A Stains on vinyl flooring are usually not permanent. They only appear when a powerful chemical is left on the ground for too long. Obviously, it is something you will try to avoid.
At all times, wipe up any spilled dirt and fluid as soon as possible. Use acetone, or a special cleaning agent, to remove stubborn stains. Use a cloth to thoroughly clean the floor to make it completely clean again.

A The short answer is "no", since intense temperatures can make the LVT unstable. The long answer: it depends on the device you're using, the quality of the steam, the heat and steam distribution pattern, etc. If you really want to steam clean your vinyl floor, it's best to contact your device manufacturer directly. But, we don't recommend doing.

A No. If your subfloor is perfectly level, an underlay is not needed. If that is not the case, we strongly recommend using a Cimafloor underlay. Keep in mind that they act as an additional sound barrier as well.
Why do we recommend a Cimafloor underlay?
Better levelling effect.
Better impact sound reduction (the sound towards neighbors). Without an underlay Luxury Vinyl Tiles has very LOW impact sound reduction capacity (ΔLw = +/- 4dB). Adding the basic underlay increases the impact sound reduction to 16 dB.
An underlay will eliminate the creaking noise of small dust and other particles under the floor.

A Cimafloor vinyl floors have a top coating that is highly wear and scratch resistant. Although Cimafloor Luxury Vinyl Tiles meet the European technical standards, they are not scratchproof: certain sharp objects may damage your floor. That is why we recommend taking a few preventive measures:
1．Use a doormat. It will help keep sharp and damaging objects, such as dust, sand and grit, out of your house.
2．Add protection to furniture legs (chairs, tables, cabinets, etc.), and use castor chairs with soft wheels.
3．Make sure the wheels of your vacuum cleaner are not too hard or badly damaged.
