How to Care for Your Laminate

Laminate flooring offers the perfect blend of style and durability, making it an ideal choice for busy households and active lifestyles. Its classic hardwood aesthetic combined with exceptional resilience ensures it can withstand the demands of everyday life, including kids, pets, and high-traffic areas. Follow our expert tips to keep your laminate floors looking their best for years to come.

Preventative Maintenance For Your Laminate

Daily care should include sweeping, dry mopping, and vacuuming as needed. If you use a vacuum, be sure not to use a beater bar, as this can scuff your flooring. For a deeper clean, use a manufacturer-approved cleaning product only. 

Strategically place doormats at the entry to the rooms to capture any dirt or debris before it's tracked onto your new floor. Also, you can protect your floor from dents by placing floor protectors under heavy furniture and appliances. Also, avoid dragging anything across your laminate floors that could scratch or damage the surface.

Dealing with Spills & Stains

Most messes on laminate can simply be wiped away with a damp cloth. But remember, spills should always be wiped up quickly, as they can be very slippery.

When it comes to difficult stains such as candle wax and chewing gum or oil-based stains like lipstick and olive oil, consult the manufacturer’s guidelines for help with these difficult messes.
