Laminate Care & Maintenance

To make daily life easier, use area rugs throughout the home to protect your laminate flooring from spills, dropped items, and tracked-in debris. It’s also a great practice to brush all pets frequently to reduce pet dander and regularly trim their nails to prevent possible scratches.

It’s extremely important to remove dirt and debris from the laminate surface effectively in order to prevent abrasion. Sweep with a gentle bristle broom, dust-mop, or vacuum your laminate floors daily or as frequently as possible. Make sure that any beater bars are disengaged from your vacuum beforehand.

When spills occur on your laminate floors, simply wipe them up with paper towels or a clean, dry cloth! You can often mop these surfaces for an efficient deep clean whenever you see fit or use a Swiffer WetJet system as needed. Just make sure to check your laminate warranty beforehand. For dried stains, use a gentle laminate-specific cleaner and paper towels to remove them completely.
