Laminate floors give your home or office a different look. These floors are durable and stain resistant. If you use the right laminate cleaning products and methods, they can be easily cleaned and maintained.

Here are some general floor cleaning tips for these types of floors:

Sweeping:

Sweep laminate floors daily with a soft-bristled broom. That will prevent scratches.

Vacuum cleaning:

It is convenient and important to vacuum your laminate floor frequently to remove loose dust and dirt. Dust has abrasives that can cause scratches.

Wet mopping:

Laminate floors are recommended to be damp mopped once a week or less. You can use a soft microfiber mop. Always mop along the lines of the floorboards. Dry and clean the floor with soft microfiber mops. Be sure to only use a damp mop as water can damage laminate floors. It is recommended that you only use recommended laminate cleaning products to clean your floors.

Things to avoid:

You should not use wax, polish or a product based on vegetable oil, abrasive powders, scouring pads or steel wool to polish or clean a laminate floor. These products will damage the surface of the floor. Also, avoid using cleaning agents such as vinegar, ammonia, or chlorinated solutions to clean floors. Vinegar is an acid. Every time you use it, you will wear down the surface, make it dull and remove the top protective layer. In the same way, ammonia and chlorine will damage the top layer of floors. Do not wash or wet mop the floor with soap, detergent and water. This can cause warping, swelling, delamination, and opening of joints and gaps.

Cleaning liquid spills and stains:

If any liquid is spilled on the floor surface, it must be cleaned up immediately. It can stain the floor or get into the seams. Use a soft cloth or paper towel to soak up and wipe up the spill. Wipe the stain with a damp cloth using a laminate stain remover. A neutral cleaner, nail polish remover, or acetone can remove oil, permanent marker, or a paint stain.

You can use warm water with or without a neutral cleaner to clean juice, beer, sauce, tea, coffee or gravy stains. It is best to use a deep cleaner designed for laminate type floors. Substances such as chewing gum or wax must first be solidified with ice and then carefully rubbed off. You can clean the stain with warm water or a deep cleaner. However, water should be used only when the laminate flooring is sealed.
