LVP (Luxury Vinyl Planks) and LVT (Luxury Vinyl Tile) are being installed in St. Paul and Minneapolis businesses and homes at a tremendous rate.

The durability and ease of installation make LVT and LVP a great choice for high traffic areas. Like all flooring, Luxury Vinyl Flooring is susceptible to the same wear and tear as it gets dirty from foot traffic. Dirt and sand on the flooring acts like sandpaper when it comes in contact with the bottom of someone’s shoes. This friction scrapes the flooring and removes its shine, eventually resulting in a dirty discolored look. Regular cleaning is the best way to prevent this from happening before it is too late.

 

So, how do you keep your Minneapolis and St. Paul Luxury Vinyl Flooring looking great for years to come?

 

First be sure to vacuum and Swiffer or mop regularly using Luxury Vinyl Floor cleaner, making sure not to leave standing water on the floor for long periods of time. This will greatly slow down the accumulation of dirt and soil that will stick to the flooring. You can focus most of your effort on the areas that get walked on, the other areas of the floor will accumulate dust that can vacuum up easily. 

 

Depending on the level of traffic your flooring receives, a professional cleaning should be performed quarterly or once a year. Commercial Steam Team uses the best equipment and solution for Luxury Vinyl Flooring and can be easily scheduled for a cleaning or added to your normal carpet and upholstery cleaning. 

 

How does the Luxury Vinyl Floor Machine Work? 

 

The Luxury Vinyl Floor Machine resembles a giant vacuum cleaner, but don’t be fooled!

The Luxury Vinyl Floor Machine is much more than a vacuum cleaner. The machine uses a combination of Luxury Vinyl Floor cleaner and a rotating brush to loosen and scrub soil off the flooring surface. Then a spinning brush reaches into the surface and small grooves in the floor scrubbing as much dirt and soil out as possible. The whole process is contained with squeegees and the dirt and grime is removed by strong suction leaving your flooring in the best shape possible for its current condition
