- Jake's LVT Floor Cleaning Tips
Hello. I'm Jake with Robinson's Flooring, and today I'm going to talk to you about how to protect and maintain your vinyl plank or waterproof flooring.
So this vinyl plank waterproof category is still evolving, and it can be called LVT, LVP, SPC, WPC, any of these acronyms. If this is the floor you have, this video will pertain to you. This is a new category. It's a few years old now, and it's a very popular category. And the benefits of this category are that it's very good for active households. If you have kids or if you have pets, it can perform well for you. And the benefit also is that it can provide a consistent floor throughout your home. Kitchens, utility rooms, bathrooms are of no issue. So let me show you how to protect and maintain your vinyl plank or waterproof floors.
Cleaning Kit - Shaw R2x Vibrant Hard Surface Mop Kit
We recommend a pH-neutral cleaner. Shaw actually makes a product that works on most vinyl plank or waterproof floors. It's a multipurpose product, so it can be used on other floors as well. And to apply this product, you would use a mop. This mop has a microfiber pad on it. You spray this product directly to the microfiber cloth, or you can spray it directly to the vinyl plank or waterproof floor that you have. You then mop that floor. And it's as easy as that. This kit that you would get also has a dust mop. And so that dust mop would be used for just light dusting. And that would be done every other day or every few days. And this microfiber pad, a little heavier cleaning, would be used preferably weekly. That's recommended by most manufacturers.
Floor Protectors
Also, to prevent scratches and denting in your floor, we recommend using felt pads. These felt pads should be put at the bottom of chairs, dining room chairs, bar stools, ottomans, sofas, anything that's going to move. These floors are resilient, but they're not indestructible. So this is easy maintenance, easy protection for the floor. They come in different sizes, so get the appropriate size for the foot of those items. These can collect dust. These can collect debris. And they can be abrasive to the floor, so they should be replaced every one to two years.
Conclusion
These few basic tips will make your floors last and look beautiful for years to come.

Thank you so much for the video. We need to avoid using Steam cleaning too. The hot steam is actually doing more harm than good to SPC flooring. It is so serious that some damage that it causes are beyond repair.
I have adore max apex hilltop acorn that has been installed 3 months ago thoughout my home. It is absolutely wonderful. I realize there is a spray and I have some...I also have the Norwex mop for dry mop and for damp mopping .....I also am aware I can mix the correct portion of white vinegar and water to freshen up the floors. My question is can I put like a capful of lysol cleaner or pine oil in a gallon of water and feel comfortable that I am not going to harm or discolor the floor. I have called Mannington and they recommend the spray or white vinegar. Has anyone tried any light mixture of other products and is it okay to use it. I think it is as long as it is a very week solution. These floors are phenomenal and I am soooo very happy with them............just would like to use a fresh smell once and awhile . I totally realize no one can speak for the company ....I just want to know if anyone out there has used a little product to make the house fresh. Thank you all,
Try a few drops of an essential oil to give you the smell you want.
How do you disinfect this type of flooring?
Hello. I am working with luxury vinyl flooring that had a muddy flood after installation. It was swept but not washed for months. I think the home builders have let it sit too long. I need to now fix this and mopping is not working. How do you suggest I get these floors back to the original state. The beautiful brown floors seem grey and washed out. Thank you!!
did u figure it out
My vinyl plank floors are so dull!..they are very dark and they have very little to no shine. I just had them installed in July. I don't know what to do. I tried the Bruce cleaner, it's very strong as far as smell and it leaves a film. Then I tried vinegar with water and now my floors are much duller. Any advice?
Please let me know when you find out
Gotta rinse the floors. All these cleaners stay on the floor. They are all selling a product. Just rinse the solution off.
You didn’t mention anything about having a rug pad under rugs.
