Pergo® Outlast+ Laminate Floors

Care and Repair

Pergo Outlast+ floors, like other fine furnishings in your home, require proper care to keep them

looking their best. When you follow our easy cleaning and maintenance instructions, you'll find

taking care of your Pergo Outlast+ floor a snap!

Regular Maintenance

The surface layer of Pergo Outlast+ flooring is hard and compact, so dirt and dust do not adhere

to it easily. The following simple steps are usually all it takes to keep your floor clean.

• For general cleaning, use a dust mop or vacuum with the correct hard surface attachment

of your vacuum cleaner.

• For heavier cleaning, occasionally wet mop with water only, using a well wrung out mop.

DO NOT pour liquid directly on floor or use an excessively wet mop that will puddle or

leave moisture standing on the floor.

• If needed, use a solution of 1 cup of vinegar per gallon of water OR

⁄3 cup non-sudsing

ammonia per gallon of water.

• DO NOT use detergents, abrasive cleaners, soaps, waxes or polishes. There is never a

need to wax or refinish your Pergo Outlast+ floor.

• DO NOT use rotating beater bars, floor scrubbers, steamers, jet mops, buffers or similar

products.

Protect the Floor

While Pergo Outlast+ is remarkably durable, there is of course no such thing as an indestructible

flooring material. There are a few simple protective measures that are important to keep your

floor looking new.

• To protect your Pergo Outlast+ floor from surface scratches, place walk-off area rugs or

mats inside any exterior doorway to collect small bits of gravel that may track in on shoes.

• Use felt floor protectors on the legs of chairs, sofas, TV stands, tables and other easily

movable furniture.

• Replace plastic casters on chairs with rubber wheels and lift rather than slide heavy

objects across the floor.

• Minor damage to a Pergo Outlast+ plank can be easily repaired with Pergo Finishing

Putty. If the damaged area is larger than 1/4 of an inch, we recommend contacting a

professional to replace an entire plank.

Spot Removal

Pergo Outlast+ stain resistance means peace of mind for you and easy clean up. So, when the

inevitable happens, use the following guide for stain and spot removal:

• For chocolate, grease, juice, cordials and wine - use lukewarm water and a non-abrasive

cleaner (such as, ammonia and water).

• For tar, markers, crayon, lipstick, oil, shoe polish, ink, nail polish and cigarette burns - use

acetone/nail polish remover or denatured alcohol. Note: Do not use acetone on wallbase

or quarter round.

• For candle wax and chewing gum - let harden and scrape carefully with a blunt plastic

scraper.
