At Floor Direct Ltd., we recognise how essential it is to maintain your laminate flooring in the same beautiful state as when it was first fitted. Islington oak laminate flooring is renowned for its durability and ease of maintenance but still needs to be cared for in order to last. Here’s our expert advice on maintaining and cleaning your laminate flooring like a professional.
The Right Way to Mop Laminate Floors
Laminate flooring is water-resistant, but too much moisture can do it harm. When you’re mopping, we recommend a damp — not wet — microfiber mop. Never use regular wet mops or steam cleaners, as they will let moisture into the seams and lead to warping. Warm water and a pH-neutral laminate floor cleaner are all you need to keep your floors immaculate without leaving streaks behind.
Daily Maintenance for a Fresh Look
It is easy to keep your laminate floors clean every day. Sweep or use a dry microfiber mop to clean the floor of dust and dirt. Laminate flooring does not get dusty like carpets, which makes it perfect for pet households or allergy patients. To maintain high-traffic areas, a quick vacuum (hard floor setting) keeps dirt at bay.
Protecting Your Laminate Floors from Damage
Prevention is the best policy when it comes to maintaining your laminate floors in their best state. We always advise placing felt pads on furniture legs to avoid scratching. Pet claws and high heels can also be marked, so it’s a good idea to keep pet nails short and refrain from walking indoors with sharp heels. Doormats at entrances reduce dirt and debris being tracked in.
Dealing with Stubborn Stains and Spills
Accidents do occur, and we know that spills are unavoidable. The secret to damage prevention is to wipe spills immediately with a soft, dry cloth. For more stubborn stains such as wine, coffee, or ink, a tiny bit of rubbing alcohol on a cloth can do the trick. Steer clear of abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, which can scratch the surface of your laminate flooring.
