Preserving Your Laminate's Lasting Appeal
Consistent, routine care is key to preserving your laminate's beauty and extending its life. Regular sweeping or dust mopping helps remove dirt and grit that can cause wear. Laminate floors are designed to hide imperfections well and require less attention, making daily upkeep simple and effective in maintaining their lasting appeal.
Simple Care
Protect Your Laminate Floors
While laminate is tough, it is not waterproof, so prompt attention to spills is important. Gently blot any liquid with a clean, dry cloth immediately. Avoid letting liquids sit on the surface for extended periods, as this can cause damage.
For more stubborn marks or stains, always follow your laminate manufacturer's specific cleaning recommendations. Using inappropriate cleaning agents or methods can void your warranty or damage the floor's finish.
To protect your laminate floors from daily wear, place entry mats at all exterior doors to trap dirt and moisture. Use felt pads under furniture legs to prevent scratches and dents. While laminate is often more scratch-resistant than other wood floorings, it's still wise to avoid dragging heavy objects across the surface.
