Cleaning A Laminate Floor

Laminate floors can give your many years of performance if you follow some regular maintenance procedures. While laminate floors are extremely durable they can be scratched so protect your floor from grit and any sharp objects.

Laminate Floor Cleaning tips

• Use felt pads, or wide based casters underneath all chair and furniture legs.
• When moving heavy objects across the floor always use extra care and place walk off mats by all exterior doorways.
• Vacuum your floor regularly using soft brush attachments and wipe with a damp cloth or mop when needed.
• Do not polish or wax these floors.
• Never try to refinish or sand a laminate floor.
• Do not use steel wool or any harsh abrasive cleaners on the floor.
• For additional care procedures always refer to the manufacturer's care and maintenance instructions and recommendations.

Not all laminate floors are the same and you should obtain a copy of the manufacturer's floor care instructions when buying your floor. Be sure to take a momnet and read the instructions so you understand how to properly care for your new laminate floor.
