Karndean flooring - what floor mop?

[AalyaSecura]

We've just put karndean down across all of our downstairs - very happy with it, it looks great! And I've bought myself a Neato robot vacuum cleaner which has been working brilliantly to clear dust and bits (and Christmas tree needles, thankfully no more!). But I'm using my old mop and bucket, and it's time consuming, too much like hard work, and not that great at cleaning the parts of the floor that get especially muddy.

I know karndean don't recommend steam cleaners - anyone had a problem with a steam cleaner and karndean/other LVT? My neighbour happily steam cleans hers. And if I stick to their recommendation and don't steam clean, what are the best floor cleaning options out there that are quick and work?

TIA!

Hi
I have a Karndean floor and been steam cleaning it for 7 years and it's fine. I do strip it back and apply the sealant they recommend every 2-3 years though. But, it's fine.

I use one of those sponge pad mops with the almond scented Method squirty floor cleaner. Looks lovely and smells gorgeous!

Our new house has kardean and the old one had tiles so I'm used to my steam mop. I just make sure I keep the steam mop moving. Works well but I only do it as I own a steam mop. If I was buying new I'd get the Lakeland one that has the spray bit.

I use an emop with hot water and sometimes a drop of disinfectant.

Thanks all - have decided to play it safe for now and get an emop, not too expensive if I hate it! It's got to be better than a mop and bucket.

My Karndean floor has been down for 8 years now and still good. Never had it sealed as I knew I wouldn’t bother with the stripping and reselling. I use an e mop, normal vacuum and I stream clean it at least once a week .
