- Vacuum Regularly
- vacuum using a soft bristle brush attachment. Place long bristle welcome
mats placed at all outside entrances for people to wipe their feet on
before walking on your floors.
- Light Damp Mop
- most laminate floors may be lightly damped mopped when needed. Avoid
standing water as this may cause the seams between the planks to peak.
- Use the Proper Chair
Glides - Narrow wheels, sharp wooden legs or metal furniture legs
can scratch your floors. Any furniture that rests directly on top of
a laminate floor should have floor protectors, or wide furniture coasters
under all feet.
- Don't Use Oil Soaps
- There are many over the counter oil-based soaps that when used for
cleaning your floor that will leave a dull finish on your floor.
- Trim Pet's Claws
Regularly - Even though laminate floors are durable, pet's claws
may scratch the surface if they are not trimmed regularly.
- Never Wax a Laminate
Floor - laminate floors have a very dense surface and floor waxes
will not stick to the surface.
- Wipe Spills Immediately
- when liquids get spilled on your laminate floor use a slightly damp
white cloth, or paper towel to immediately blot up and dry the effected
area. For more difficult spots, follow the manufacturer's recommended
cleaning procedures.
- Follow the manufacturer's
recommendations - the best suggestion is to only use the manufacturers
recommended cleaning products on your floor.
