Laminate floor maintenance:

Laminate floors require little maintenance beyond the usual cleaning.

• Regular sweeping, vacuuming and an occasional wipe with a damp cloth is all you need to keep your floor clean.
• Never mop a laminate floor with soap or water - which can cause serious moisture damage
• Never use steel wool, scouring powder or any abrasive cleaners.
• Also, you should never wax, polish, sand or apply sealer or lacquer to a laminate floor. You cannot increase the shine on a laminate floor, as the shine is determined during manufacturing, and not a matter of recoating or refinishing.
• A DAMP cloth or mop can be used without damage to the laminate panels, but NEVER flood the floor.
• Blot up spills or water from wet feet or footwear immediately with a clean, dry cloth, sponge or paper towel.  Do not allow excess liquid to remain on the floor's surface.
