With the school holidays upon us and the warmer months in full swing, now’s the perfect time to refresh your cleaning routine. From bare feet and garden play to everyday comings and goings, this time of year brings its own kind of wear and tear.
Whether you’re preparing for a house full of visitors or simply enjoying a quieter pace, keeping LVT looking its best doesn’t take hard work, just the right approach. With a few simple habits and occasional deeper cleans, you can enjoy a floor that stays fresh, stylish, and summer-ready.
Get the most out of your Amtico with our easy-to-follow maintenance routine:
Light Upkeep, Big Impact
Dust and daily life can accumulate quickly, especially when people are coming and going more frequently. A quick sweep with a soft brush or dust mop each day will help protect your floor’s surface from grit and scratches. Once a week, go over the area with a damp mop and Amtico Maintainer; just make sure the mop is damp, not wet.
Try this: Work backwards in an ‘S’ motion and rinse your mop frequently for best results.

Spot Cleaning Made Simple
From spills to scuffs, life leaves marks. The good news? Our luxury vinyl tiles are built to handle them. If something spills, wipe it up straight away to prevent staining or slipping. Then clean the area with Amtico Spillage Remover and a soft pad, no scrubbing needed.
The same applies to light scuffs: simply apply the solution and gently lift the mark using a soft cloth or pad.
Quick reminder: Acting quickly on spills keeps your floor looking newer for longer.

Stop Dirt at the Door
One of the simplest ways to protect your LVT is to tackle dirt before it even gets inside. Our washable indoor mats are designed to trap grit and moisture at the door, helping to prevent scuffs and stains from entering your space. They’re especially handy during the sunny season when foot traffic tends to ramp up, whether from grubby feet, muddy paws or garden play.
