Despite its excellent durability, luxury vinyl tile can still get scratched. Micro-scratches are essentially damage, which is unsightly, and scratched floors can develop a dull appearance over time. And since LVT cannot be sanded and refinished, as is the case with hardwood floors, you’ll want to do your best to maintain them so they last as long as possible. In this article, we’ll discuss how to clean luxury vinyl floors using a simple daily/weekly/monthly cleaning routine.

Dust-mopping, a.k.a. dry-mopping your floors regularly, using a microfiber mop for luxury vinyl floors with a microfiber dusting pad, helps protect against scratches, as it attracts and locks away dirt, debris, allergens and other particles.
