MANUFACTURER LAMINATE FLOORING CARE & MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES
Care & Maintenance Guidelines
While your laminate flooring is highly resistant to stains and abrasions, we recommend the following
practices as part of your floor’s daily
care and maintenance in order to maximize durability and the life of
your laminate flooring.
§ Place a doormat outside exterior entrances to collect excess moisture, sand, grit, and other potentially
damaging substances from being tracked onto your laminate floor.
§ Use
only colorfast and non-scratch carpeting or pads on your laminate surface.
§ Avoid sharp or pointed objects with concentrated weight such as high heels on your floor.
§ Use protective felt pads under furniture legs or wide castors under appliances levelers.
§ If using a wheeled dolly to move furniture or appliances on your laminate floor, place a clean sheet or
smooth plywood or other protective layer over your laminate surface.
§ Rearrange furniture occasionally to maximize indentation resistance.
§ Do not treat or seal your laminate floor panels after they are installed.
§ Never sand, lacquer, or refinish your laminate flooring surface.
Routine Cleaning
§ Dust, mop, or
vacuum with a soft brush or wood-flooring accessory to keep your flooring clean from
dust, dirt, or grit.
§ A damp cloth or mop can be used without damage to the laminate panels, but do not use excessive
water. Dry the floor thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth.
§ Blot up spills or water from wet feet or footwear immediately with a clean, dry cloth, sponge, or paper
towel. Do not allow excess liquid to remain on the surface.
§ Do not use soap-based detergents, abrasive cleaners, or combined “clean and shine” products on your
laminate floor.
§ Do not use steel wool or other scouring pads that may scratch laminate panels.
§ Do not wax or polish your laminate flooring.
§ Do not steam clean or use chemicals that may damage the flooring surface.
Stubborn Spots
Use acetone or nail polish remover on stubborn substances such as tar, asphalt, paint, or oil. Wipe clean with a
damp cloth.
