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.
