Caring for your laminate
Like any floor, laminate requires care to maintain its beauty. By following these simple laminate care & maintenance tips, your floor will reward you with great looks for years to come.
Daily Cleaning:
- Sweep or vacuum your laminate floors regularly to remove dirt and debris. Use a soft-bristled attachment or a hard floor setting on your vacuum cleaner.
- For deeper cleaning, mop your floors with a damp cloth or a microfiber mop. Use a mild, pH-neutral floor cleaner specifically designed for laminate floors. Avoid using harsh chemicals, soap-based detergents, or excessive water.
Dealing with Spills:
- Act quickly to clean up spills to prevent stains. Blot up spills with a clean, absorbent cloth.
- Use a mild, pH-neutral floor cleaner to remove stubborn stains.
- For more difficult stains, consult your laminate flooring manufacturer's guide for specific recommendations.
Preventative Care:
- Place doormats at all entryways to trap dirt and debris before it gets tracked onto your floors.
- Use furniture pads under heavy furniture to prevent scratches and dents.
- Avoid dragging heavy objects across your laminate floors.
