How do I remove water spots on my new vinyl plank flooring?

Question

Bought a brand new vinyl plank flooring. When I mopped with Mop & Glow it left stricks and water spots. How can I remove those water spots. Already tried Lysol All purpose with ammonia mixed in water and that did not remove the water spots. This problem only happened in one section of the flooring the rest is ok. Please advise.

I don't believe that you are supposed to use mop and glow on vinyl plank flooring you are probably going to have to remove the mop and glow but I would contact the manufacturer to see what products you can use on it. My Vinyl plank flooring tells you which products not to use and what you can use. Hope you can resolve this without too many issues. Good luck.

I would try vinegar. I just saw a neighbors plank flooring and it was all greasy and smudgy looking. I know her cleaning ladies used the wrong product on it. It looked awful.

It looks like that is where you initially applied the Mop and Glow. I would contact the manufacturer or check paperwork that came with the flooring before I would try anything that could do further damage.

Directions that came with my LVP said to use water and vinegar. After two years of living with my floors, I now use water, cleaning vinegar and a squirt of blue Dawn.

We we have four dogs that go in and out the doggy door all day, and my floors stay nice looking.

I think you need to call the manufacturer. I would not use Mop and Glow or Holland House on LVP or Laminate or anywhere else for that matter. You are going to have to remove the mop and glow which is going to be a bear.

I have vinyl plank flooring I was told not to use mop and glo, or any other floor cleaner. The flooring company gave me a spray by Amstrong no smells you spray and use a wet mop only. Floors are cleaned afterwards

Yes call Technical Support at the manufacturer. This shouldn’t happen.

I have a house cleaning service and I was told by a flooring company to use Bona floor cleaner for vinyl , stone and laminate. Not the Bona wood floor cleaner. I have that flooring in our basement and use Bona. It works great, natural cleaner, so odors, no streaks.

No one wants to have to scrub away stubborn water spots on their new vinyl plank flooring. The best way to avoid this is to dry your floor with a towel or use a wet mop to remove any excess water from the surface. However, if you find yourself with a stubborn water spot, try this! Pour a little rubbing alcohol on the spot and rub it in with a cotton ball. Let it sit for a few minutes and then wipe it up with a clean, dry cloth. You can also use a paper towel to blot the spot.

A great cleaning solution for vinyl flooring is apple cider vinegar. It contains acid that helps remove dirt and grime, without leaving behind soap buildup. Mix a cup of vinegar with one gallon of hot water and mop the floor with it. You can also use white vinegar if you don't want to use apple cider. If you don't have any apple cider vinegar at home, you can use liquid dish detergent or baby oil to add shine to your new flooring.
