Many of today’s resilient (vinyl) flooring is 100% waterproof
This makes vinyl a great flooring choice for bathrooms, dens, and kitchens. Although many manufacturers offer water resistant technology built into the plank and tile finish, it is important to wipe away water spills as quickly as possible.

Brandt Carpet & Tile experts put together the following tips on how to care for your new luxury vinyl tiles and planks.

Care and Maintenance
Short on time? Frequent care and maintenance of your luxury vinyl tiles and planks can be quickly built into your overall home cleaning routine! For daily upkeep, sweep, dust mop or use a manufacturer approved vacuum cleaner without a beater bar. Place all heavy furniture on protective mats to avoid any scratches and place entry or doormats at the entrance to the room to avoid tracking outdoor dirt and soil across your flooring.

Luxury Vinyl Stain Removal
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.
For the common household spills, mop up with a micro-cloth and once dry, follow up with a manufacturer approved hard surface floor cleaner to keep your floors looking great! For tougher household messes like wax, gum, or nail polish, consult with the manufacturer guidelines for approved stain removal tips.
