Laminate CARE
& MAINTENANCE
Maintaining the Beauty of Your Laminate Floors
Regular care is key to keeping your laminate floors looking their best and protecting them from everyday wear and tear. Consistent light cleaning prevents the buildup of dirt, dust, and debris that can scratch the surface and dull the finish. By taking a few simple steps regularly, you can ensure your laminate floors maintain their stylish appearance and last for years to come, enhancing the beauty of your home.
Simple Steps to Keep Your Laminate Looking Great
- Sweep or Dust Mop Regularly: Use a soft broom or microfiber dust mop to remove loose dirt, dust, and pet hair at least a few times a week.
- Use Entryway Mats: Place mats at all entrances to trap dirt and grit from shoes before it reaches your laminate floors.
- Damp Mop: Use a slightly damp microfiber mop with a laminate-specific cleaner as needed to remove surface dirt and smudges. Avoid excessive water.
- Use Furniture Pads: Place felt pads under the legs of furniture to prevent scratches and dents when moving pieces.
Quick Action for a Clean Laminate Floor
- Act Fast: Wipe up spills immediately with a clean, absorbent cloth or paper towel.
- Blot, Don't Rub: Gently blot the spill to prevent it from spreading.
- Identify the Spill: Knowing what caused the stain can help you choose the appropriate cleaning method.
- Use Recommended Cleaners: For stubborn stains, use a laminate-safe cleaner according to the manufacturer's instructions. Test in an inconspicuous area first.
- Avoid Excessive Water: Be mindful not to saturate the laminate surface when cleaning spills.
