No, you should not use a steam mop on LifeProof flooring, as LifeProof installation instructions specifically advise against steam mops, and using steam mop voids LifeProof warranty, as steam forces hot moisture into seams and can damage rigid core and finish. LifeProof luxury vinyl plank, Home Depot private label made by Halstead, features rigid core construction that is 100 percent waterproof with PVC core, but steam mops produce hot steam at high temperature that can force moisture into click-lock seams, cause expansion, and damage finish and attached pad, even though LifeProof is waterproof, and LifeProof warranty states that steam mops are not approved. For cleaning LifeProof flooring, you should sweep or vacuum regularly with hard surface attachment to remove dirt and grit, then damp mop with lightly damp microfiber mop and pH-neutral vinyl floor cleaner like Bona Hardwood Cleaner or LifeProof approved cleaner that is safe for LVP, costing 6 to 12 dollars, sprayed lightly and mopped, avoiding excess water. You should not wet mop with soaking wet mop, as excess water can still affect subfloor. You should not use vinegar excessively or abrasive cleaners. So you cannot use steam mop on LifeProof flooring, as it voids warranty and can damage flooring, use damp microfiber mop with pH-neutral cleaner instead for safe cleaning.
