Prior to cleaning Laminate Floors you need a light vacuum cleaner or broom, and a damp towel for any spots. Vacuum regularly to keep dust, dirt, and grit off the floor and avoid scratching your floors. Caution - Do not use any vacuum's with a rotating beater bar - (hard floor attachments only).
Never clean laminate floors with anything abrasive, such as cleanser, sandpaper, or steel wool. If your floors have scratches from grit or gravel, you will not be able to sand them out; remember, unlike real hardwood, the woodgrain is only as deep as the surface.
How NOT to Clean Laminate Flooring:
- Do Not get too much water or cleaner on your laminate flooring, the excess liquid causes the laminate to expand and will lead to other bigger problems.
- Do Not scrape a mess off of your laminate flooring, use a slightly damp cloth or special cleaner to clean up any stuck on messes.
- Do Not start using a new cleaning method or cleaner without first testing it in a small section of flooring that is hidden from view. Better to stain or hurt a small section than destroy the whole floor.
Never drag any unprotected furniture or heavy items across your floor. Install 2 -3 mm felt on the bottoms of all of your furniture, especially tables and chairs. Whilst the furniture legs may not directly damage your floor, grit building up and trapped between the floor and the hard furniture legs / bottoms will cause a lot of light scratches. Installing the felt layer between these two hard surfaces gives the grit somewhere to go rather than getting pushed into your laminate flooring.
Install proper barrier mats. It is essential that proper door mats are used at every entrance and exit of your home. A good system is to have a coir or Astroturf type mat on the outside to help remove grit from the treads of your shoes or trainers and then a rubber backed cotton based mat inside your doorways. This will reduce the transfer of grit and moisture onto your laminate floors.
