Vacuum using a soft bristle
brush attachment. Place long bristle welcome mats at all outside entrances
for people to wipe their feet on before walking on your floors.
Don't Damp Mop
Water and laminate floors
don't mix! We recommend, Floor Care Essentials Hard Surface Kit for cleaning.
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 will leave a dull finish when used for cleaning
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 affected 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.
