Laminate Maintenance
- Place doormats or walk-off mats at each entryway to collect excessive moisture and dirt
- Sweep, dust-mop or vacuum (without a beater bar) your floor to remove loose dirt and grit
- Periodically use a damp mop to restore your floors shine
- Purchase a laminate cleaner specifically made by the manufacturer for your particular floor
- After damp mopping, use a clean, dry cloth to soak up excess moisture
- Use floor protectors on the bottom of your furniture and when moving furniture, lift rather than drag it across your floor
- Never use abrasive cleaners, steel wool or scouring powder
- Never use soap-based detergents or “mop and shine” products
- Never flood your laminate floor with water or cleaners
- Never attempt to sand or refinish your laminate floor
