Luxury Vinyl Cleaning Solutions:
If your flooring needs more than just a dry surface clean, use a manufacturer approved cleaning solution and follow their guidelines. For most approved cleaning solutions, you just need to spray and wipe dry without any unnecessary rinsing or washing.
Luxury Vinyl Stain Removal:
For common household spills, wipe with a micro-cloth and once dry, follow up with a manufacturer approved hard surface floor cleaner to keep your floors looking brand new! When it comes to those tougher household messes like wax, gum, or nail polish, make sure you’re first consulting with your manufacturer guidelines for approved stain removal tips.
