Everyday Care for Lasting Beauty
Simple Steps to Keep Your Laminate Looking Great
A few simple steps will help keep your laminate floors looking their best for years to come. Routine care prevents dirt and debris from dulling the surface and helps maintain their stylish appearance. The most important part of keeping your laminate fresh is regular sweeping or dust mopping. Aim to sweep or use a microfiber dust mop on high-traffic areas a few times a week and other areas at least once a week. This easy habit removes loose dirt and dust, keeping your floors clean and attractive.
Tips for Maintaining Your Laminate
Handling Spills and Keeping Your Floors Pristine
While laminate is known for its durability, spills can happen. When they do, acting quickly is key. Immediately wipe up any spills with a clean, damp cloth. Avoid letting liquids sit on the surface for extended periods.
- Use Doormats and Rugs: Placing mats at entryways and rugs in high-traffic zones helps reduce the amount of dirt and debris tracked onto your laminate floors, minimizing scratches and wear.
- Avoid Excessive Water: While you can damp mop laminate, avoid soaking the floor with water, as excessive moisture can seep into the seams.
- Follow Manufacturer's Instructions: Always refer to the specific care guidelines provided by the laminate manufacturer for the best cleaning methods and products for your particular floor.
