How to Clean
Your New Floors.

Beautiful floors stay beautiful with a simple weekly routine. Here's a quick, easy guide for each type of floor we install — what to do, what to use, and what to avoid. Not sure? Call us. We're happy to help.

Easy Routine

  • Sweep with a soft microfiber a few times a week.
  • Once a week, mop with a damp (not wet) microfiber.
  • Wipe spills right away so water doesn't sit on seams.

Safe to Use

  • COREtec One-Step or any cleaner labeled "safe for luxury vinyl."
  • A microfiber mop and a soft broom.
  • For scuffs: a drop of dish soap on a damp cloth.

Never Use

  • Steam mops — they lift the seams.
  • Wax, polish, or "shine" products — they leave a hazy film.
  • Bleach or rubber-backed mats — they damage and yellow the floor.

Easy Routine

  • Dust-mop with a soft microfiber to catch dirt before it scratches.
  • Wipe spills right away — water is hardwood's worst enemy.
  • Once a week, mop with a barely-damp microfiber and a hardwood cleaner.

Safe to Use

  • Bona Hardwood Floor Cleaner — the industry favorite.
  • Microfiber pads and soft cloths only.
  • Felt pads under furniture legs (replace twice a year).

Never Use

  • Steam mops or wet mops — they warp the planks.
  • Vinegar or other acids — they dull the finish.
  • Murphy's Oil Soap or wax polishes — they leave residue that won't come off.

Easy Routine

  • Sweep first — sand wears down grout faster than tile.
  • Mop weekly with warm water and a pH-neutral tile cleaner.
  • Squeegee shower walls after each use to keep soap scum away.

Safe to Use

  • Aqua Mix or any pH-neutral stone & tile cleaner.
  • A soft grout brush for stained lines.
  • Reseal grout every 1–2 years to keep stains and moisture out.

Never Use

  • Vinegar or lemon on natural stone — it etches in minutes.
  • Bleach on colored grout — it fades the color.
  • Steel wool or scouring powders — they scratch any tile.

Easy Routine

  • Vacuum often — daily in busy spots like hallways.
  • Blot spills right away with a clean white cloth. Never rub.
  • Have it professionally steam-cleaned every 12–18 months.

Safe to Use

  • Folex Spot Remover — safe on most fibers, no rinsing.
  • Resolve Pet Stain & Odor for pet accidents.
  • Mild dish soap and warm water for everyday spots.

Never Do

  • Rub a stain — it pushes the spill deeper.
  • Bleach or ammonia — they fade fibers and void warranties.
  • Hot water on blood, wine, or egg — heat sets the stain. Use cool water first.

Easy Routine

  • Dust-mop with a microfiber a few times a week.
  • Wipe spills right away so water doesn't sneak into the seams.
  • Once a week, mop with a barely-damp microfiber and a laminate cleaner.

Safe to Use

  • Bona Laminate Floor Cleaner or any pH-neutral laminate cleaner.
  • Microfiber pads — soft and gentle.
  • A pencil eraser lifts most heel marks.

Never Use

  • Steam mops — moisture swells the core.
  • Wet mops, buckets, or standing water.
  • Wax, polish, or oil soaps — they ruin the finish.
Reggie's Simple Rule

If you wouldn't pour it on a wool sweater, don't pour it on your floor. Stick to a warm-water, wrung-out microfiber and your floors will stay beautiful for years. Not sure about a product? Call us first — we're happy to help.
