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.
Preventative maintenance
Place doormats inside and outside entryways to stop moisture and dirt from entering the home. Lift heavy furniture (don't slide it) and place floor protectors on the bottom of furniture to prevent scratching.
Daily care
For everyday cleaning, just sweep, dust mop, or vacuum to remove loose dirt and grime. When vacuuming, use a soft-bristle or hard floor attachment (not the beater bar) and remember to vacuum along edges and corners.
Dealing with spills
Wipe up spills and spots immediately with laminate floor cleaner applied directly to a clean cloth. Don’t use wax, polish, or cleaners not specifically recommended for your laminate flooring. These can ruin the finish and the overall look of the laminate.Also, don’t use soap-based detergents or floor steam cleaners.
