Cleaning luxury vinyl planks

10 years ago

We are thinking of putting the luxury vinyl planks throughout our house, except for the bedrooms. The directions I've read just say to sweep, but we live on a ranch and dirt gets tracked in, so it needs to be mopped weekly. Will it withstand the water?

It's supposed to be waterproof and is used in many commercial environments like grocery stores- should be fine!

Use a Swiffer. Easy, fast, and works. I used to use the Clorox equivalent, but was surprised to find the Swiffer is noticeably easier to use. You wouldn't think a slight angle to the handle would make that much difference, LOL, but it does.

There are two types of cloths, wet and dry. You'll want the wet ones. I have mine on Amazon auto-reorder.
