Tips for Cleaning Laminate Floors

Laminate flooring has caught on quickly due to the ease of installation, its durability and the ease of maintaining the product. These floors carry warranties for varying years based on brands. While laminate is known for its durability, there are a few simple tips you can follow to keep your floors in great condition:

  • As with other types of flooring, sand, gravel and other small particles can cause surface scratches and dullness. Use caution when cleaning these particles from the floors. Try using a vacuum without a brush or beater bar to remove these particles from the floor.
  • Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scrubbing pads because they will also scratch the surface of the floor.
  • Avoid use of excessive water on laminate floors. While they are designed to be waterproof, wet mopping could cause additional damage.
