CLEAN REGULARLY

Sweep, dry mop, or vacuum your laminate flooring daily or weekly to keep it looking new!

USE FURNITURE PADS

Put all furniture on protective pads and take caution when moving furniture to avoid scratching your laminate.

INVEST IN DOORMATS

Placing doormats throughout your home and encouraging guests to remove shoes will keep your flooring clean.

PUT A RUG ON IT!

Consider adding an area rug or two to your room design. Doing so will transform your space, adding color or a neutral base that complements your pre-existing decor. It will also add a layer of protection to your laminate flooring.

LAMINATE FLOORING STAIN REMOVAL

To prevent stains, act quickly and wipe up wet spills immediately. Always follow the manufacturer's specifications! If dealing with a more stubborn stain, use a warm damp cloth or mop your flooring. Make sure you consult your manufacturer's care guidelines if needed. You should also consult our stain removal guide in the additional resources section below.

PS: Did you know that the construction of laminate depends on the manufacturer? While some newer laminate products include waterproof finishes, most do not. Since laminate is a wood-based protect, take the same care when selecting a cleaning solution as you would with real hardwood.
