No, and it can dull the floors. Any luxury vinyl flooring, including tile (LVT) or plank (LVP), comes with an impenetrable finish.
The finish adds both extra shine and strength. Unfortunately, not only will the wax not be able to penetrate, but it can also damage the finish.
Here’s how to take care of your luxury vinyl
Luxury vinyl flooring is low maintenance. Sweep daily to get rid of dirt and soil. Both are sharp and can scratch the floors.
Mop every week or two with a manufacturer-approved cleaner. Instructions say to avoid waxy, shine-promoting products as they dull the floor!
While you're at it, don't think "more is better." Don't overwater or over-scrub.
Waterproof vinyl flooring is an engineered version of luxury vinyl with higher moisture protection and durability. Style and care instructions are the same, though.
What to do if you need an extra shine
The simple answer is to add a few drops of baby oil to your cleaning solution. If that doesn't work, though, seek the advice of a flooring professional.
