Well I guess there is something to finally get some answers and know that we are not crazy. Our Mannington LVP is every thing that has been said above. It looks like this has been going on for years - is there nothing that can be done with these companies selling faulty products. We are just starting with our first claim, we have got $10,000 in new flooring that is difficult to keep clean, sounds like lots of hard labor to keep clean, and no recourse. So very upsetting. I posted on another thread the same message.
I wish I would have found this thread before spending $7500 on a New Coretec LVP floor. I feel like I want to cry. I'm 62 with breathing issues and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. I was looking to replace 55 yr old floors with something smooth, warm and easy to clean. I did tons of research but never heard about all these issues mentioned here. The installers left at 7pm last night and asked me to sign off on it. After being trapped in our office with 2 dogs for nine hours I was exhausted - but it looked ok so I signed. This morning in the light of daylight I could see deep scratches from appliances; big foggy areas that looked like a film with shoe prints in it, areas that appear stained, leveler all over my front door and landing and every dog print is leaving a paw mark. The floor feels like it has chalk on it. I thought - ok maybe its the grit left behind from the grinding of the leveler. I called the store to make them aware and they advised warm water and a soft cloth. Tomorrow is Easter Sunday. So that is what we will be doing. I have a follow up on Monday to pick up their cleaning product if that doesn't work. That is a LOT of area for me with COPD/CFS to be on my knees washing and buffing!! That's when I went looking for answers and found this thread. My heart sank. I'm old and just wanted one nice floor in my life that was easy to care for. I feel like I have been taken.
We had Johnson Hardwood"s Luxury Plank Vinyl flooring, Public House- whiskey sour installed by the builder after we looked at the product at a flooring center recommended by Johnson. We have lived in the house for exactly 2 years, and for the first year the flooring cleaned up nicely. In the beginning, I had contacted the "technical rep" for Johnson, and he recommended Rejuvenate LVF cleaner as it is low Ph. That is the only product I have used on the floor since we moved in. We loved the floor so much that we paid $7000 to have it installed in our lanai last year.
In the past several months, the floor in the main house is blotchy or spotty throughout, and it looks like certain areas have a film. We clean up water and spots immediately, but the spots continue to show when the floor is wet or dry. So far the lanai doesn't have the same problem, but it's only a year old now. I did report these issues to the technical rep at Johnson, and he wants we to contact the maker of Rejuvenate as that product is likely the cause of the spotting all over the floor. He also wants me to find out who the contractor bought the flooring from when the house was built, and I am to provide the name and contact info for the flooring contractor who installed the floor in the lanai last year. I have tried to take photos with my iphone, but only a few of the spots will show up. I clean this floor at least twice weekly with the Rejuvenate and I vacuum it daily as everything shows up on the dark floor. I know I am going to get the run around from the Johnson rep. I am so upset that we paid top dollar for what we thought was a quality flooring only to have it look like cheap vinyl flooring. I wish we had never heard of Luxury Vinyl Plank flooring.
