Luxury Vinyl Care & Maintenance

Frequent care and maintenance of your luxury vinyl tiles and planks can be quickly built into your overall home cleaning routine, so it won’t feel like a chore!

For daily upkeep, sweep, dust mop or use a manufacturer approved vacuum cleaner without a beater bar.
Place all heavy furniture on protective mats to avoid any scratches.
Also place entry or doormats at the entrance to the room to avoid tracking outdoor dirt and soil across your flooring.

Cleaning Solutions & Stain Removal

If your flooring needs more than just a dry surface clean, use a manufacturer approved cleaning solution like Shaw R2X Hardsurface Floor Cleaner and follow their guidelines. For most approved cleaning solutions, you just need to spray and wipe dry without any unnecessary rinsing or washing.
