Why homeowners choose luxury vinyl plank

• Realistic wood and stone looks at a practical price point.
• Water-resistant or waterproof construction (check each product's specs), which makes it a strong choice for kitchens, baths, laundry rooms and entries.
• A durable wear layer handles kids, pets and busy households.
• Quieter and softer underfoot than tile. Many products have an attached underlayment.
• Easy everyday cleaning with no waxing or refinishing.

Care tips

• Sweep or vacuum (no beater bar) to remove grit.
• Damp-mop with a pH-neutral cleaner made for vinyl or the manufacturer's recommended cleaner. Skip abrasive powders, wax and "mop and shine" products.
• Put felt or non-staining protectors under furniture. Rubber-backed mats can discolor some vinyl.
• Use window coverings in rooms with strong direct sun to limit fading and heat buildup.
• Wipe up spills promptly, even on waterproof floors, so water doesn't reach the walls or subfloor.
