How To Care For Laminate Flooring

Once your laminate floor is installed and looks fabulous, you really are going to want to keep it looking that way. There are lots of things you can do to ensure it stays in good condition and the good news is that laminate flooring is a relatively low-maintenance option.

 Read our care guide below to ensure you take the right steps to keep your flooring looking great. Some important points to bear in mind when placing your furniture:

1) Place soft castors under chairs and table legs to prevent scratches and dents.
2) Always lift furniture that requires moving – never push or drag furniture around on laminate flooring to avoid scratching damage.

Laminate Floor Care Tips: DO

  • Hoover your floors regularly
  • Use doormats by entrances and exits
  • Keep pets’ nails trimmed
  • Use a soft broom to sweep your floor

Laminate Floor Care Tips: DON'T

  • Allow the floor to absorb any kind of liquid
  • Use abrasive cleaners
  • Allow the floor to be subject to direct sunlight
  • A doormat will help to trap the dirt and prevent it from being brought indoors.
  • Vacuum your floor regularly with a hard floor attachment or sweep with a soft broom to remove all debris.
  • You can clean most laminate flooring with plain water or a solution of vinegar and water (made up of one cup of vinegar to one gallon of warm water). This can help to maintain the floor’s shine.
  • Laminate floors cannot be exposed to excess liquid so ensure that the mop is only slightly damp at best.  Never pour excess liquid over the floor to clean.
  • For spot cleaning pour a mixture of water and vinegar on a damp cloth and heavily rub the required areas.
  • To combat wear and tear and keep your laminate floor looking its best, use a floor shiner or two coats of floor polish.
  • Rub at the scuff mark with a damp sponge.  This should remove most scuffing.
  • To remove heavier scuff marks, use a smooth rubber eraser to rub over the markings.
  • Repeat the process until the scuff is gone.
  • Scuff erasers can be purchased at a hardware shop.
