Lvp problem

[BigG]

Hey there. Haven't been on here in years but here's my problem. I did a Lvp floor with a crb and neutral floor cleaner and customer complained about shiney line on floor.

I went back to inspect and looks to me crb brushes left shiney lines (polished) in random areas. Im guessing from the transition of front to back stroke.

I tested cleaners from the exact cleaner I used vinegar ect, nothing works. I found a melamine pad the might dull the finish back down. This is a matte finish floor.

Any thoughts? Has this happened to anyone?

Pic attached.

Have you considered the possibility that there was a topical finish on the floor?

 

[BigG]

No there isn't. Basically a brand new floor. I have a lot of experience removing floor finishes and there's definitely not one

Any chance your bristles are worn so low the bottom of your machine was rubbing against the floor?

 

[BigG]

No. The bristles are good. I use these just for lvp. So not much. I was thinking slight pause on the upstroke might have done it. Idk. It is rev wood. Which is always something to stay away from. I wasnt informed by the builder that it was this product. First time ive seen this.

The bottom if the line "select" series says it's not steam mopping safe, unlike the other 2 higher end options

I have Rev Wood at my Cape house

Was installed 2 months prior to purchase

Before we moved in the seller had a new refrigerator put in and there are long shiny lines in front of the appliance


Had them take off $2500 sale price for replacement


You scratched their floor

It’s vinyl… I don’t care what the manufacturer claims, this stuff is not durable enough to avoid removal of the factory applied finish
