Ease of cleaning is one of the benefits of laminate flooring.
Use these tips for regular maintenance:
- Regularly remove loose dirt and grit by using a non-beater bar
vacuum or a dust mop.
- High-traffic areas may require more frequent attention.
- Regularly vacuum and/or clean your protective walk-off mats
to minimize transfer of dirt and grime to the floor.
- Promptly wipe up spills.
- Do not saturate the flooring with water or cleaners.
- For stubborn or excessive dirt, damp mop with warm water and
a clean, white microfiber mop or cloth. You can use a vinegar
solution (1/4 cup of white vinegar to 2 gallons of clean tap water),
a nonabrasive household cleaner, such as ammonia and water solution,
or an approved laminate flooring cleaner, such as FloorCare
Essentials. Also see Spot
and Spill Removal for additional information.
- Do not use abrasive cleaners, steel wool, soap-based detergents,
waxes, polishes, or scouring powder because they may scratch or
dull the flooring surface.
- Do not use any type of buffing machine.
