How to Keep Your Hardwood, Tile, and LVP Floors Clean in 2025
Your floors are one of the first things people notice when they enter your home, and keeping them clean is essential for preserving their beauty and longevity. Whether you have hardwood, tile, or luxury vinyl plank (LVP) flooring, each type requires a specific cleaning routine to maintain its appearance. At Renovation Flooring, we’ve got you covered with expert tips to keep your floors spotless in 2025.
1. Hardwood Floors
Hardwood floors are timeless and elegant but require gentle care to avoid damage.
• Daily Maintenance: Sweep with a soft-bristle broom or use a vacuum designed for hard floors to remove dust and dirt that can cause scratches.
• Weekly Cleaning: Mop with a microfiber mop and a wood-specific floor cleaner. Avoid using water or steam, as moisture can cause the wood to warp.
• Pro Tip: Use felt pads under furniture and rugs in high-traffic areas to prevent scratches.
2. Tile Floors
Tile flooring is durable and low-maintenance, making it a favorite for kitchens and bathrooms.
• Daily Maintenance: Sweep or vacuum to remove dirt and debris that can dull the surface.
• Weekly Cleaning: Mop with warm water and a pH-neutral cleaner to maintain shine and protect grout. Avoid harsh chemicals that can discolor the tile or grout.
• Deep Cleaning: Use a soft brush to scrub grout lines occasionally, and seal the grout every 1-2 years to prevent staining.
• Pro Tip: Use mats at entryways to trap dirt and moisture before it reaches your tile floors.
3. Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP) Floors
LVP floors are known for their durability and ease of maintenance, but they still need proper care to stay beautiful.
• Daily Maintenance: Sweep or vacuum to keep dirt and debris off the surface.
• Weekly Cleaning: Mop with a damp microfiber mop and a vinyl-safe cleaner. Avoid abrasive tools or cleaners that can scratch the surface.
• Pro Tip: Place furniture pads under heavy items to prevent dents and use rugs to protect areas exposed to direct sunlight, which can fade the finish over time.
Seasonal Cleaning Tips for Winter
Winter brings unique challenges like mud, moisture, and salt, which can wreak havoc on your floors:
• Use entryway mats to catch dirt and snow before it reaches your flooring.
• Clean up moisture immediately to avoid damage or slippery surfaces.
• Sweep and mop frequently to remove salt and debris that can scratch tile or hardwood and leave residue on LVP.
Protect Your Investment
Even with a regular cleaning routine, your floors can benefit from professional care:
• Hardwood: Schedule refinishing or deep cleaning to restore shine and remove buildup.
• Tile: Have grout professionally cleaned to remove stains and resealed for lasting protection.
• LVP: Use professional-grade cleaning products to maintain its vibrant finish.
