Expert Floor Cleaning for Laminate, Vinyl, and Plank Surfaces
Restore the Clean, Natural Look of Your Floors
Vinyl, laminate, and modern plank floors are popular for a reason—they’re durable, stylish, and easier to maintain than many other surfaces. But over time, everyday use leaves behind buildup, streaks, and grime that mopping alone can’t remove. That’s where we come in.
At Elite Carpet Care, we provide safe, low-moisture floor cleaning services that lift sticky residues, restore clarity, and help protect your flooring’s lifespan. Whether you’re cleaning up after a remodel, prepping for guests, or just staying ahead of the wear, we’re here to help.

Our Floor Cleaning Process
Dry Soil Removal
We start by removing dust, grit, and dry debris that can scratch or dull your flooring—especially textured vinyl and laminate surfaces.
Floor-Safe Pre-Treatment
A gentle, surface-appropriate solution is applied to loosen residue, oils, and soils without oversaturating your floors.
Light Agitation
In areas with buildup, we use gentle motion to lift grime from the grain, texture, or seams—especially in LVP and sheet vinyl.
Low-Moisture Rinse
We rinse and extract surface soils with a controlled, moisture-limited process—no puddles, no oversaturation.
Speed Drying
To reduce risk of warping or haze, we use air movement to promote fast, even drying—so your floors are ready quickly.
Why Floor Cleaning Is More Than Just Mopping
Even the most durable vinyl and laminate floors collect residues over time—cleaners, oils, foot traffic, and pet messes all leave behind buildup that dulls the surface and attracts more dirt. Traditional mops often push this grime deeper into seams and textured grain patterns.
Our floor cleaning process removes this embedded residue, reduces slippery buildup, and restores clarity to your floor’s finish—without oversaturating the surface.
Regular professional cleaning helps extend the life of your floors, prevents odor retention, and creates a healthier space for families, pets, and guests.

Cleaned laminate flooring with visible clarity and shine restored—no streaks, haze, or residue.
Surfaces We Clean in Your Home
Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP)
LVP is one of the most common floors found in open living spaces, hallways, and kitchens. We remove grime from textured grain and seams without oversaturating.
Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT)
Often used in bathrooms, laundry rooms, and basement areas, LVT offers a tile-like look with less maintenance. We clean between beveled edges and remove cloudy buildup.
Sheet Vinyl
Found in kitchens, older bathrooms, and utility rooms, sheet vinyl needs gentle cleaning to prevent surface damage while lifting grease and foot traffic buildup.
Laminate Flooring
A popular choice in bedrooms, living rooms, and multi-use spaces. Our low-moisture method helps protect the laminate core and prevent swelling or haze.
Engineered Hardwood (No Sanding)
For prefinished and engineered floors that can’t be refinished, we offer a clean-and-polish service to refresh the look and safely lift residue from the surface.
Commercial Floors We Clean by Industry & Use Case
Vinyl Composite Tile (VCT)
Common in medical clinics, retail stores, and schools. These floors need regular cleaning to prevent wear and keep a clean, polished appearance.
LVT & Plank Floors
Popular in office suites, waiting rooms, and coworking spaces. We clean and protect textured surfaces without disturbing seams or adhesive.
Rubber & Safety Flooring
Found in gyms, locker rooms, and assisted living facilities. We remove built-up grime without compromising slip resistance or causing surface shine.
Sheet Vinyl
Used in cafeterias, break rooms, and commercial kitchens. Cleaning focuses on edges and seams where grime and moisture can accumulate over time.
Engineered & Prefinished Wood
Seen in conference rooms, law offices, and hospitality spaces. We clean and preserve the surface without sanding or risking finish damage.
