Laminate Flooring is extremely hygienic and easy to keep clean. Here are our recommendations to keep your laminate flooring looking beautiful for many years.
- Routine cleaning requires just vacuuming, dusting with a clean dry mop cloth, or a wet cloth mop to prevent loose dirt or grit from scratching your floor's finish.
- Use non-staining walk-off mats by the entrance of all outside doorways.
- Use a wet mop cloth to remove footmarks and most stubborn dirt. Never use excessive amounts of water on your laminate floor.
- Never use scouring substances, abrasive cleaners, paste waxes or any floor polishes on your laminate floor.
- Marks and stubborn stains can easily be removed with Acetone™ nail polish remover or other mild, solvents containing alcohol.
- Felt pads should be affixed to the base of all furniture legs and drip trays should be placed underneath any planted pots. Movable furniture should be fitted with wide, rubber rollers.
- Hardened glue left over after your floor is installed can be removed with Acetone™ nail polish remover or special glue solvents.
Important Tips
- NEVER USE: Abrasive pads and cleaners, including nylon scouring pads, steel wool, Comet™, Soft Scrub™, etc. which may damage the finish.
- Footprints and dirt easily wipe away with a wet mop cloth. (Wring cloth well before use.) It is recommended to remove any wet spills immediately to avoid liquid penetration into the seams.
- Use felt protectors or approved nylon pads under furniture and replace all hard plastic or metal rollers on furniture with soft rubber rollers.
- Use caution when moving large appliances such as refrigerator, ranges, etc. Use protective mats at exterior entrances and in heavy traffic areas.
- Always remove loose dirt by sweeping. Mop using a wet mop cloth. Use only a slightly damp mop.
- Don't use "mop-and-shine" products. They'll leave a dull film. Never wax or polish your floor.
