The Ultimate Guide to LVT and LVP Flooring: Benefits, Maintenance, and Professional Care

Hey there, Treasure Valley! It’s time to talk about those beautiful LVT (Luxury Vinyl Tile) and LVP (Luxury Vinyl Plank) floors that are taking over homes and businesses across Meridian, Boise, and beyond. At Kung Fu Carpets and Cleaning Co., we’ve got a black belt in floor care, and we’re here to give you the lowdown on these popular flooring options.
What’s the Big Deal with LVT and LVP Flooring?
LVT and LVP flooring have become the talk of the town, and for good reason! These modern marvels offer a perfect blend of style, durability, and affordability. Here’s why they’re kicking up a storm in the flooring world:
Looks That Kill: LVT and LVP can mimic the appearance of hardwood, stone, or ceramic tile with uncanny realism. You get the high-end look without the high-end price tag.
Tough as Nails: These floors are built to withstand the daily karate chop of life. They’re resistant to scratches, dents, and stains, making them perfect for high-traffic areas and homes with pets.
Water-Resistant Warriors: While not completely waterproof, LVT and LVP handle moisture much better than traditional hardwood, making them a great choice for kitchens and bathrooms.
Easy on the Wallet: Get the look of premium flooring materials at a fraction of the cost. Your bank account will thank you!
DIY-Friendly: Many LVT and LVP products feature click-lock systems, making installation a breeze for the handy homeowner.
Maintaining Your LVT and LVP Flooring: The Kung Fu Way

Just like a martial arts student needs to practice maintaining their skills, your LVT and LVP floors need some TLC to keep them looking their best. Here’s how to keep your floors in fighting shape:
Daily Sweep or Vacuum: Kick dirt and debris to the curb before they can scratch your beautiful floors.
Weekly Damp Mopping: Use a manufacturer-approved cleaner to keep your floors shining bright.
Use Protective Pads: Slap some felt pads on your furniture legs to prevent scratches and dents.
Mind the Gap: Leave a small expansion gap around the edges of your room during installation to allow for natural expansion and contraction.
Temperature Control: Keep your indoor temperature consistent to prevent excessive expansion or contraction of the planks.

Carpet Protectant

We are excited to introduce another new service — carpet protectant! After a thorough cleaning, we offer to apply this innovative product to your carpets. It acts as an invisible shield against spills and stains. Imagine your carpet fibers being wrapped in an invisible barrier that repels liquids and dirt, keeping your floors looking fresh and clean for much longer. This protectant works by preventing spills from seeping into the fibers, giving you extra time to blot them up before they cause any permanent damage. This product can extend the life of carpets, keeping them in “like-new” condition and saving customers from costly replacements.
