Caring for Your Laminate Floors
Simple Steps to Maintain Their Stylish Durability
Maintaining the stylish look and durability of your laminate floors involves consistent, gentle care that avoids excessive moisture. Here are a few basic practices to keep them looking their best.
- Sweep or Dry Mop Regularly: Use a soft-bristled broom or a microfiber dry mop daily or a few times a week to remove loose dirt, dust, and pet hair. This prevents scratching from abrasive particles.
- Wipe Up Spills Immediately: Clean any spills, both wet and dry, as quickly as possible with a clean, dry cloth or slightly damp cloth. Avoid letting liquids sit on the surface.
- Damp Mop Carefully: For deeper cleaning, use a microfiber mop that is only lightly dampened with water or a cleaner specifically designed for laminate floors. Ensure the mop is wrung out well to avoid excess moisture.
Taking proactive steps can significantly reduce the likelihood of scratches, dents, and water damage, helping your laminate floors maintain their stylish appearance for years to come.
- Use Entry Mats: Place durable mats at all entryways to trap dirt, grit, and moisture from shoes before they reach your laminate.
- Remove Shoes: Encourage everyone to remove their shoes at the door, especially high heels.
- Use Furniture Pads: Attach felt or other protective pads to the legs of all furniture to prevent scratches and dents when moving pieces.
- Control Humidity: Maintain a consistent indoor humidity level to prevent excessive expansion or contraction of the laminate boards.
