LOW MAINTENANCE AND LONG LASTING BEAUTY
Your new laminate flooring is as close to “maintenance free” as a floor can get. Following a few simple suggestions will help keep your laminate flooring looking like new for years to come.
Easy Care Maintenance
Dust-mop (with a non-treated, clean mop) or vacuum regularly to remove loose soil and fine dust particles that can scratch finished floors. Wipe up spills quickly with cloth or sponge. For heavier cleaning, use a recommended cleaner. Avoid excessive water. No wax oil or polish is required.
Never use a scouring powder, steel wool or highly acidic or alkaline cleaners, non-recommended commercial cleaners or polishes, or a treated mop that has been used to clean other floors or furniture on your laminate flooring.
Never sand, wax or lacquer your laminate flooring.
Never drag appliances or heavy furniture across your floor.
Protect your floor
Use entry-way (non-skid, cotton) mats to capture tracked-in dirt and soil, and clean them regularly. Rubber or fibre- backed mats may stain or scratch floor finish. Use Felt floor protector pads under furniture legs and protect your floor from hard castors on moveable furniture.
