Very impressed with Sharon Leon from start to finish. Went looking for flooring and they were the last place that we visited. Simon was extremely helpful in the showroom and took the time to explain different options and the benefit to each one. Floor was fitted by Richard who made a fantastic job. Showed up when he was supposed to and talked me through the fitting process. Would definitely use again.

LVT Tips & FAQs

Just a few top tips and frequently asked questions about how to look after your newly installed LVT.

Cleaning Your New LVT Floor

LVT is extremely easy to clean. Simply sweep and vacuum regularly to remove any loose soil and dirt collecting on the floor. For more stubborn marks clean the floor with a non-abrasive floor cleaner. If cleaning the floor with a damp mop use luke-warm water and do not flood the floor with water as this can damage the tiles.

Soap based detergents and abrasive cleaners should be avoided if at all possible.

Avoid Dragging Furniture Across the floor

Avoid pushing or dragging large furniture across your floor. Dragging furniture across the floor is liable to scratch the flooring. At the very least use furniture sliders, but try to avoid any latex or rubber backed protectors as this is likely to cause discolouration of the flooring beneath.

Removing Stains from LVT

If in doubt, contact us. Using the wrong type of stain remover on your LVT can cause damage to the tile surface.

For most stains such as food or pet excrement, best results can be found by scrubbing the affected area with a full-strength vinyl cleaner, followed by a mixture of water and bleach (1 part bleach to 10 parts water).

For solvent based stains such as nail varnish or paint, in most cases the stain can be carefully peeled off. If in doubt contact us before using any other stronger method do removal.

Scuff marks from shoes and rubber furniture feet can be rubbed away with your finger. If this doesn’t work, contact us and we can recommend an approved cleaner.

How to avoid discolouration

Sunlight is the biggest culprit for the discolouration of any type of flooring. Direct sunlight over time will cause the colour of a floor to fade, to avoid this we suggest closing curtains wherever possible to shade areas of extreme sunlight.

Heat emitting appliances such as heaters can also cause discolouration. Try to avoid permanent sources of heat over your floor, and where unavoidable consider using a mat to help protect the surface.

Note: Use unbacked mats on LVT as the rubber backing can itself cause discolouration.
