Yes, you can EVP floors. Sweep, vacuum, or dry mop the floor to remove loose dirt and soil before you move to wet mopping. When mopping, use a gentle, manufacturer-approved cleanser and avoid harsh chemicals, detergents, or abrasive cleaners that can damage your floor. Follow your manufacturer's instructions on cleaning and caring for your EVP flooring to prevent damage and get the most out of it for as long as possible.

EVP flooring has an average life span of 20 years; some types may last up to 30 years or more. The life span will depend on the product quality and the level of traffic in your home. For example, homes with pets, children, or heavy foot traffic are likely to experience more wear and tear on EVP floors than homes without. Make sure to budget for the cost to repair vinyl floors to help properly care for it and maintain it.

No, you don't have to install underlayment before you lay down the EVP floor because the bottom layer of EVP flooring, called the backing layer, typically serves the role of underlayment. The pre-attached underlayment on the EVP floor is usually made of cork or rubber, which acts as a sound barrier and provides a cushion to make walking or standing on the floor more comfortable.
