Do you have it? I've never had this in my house.
What do you clean it with? I've googled, but you guys are better than google as you have real experience! Google says I should use Apple Cider Vinegar/Water (warm but not hot) and a micro-fiber mop.
If you use a micro-fiber mop what type?
Whatever you use please share!
Thanks!

I use a wet swiffer mop. The the kind that spray water, the one where you put the wet pad on it.

I have luxury vinyl tile - and the installers said to use Windex.
I haven’t used that, but he said it works really well.

I have had mine for about 4 years now and love it. I have 3 dogs and it is still looking great. I even put it down myself in my bathroom. Easy peasy.
Now for cleaning I have been all over the board. Vacuum, wet swiffer and a couple of times my steam mop.

We have it in our classroom and it is wonderful, but no one knows what brand it was. We just use a swifter spray on it, never knew we should be more precious about it. |

I use the swiffer wet jet, but make my own cleaning solution.
We've had LVP in our bathroom for a little over two years, and in our living room, dining room and kitchen for close to two years.
The brand that the bathroom guy used is thicker, more durable and looks nicer than the ones used for the other rooms. It scratches easily, and is pretty thin.

I love mine, have had it for almost two years. Sales lady recommended an OCedar spray mop (cheaper than Swiffer) and to put two drops of Dawn dish soap in the water reservoir. I have done this and it cleans up well and still looks brand new.

We have it in our classroom and it is wonderful, but no one knows what brand it was. We just use a swifter spray on it, never knew we should be more precious about it. When we put ours down, it was pretty new stuff. We got the Allure brand from Home Depot. It has 2 really powerful adhesive strips on a long and short end. That is how you put it down. On top of whatever hard flooring you have. We took up carpet and just put it down over the cement foundation. I put it over tiling in the bathroom. It is also going to go into the kitchen over existing linoleum. There are other brands that I am sure that are just as good. And of course, I love all the newer colors you can get. Mine is a darker teak maybe? www.homedepot.com/p/ALLURE-ISOCORE-7-1-in-W-x-47-6-in-L-Silver-Silk-Click-Lock-Luxury-Vinyl-Plank-Flooring-18-73-sq-ft-case-I9103407/314177543 |

I use the O'cedar spin mop that I got at Costco and Zep ph cleaner. For in between mops I use a swiffer wet pad. I love the floor, but it's not as indestructible as I was led to believe, but I'd get it again.

We had it in our previous house for seven years, and when we moved, it looked as good as the day we put it in. We used Mannington Adura Max LVP in the living room, and LVT in the bathrooms and laundry room (just because we wanted a different look in those rooms). I would not hesitate to use it again!

We have it throughout the house and were told to clean with Bona floor cleaner.

Warm water with a little vinegar.
We have a Twist and Shout mop from Amazon. It's microfiber so it doesn't leave water on the LVP which is important so it doesn't seep into the cracks.
Use a Roomba or similar for normal use and something like the Twist and Shout for heavier duty cleaning.
And I know this sounds really weird--
but using the Twist and Shout is actually fun!

I had an O Cedar spray mop that I put a Norwex mop head onto. I would use plain water with about a tablespoon of white vinegar mixed into it for regular mopping. I mostly vacuum or use a Swiffer heavy duty dust mop to collect the dog hair first and then mop. For something really nasty I also have a spray bottle of Bona I sometimes use. The installation insert that came with the flooring said not to use most cleaners on it.

I use Bona and a microfiber mop (not sure what brand). I can't use a steam cleaner because the LVP is backed with cork. I miss using my Shark.

We have Core-Tec Plus LVP on our entire lower level and upstairs’ bathrooms. It’s held up great to two big dogs. We’ve had it for four years now. We have felt pads under every chair/appliance/furniture piece. Bona was recommended by the manufacturer and that’s all we use. Ours also has cork and the manufacturer said not to use a steam cleaner with it.

Yes we have it and it’s fab. Would highly recommend it. I vacuum then use a micro fibre mob and spray with a diluted Method floor cleaner.
