VCT, LVT & LVP Cleaning and Polishing

VCT, LVT & LVP Cleaning and Polishing | Peoria and Central IL

Clean, Shine, and Protect Your Vinyl Floors

Trusted by homeowners and businesses across Peoria, IL since 1989

Vinyl flooring—including VCT, LVT, and LVP—is designed for durability and everyday use. But over time, these floors can lose their appearance, develop wear, and become harder to maintain.

Different types of vinyl require different care. Using the wrong methods can lead to dullness, buildup, or even damage.

At Personal Touch Service Solutions, we provide professional VCT, LVT, and LVP cleaning and polishing in Peoria and Central Illinois, using the right techniques to restore appearance, protect the surface, and extend the life of your floors.

Our Vinyl Floor Cleaning & Polishing Process

Each type of vinyl flooring requires a tailored approach. Our process is designed to safely clean, restore, and protect your floors based on their material and condition.

  1. Inspection & Evaluation – Identify floor type (VCT, LVT, or LVP) and condition
  2. Deep Cleaning – Remove dirt, grime, and surface buildup
  3. Stripping (for VCT when needed) – Remove old or worn finish layers
  4. Surface Preparation – Ensure proper bonding for finish or treatment
  5. Polishing / Finishing – Restore shine or enhance natural appearance
  6. Buffing & Burnishing – Improve smoothness and consistency (where applicable)
  7. Final Inspection – Ensure clean, uniform, and durable results

We adjust our methods depending on whether your floor requires coating, polishing, or surface-safe cleaning.

VCT vs LVT vs LVP — Why Proper Care Matters

Not all vinyl flooring is the same, and each type requires a different maintenance approach:

  • VCT (Vinyl Composition Tile) – Requires periodic stripping, finishing, and polishing to maintain protection and shine
  • LVT (Luxury Vinyl Tile) – Designed with a factory finish; requires specialized cleaning and maintenance, not heavy coatings
  • LVP (Luxury Vinyl Plank) – Common in homes; needs gentle but effective cleaning to maintain its appearance without damage

Using the wrong process can reduce lifespan and affect performance—professional care ensures the right method is used.

Common Vinyl Floor Problems We Fix

  • Dull or faded appearance
  • Scuff marks and scratches
  • Worn or uneven finish (VCT)
  • Dirt and grime buildup
  • Floors that still look dirty after cleaning
  • Loss of protective coating or surface clarity

Professional service restores both look and function.
