Routine Laminate Care
Regular cleaning is essential to maintaining the beauty and longevity of your laminate floors. Sweep or dust mop your floors regularly to remove dirt and debris. For deeper cleaning, use a damp mop with a mild, laminate-safe cleaner. Avoid excessive moisture, as it can damage the laminate.
- Protect high-traffic areas: Use runners or area rugs in high-traffic areas to protect your floors from excessive wear and tear.
- Move furniture regularly: Prevent deep indentations by periodically moving heavy furniture.
- Avoid harsh chemicals: Use only mild, laminate-safe cleaners to avoid damaging the surface.
- Use doormats: Place mats at all entrances to your home to catch dirt and debris before it gets tracked onto your floors.
- Remove shoes: Encourage people to remove their shoes before entering your home to minimize the amount of dirt and grit brought inside.
Laminate Spills & Stains
Accidents happen. If you spill food or liquids on your laminate floors, act quickly to prevent stains. Blot up excess liquid with a clean, absorbent cloth. Avoid rubbing, as this can push the stain deeper into the laminate. Test any cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area before applying it to the stain. For stubborn stains, consult your manufacturer's guide for recommended products and methods to avoid damage or voiding your warranty.
