Regular laminate care
The number one key to preserving the appearance of your laminate floors is simple: Regular sweeping or dust-mopping as frequently as possible! Sweep with a gentle bristle broom or dust-mop daily to remove dirt, dust, debris, and pet dander before these particles become abrasive and scratch the surface.
- If you want to vacuum your laminate, make sure to disengage all beater bars before vacuuming your floors.
- Consult your laminate manufacturer’s warranty before investing in a robot vacuum cleaner.
Treating spills & stains on laminate
You love how easy and stress-free it is to treat spills when they hit your laminate floors! These innovative surfaces are engineered to handle moisture with ease. Simply follow these steps:
- Gently lift any solid material from the spill with a spoon and paper towels.
- Use a dry clean cloth or paper towels to absorb all of the liquid spill.
- Use a gentle, manufacturer-approved laminate cleaner to spot treat or remove any dried spill as needed.
- For an efficient deep-clean, you can wet-mop or use a Swiffer WetJet system on your laminate floor.
- Ensure that the surface dries in a timely manner. That's all it takes!
Extra laminate care steps
Here are a few additional preventative measures that you can take to help maintain your laminate floors in an active home:
- Place area rugs, with quality area rug pads underneath, throughout high traffic areas in the home to protect against spills, scratches, and the effects of daily wear.
- Use indoor-outdoor mats at all entranceways and encourage guests to scrape footwear.
- Keep shoe racks by entrances inside for footwear removal during inclement weather.
- Keep all pet nails trimmed and brush pets regularly to reduce scratches and pet dander.
