Mohawk’s SolidTech collections — Essentials, Plus, and Premier — are designed to bring style, durability, and performance to your home. While each line has its own unique features, the care and maintenance practices are the same across all SolidTech LVP. With just a little routine cleaning and a few preventative steps, you can keep your floor looking beautiful for years to come.

Daily Cleaning & Maintenance

Regular cleaning is the best way to maintain your SolidTech LVP floors.

• Sweep or vacuum often using a soft-bristle broom or a vacuum made for hard surfaces. Avoid vacuums with beater bars, as they can damage the surface.
• For deeper cleaning, damp-mop with warm water and a neutral pH cleaner that is safe for vinyl floors.
• Wipe spills promptly with a soft cloth to prevent staining or damage.

Protection & Prevention

A few simple habits will help protect your floors from wear and tear.

• Use non-staining felt pads (at least 1 inch wide) under all chairs and heavy furniture.
• Place non-rubber-backed mats at entryways to catch dirt and grit before it’s tracked inside.
• Always lift, never drag, heavy furniture or appliances when moving them.
• Avoid exposing your floors to very hot items, like matches or cigarettes, and minimize prolonged direct sunlight to reduce the chance of fading.

What to Avoid

Certain cleaning methods and products can harm your SolidTech floors.

• Do not use wax, polish, oil soaps, ammonia, vinegar, bleach, or citrus-based cleaners.
• Avoid abrasive pads, scrub brushes, or steam mops.
• Never flood the floor with water — too much moisture can damage the seams.

Temperature & Environment

SolidTech floors are engineered to handle a wide range of conditions, but maintaining a stable environment helps maximize performance.

• During acclimation and installation, keep indoor temperatures between 55–85°F.
• After installation, SolidTech floors can tolerate a range between 0–140°F, making them ideal for Texas homes and beyond.
• Allow floors to acclimate for 48 hours in the installation area before starting the project.

Built-In Protection

SolidTech LVP comes with Mohawk’s WetProtect® waterproof technology and EasyClean® stain protection, giving you peace of mind against spills, messes, and daily life. These features make SolidTech one of the most family-friendly and pet-friendly floors available today.
