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. If you have stains or spills, it’s important to clean them up immediately. A spray mop is the perfect tool for the job.

Use an effective vinyl floor cleaner to clean vinyl floors with a microfiber mop or spray mop. This weekly clean helps to remove any build-up that’s not removed by dry-mopping alone. For an uplifting burst of freshness, try Bona Hard-Surface Floor Cleaner Lemon Mint Scent.

Reach for your Bona PowerPlus Microfiber Deep Clean Pad to use with your Bona Spray Mop or Microfiber Mop for the extra power needed to break up heavier dirt and grime.

Following this simple daily/weekly/monthly cleaning routine is the best way to clean vinyl floors, keeping them free from scratches and looking great while helping to create a healthier and safer home environment.

For further vinyl floor protection, use floor mats and felt pads underneath your furniture. To renew your floor’s beautiful shine, use Bona’s vinyl floor polish as frequently as every two months.
