Holiday entertaining and cleaning is made easy with COREtec waterproof luxury vinyl floors. Renovate your space in time for your next get-together to shorten your before and after to-do list, so you can focus on spending more time with your guests (and less time stressing).
In this article, we'll explore how COREtec floors are designed for easy maintenance and how to clean them efficiently using a pH-neutral floor cleaner.
Holiday Entertaining Means Holiday Cleaning
The holiday season is a time for joy, laughter and cherished moments with your community of friends and family. If you’re planning on hosting this year, you know that a key part in preparing your home for any holiday get-together or special occasion is ensuring that your space is sparkling clean from top to bottom. The “bottom” is where COREtec shines (often literally).

COREtec Floors: Waterproof, Kidproof, Petproof – and “Holiday Proof!”
COREtec's 100% waterproof, kidproof, petproof luxury vinyl flooring is engineered to withstand life's everyday challenges. Our innovative waterproof constructions ensure that your floors are protected against the inevitable spills that come with entertaining – whether it's a spilled glass of wine during a holiday toast, a dropped plate from a well-meaning, independent kiddo or muddy paw prints from your festive furry companions.
If you’re wanting to “holiday proof” your home before the upcoming celebrations, here’s some additional information on the specific benefits of each of our waterproof flooring collections to get you started:
- COREtec Scratchless styles come with best-in-class scratch protection. These are the floors we recommend most for homes with pets or bustling dining rooms.
- COREtec Originals styles provide comfort and warmth underfoot while simultaneously dampening sounds. If you’re looking for holiday tranquility, this is the floor for you.
- (Coming Soon!) COREtec Tile styles offer the look of tile without the hassle of real grout lines that are difficult to clean and stain easily. Our luxury vinyl tiles have integrated grout lines applied during product design, so you get all the beauty with no hassle.
- COREtec Pro styles have enhanced dent and impact resistance, making them ideal for high-traffic areas like kitchens and entryways.
Easily Clean Your COREtec Floors
Cleaning COREtec floors is a breeze, thanks to our durable and low-maintenance designs. Follow these simple steps to keep your floors looking immaculate before, during and after your holiday celebrations:
- Sweep and Dustmop: Begin by removing loose dirt, dust and debris from your COREtec floors. Use a soft-bristled broom or a non-treated dust mop to gently sweep the surface.
- Damp Mop with Encore: Once sweeping is complete, it's time to give your floors a refreshing cleanse. We recommend using our Encore floor cleaner. This pH-neutral hard surface floor cleaner is specially formulated to clean and maintain your COREtec floors. Specific styles only are steam-mop approved.
- Voilà, You're Done: With just two simple steps, your COREtec floors will be spotless and ready to impress your guests. No need to invest in expensive cleaning products or complicated cleaning routines – Encore's powerful yet gentle cleaning action takes care of everything.
