Part of our remodeling project is ripping out all carpet and replacing with LVP flooring.  For those of you who have this type of flooring, what is the best way to keep it clean?

We just put in that flooring in June of 2020.

We went out and bought a Swiffer. My husband uses a dry cloth and then goes over it with their wet cloths.

The gentleman who was the installer andthe gentleman who was the rep for the flooring company both told us this was the way to clean the LVP that was installed in our home.

We’ve had Coretec luxury vinyl plank flooring in our kitchen that looks like hardwood for a couple years. I just use a spray bottlle of water and a microfiber head mop to clean it.  I really like my flooring but it can mar or dent so I have several extra pieces stored away just in case a plank gets damaged.

I pulled up my carpet and found gorgeous hardwood floors. I scrubbed with Dawn dishsoap in water to get the yuck off and then used a wood floor cleaner. Since then, I have used Swiffer Wet.

Hello...we went with commercial grade LVP as recommended by our floor guy. This house gets more traffic than a walmart, so made sense to us. It's reinforced with slate and is pretty thick. It's a beautiful floor and we clean it with a swiffer or a microfiber mop and a spray bottle of vinegar/water mix. I just love it.

I put this in my bathroom--and just mopped it with regular cleaner and water--nothing fancy needed----

@wagirl  In a bathroom where you may find splashe of water, or wet feet from shower or bath, do you find this type  of floor any more or less slippery that other types of flooring? Thanks.

Damp mop with water and a good splash of vinegar.
