The easiest floor to maintain — here's how to keep it looking new
Luxury vinyl plank (LVP) and luxury vinyl tile (LVT) are among the easiest floors in the world to maintain. They're 100% waterproof, stain-resistant, and require only basic care to look great for 20–30 years. LA Flooring provides this guide for all Central Florida customers after installation.
Consistent care is the single best way to protect your flooring investment. Follow this routine to keep your vinyl (lvp/lvt) floors looking like new for years to come.
Quick habits that protect your floors every day
Deeper care steps to do once a month
These common mistakes can permanently damage your flooring. Keep this list handy.
Steam mops — heat can warp the wear layer of vinyl
Wax or polish products — LVP does not need and should not receive wax
Abrasive scrubbers that can scratch the wear layer
Rubber-backed mats — rubber can permanently stain vinyl; use felt or fabric-backed rugs
For best results, use products specifically formulated for vinyl (lvp/lvt) flooring. Our team recommends: Bona Stone, Tile & Laminate Floor Cleaner, or a dilute solution of dish soap and warm water. Avoid oil-based or wax-based cleaners.

Vinyl plank flooring (LVP) is the lowest-maintenance flooring choice available — it handles spills, pets, and daily traffic with ease. The key rules: sweep regularly to remove grit that could scratch the wear layer, avoid steam mops, and skip the wax and polish products. For deeper cleaning, a pH-neutral cleaner and warm water is all you need to keep LVP looking brand new.
