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.
