Cleaning and Maintenance

Maintenance Instructions:

Unilin’s allen+roth laminate flooring is virtually maintenance-free. Routine

cleaning requires you only to vacuum, use a dust mop, or a very slightly damp

(not wet) mop and dry with a clean, white cotton cloth. The only product that

should be used to clean your floor on a regular basis is an alcohol-based laminate

floor cleaner or plain water. With its smooth surface, Unilin’s laminate flooring

cannot retain dust or dirt.

NEVER use shine enhancers/restorers, wax, polish, oil, or varnish coating on the

floor. Do not use soap or detergents, oil soaps, or one-step clean and shine type

products, or any product that squirts liquid directly on the floor. Do not use

products designated for wood flooring.

For dry maintenance, use a dust mop, microfiber mop, or vacuum cleaner. Use

only vacuum heads with soft bristles. Avoid vacuum attachments with ‘beater

bars’ or spinning heads, which could damage your floor. Ensure vacuum cleaner

wheels are not impregnated with grit; plastic wheels may scratch your floor.

For damp maintenance: Mist cleaning products (or plain water) lightly onto a dry,

soft cloth (never directly to the floor), wipe over floor. DO NOT allow floor to air

dry as this will leave a film on your floor. Use only a WELL WRUNG OUT

CLOTH. ALWAYS WIPE DRY IMMEDIATELY AFTER until no moisture is

visible on the floor.

WET MAINTENANCE WILL RUIN YOUR FLOOR. Never wet mop or use

steam cleaners on your floor.

Remove stubborn stains carefully with a little acetone (fingernail polish remover)

on a soft cloth. Never use steel wool, abrasive cleaners, or scouring powder, as

they will scratch your floor.

Unilin laminate is based on pre-treated, watertight, glued HDF board. Despite

Unilin laminate’s relative moisture-resistance, remove any excess water

immediately.
