water-resistant, and stylish enough to mimic hardwood without the fuss. But how do you keep them looking fresh without accidentally damaging them?
Whether you’ve just moved into your new place or finished a flooring upgrade, here’s your go-to guide on how to clean your LVP floors the right way.
🧹 Everyday Cleaning: Keep It Simple
You don’t need fancy tools or intense scrubbing. For daily upkeep:
- – Sweep or vacuum 2–3x a week
Use a soft-bristle broom or a vacuum with the beater bar turned off to prevent scratching. - – Use a dry microfiber mop
Great for grabbing dust, pet hair, and crumbs in seconds—no water needed.
🧽 Weekly or As-Needed Deep Cleaning
Got sticky spots or just want that extra shine? Here’s how to mop LVP safely:
- – Use a damp mop, not a soaking wet one.
- -Choose a pH-neutral floor cleaner made specifically for vinyl (Bona, Zep, etc.).
- – Avoid steam mops—they can warp the planks over time due to heat and moisture.
🚫 What NOT to Use on LVP Floors
Even though LVP is durable, certain cleaners and tools can damage the finish:
- – No steam mops
- – No abrasive scrub pads or brushes
- – No ammonia or bleach
- – No wax or polish (LVP already has a protective topcoat)
- – No soaking the floor with water
👟 Keep Your LVP Floors Looking Brand New
It doesn’t take much to maintain beautiful, long-lasting vinyl plank floors. A little consistency, gentle cleaning products, and the occasional deep clean will keep them looking brand new.
