Luxury vinyl flooring (LVF) has a clear polyurethane finish that adds extra shine and strength. It's not necessary to wax and may, in fact, even dull the floors.
Wax damages the finish
The finish, in addition to the wear layer, protects the floor from scratches and scuffs. Waxy substances will wear the finish away.
That makes it even more prone to damage. If that's not bad enough, it also leaves a dull build-up.
The importance of regular sweeping
Sweep or vacuum (without beater bars) twice a week or daily. Dirt and sand are sharp and can scratch the vinyl plank flooring or tile-sized pieces (two forms of luxury vinyl).
Also, you don’t want it to embed and pitt the floors.
Use only manufacturer-approved cleaners
Many popular ones can be wonderful for some flooring types but only for some. You can find manufacturer suggestions on the warranty or company website.
Remember– it's essential only to use cleaners that are manufacturer approved. You'll find them either on the warranty or the company website.
Some additional tips include:
