Laminate Care & Maintenance
Protect Your Laminate's Beauty
Regular cleaning is essential to maintaining the look and feel of your laminate. Dust and debris can settle on the surface, causing scratches and a dull appearance over time. Routine sweeping and light mopping removes surface dirt before it can cause damage, helping your laminate stay fresh and vibrant for years to come. Establishing a consistent cleaning routine will also improve indoor air quality and keep your home feeling comfortable.
Keep Your Laminate Looking Its Best
Life happens, but with the right care, your laminate can stay beautiful despite everyday messes. Quick action is key when spills occur, and simple preventative measures can reduce scratches and water damage. With a little effort, you can maintain a clean and inviting space while extending the life of your laminate.
Blot spills immediately with a clean, dry cloth—never rub, as this can push liquid into the seams or damage the finish. Use a slightly damp cloth or a manufacturer-approved laminate cleaner for gentle spot cleaning. Avoid over-wetting the area, as excess moisture can lead to swelling or damage to the laminate core.
For stains, act quickly to prevent them from setting. Use a slightly damp cloth or a manufacturer-approved laminate cleaner for gentle spot cleaning. For tougher stains, like wine or pet accidents, use a product recommended by your laminate manufacturer, and always test in an inconspicuous area first. If a stain persists, professional cleaning may be necessary to restore your laminate’s appearance.
Reduce wear in high-traffic areas by using area rugs or runners, especially in entryways and hallways. Use furniture pads or felt protectors on the feet of furniture to prevent scratches and scuffs. Avoid dragging heavy furniture across the floor to prevent damage. Encouraging family and guests to remove their shoes at the door can also help minimize dirt and debris buildup, keeping your laminate cleaner for longer.
