Topped with uncanny styles of wood, stone, slate, bamboo, and more, laminates are hard to damage and extremely easy to clean comprised of multi-layer construction. Laminate floors in general are easy to care for because of their tight seams eliminating nooks and crannies for crumbs and dirt to collect. A bonus to these floors, no waxing or refinishing is ever needed.

Laminate Floors Are a Great Investment!

A smart investment, most laminate floors are resistant to fading, wearing, scratches and moisture. However, like with any flooring, take common-sense precautions for a long-lasting floor. Perfect for the busy household, here are some simple tips for keeping your laminate floors beautiful for generations.

First and most importantly, always read the manufacturer warranty and care instructions. Informing you of suggested care requirements also helps to ensure no voided warranties in the future with improper care.

Precautions To Clean Laminate Floors

When cleaning, steer clear of wet mops and opt rather for dry- or damp-mopping methods to avoid puddles behind floorboards or under the floor. Many homeowners use daily dry mopping methods and occasional damp mopping when spills occur. Additionally, many manufacturers will carry specifically designed products for cleaning laminate floors.

Avoid These For Your Laminate Floors’ Longevity

Beyond avoiding soaking, seeping, or steaming your floors with harsh elements and chemicals, apply rugs or runners to areas of high traffic like entryways or hallways to help the longevity of your laminate floors.  Additionally, moving furniture should always be done with caution as heavy pieces can irreversibly scratch your flooring.

Many laminate floors are typically backed by a 10-year to lifetime warranty and are an easy and affordable solution for top-quality flooring.
