Routine Laminate Care
Sweep or dust mop regularly to remove dust and grit, which can scratch the surface. Use a slightly damp mop with a mild, pH-neutral cleaner specifically designed for laminate floors. Avoid excessive water, as this can seep into the seams and damage the flooring.
Spills & Stains
- Act quickly: Blot up any spills immediately with a clean, absorbent cloth.
- Avoid harsh chemicals: Never use abrasive cleaners, ammonia, or bleach, as these can damage the laminate surface.
- Test cleaning solutions: If using a cleaning solution, always test it in an inconspicuous area first.
Additional Care Considerations
- Protect from scratches: Place felt pads under furniture legs and use doormats at entrances to minimize wear and tear.
- Consider area rugs: Area rugs can add warmth and style while also protecting high-traffic areas from wear and tear.
- Protect from heavy furniture: Avoid placing heavy, sharp objects directly on the laminate surface.
