Laminate Flooring Preventative Maintenance

•  Routine cleaning requires just vacuuming without beater bar, dusting with a clean Microfiber “Dry” Mop Cloth, or Microfiber “Damp” Mop Cloth to prevent loose dirt or grit f rom scratching your floor’s finish.
  
  

• Use non-staining walk-off mats by the entrance of all outside doorways.
  
  

• Use a Professional Hard Surface Cleaner and a Microfiber mop cloth to remove foot marks and most stubborn dirt. Never use excessive amounts of water on your laminate floor, i.e. no wet mopping.
  
  

• Limit the amount of daily cleaner to manufacturer’s specifications. Excessive use of cleaner will lead to a residue build-up on your floor.
  
  

• Never use scouring substances, abrasive cleaners, paste waxes or any floor polish.
  
  

• Marks and stubborn stains can easily be removed with Acetone nail polish remover or other mild, solvents containing alcohol.
  
  

• Felt pads should be affixed to the base of all furniture legs and drip trays should be placed underneath any planted pots. Movable furniture should be fitted with wide, rubber rollers.
  
  

• Use caution when moving large appliances such as refrigerators, ranges, etc.
  
  

• Hardened glue left over after your floor is installed can be removed with AcetoneTM nail polish remover or special glue solvents.
  
  

• Don’t use “mop-and-shine” products. They’ll leave a dull film.
  
  

• Never wax or polish your floor.
