Laminate & LVT Floor Care

Post-installation dos and don'ts to protect your laminate and luxury vinyl floors for the long haul.

Recommendations after your project is complete

  1. Allow 12 hours before walking on the floor so the adhesive can fully dry.
  2. Remove all loose debris from the floor with a soft sweeping brush or dust mop.
  3. Ensure any traces of adhesive are removed by spot cleaning with the recommended routine cleaner.
  4. After the recommended wait time, damp mop with the routine cleaner (diluted as applicable) or a pH-neutral cleaner and let it dry.

Preventive maintenance / cleaning tips

  • Remove loose debris from the floor with a soft sweeping brush or dust mop.
  • Damp mop with the recommended routine cleaner (diluted as applicable). Do not use household cleaners, bleach, or dish detergent unless specifically formulated for floors — they can leave an oily residue that makes the floor slippery.
  • Mop up spills as soon as possible to keep spots from becoming stains. Stubborn stains can be spot cleaned with the recommended routine cleaner or basic stripper.
  • Use quality, non-rubber-backed entrance mats to protect against grit and other substances. Clean the mats regularly so they stay effective.

Product expectations

  • All hard floors can be slippery when wet. Take extra care when cleaning and let the floor dry completely before use.
  • Sliding or dragging furniture across the floor can cause permanent damage. Use load-bearing casters to protect against indentations from heavy items.
  • As with all resilient floor coverings, keep man-made rubber or latex material from touching the floor — it can cause permanent discoloration.
