Laminate Care
While vacuuming or sweeping is typically sufficient to keep laminate floors clean, occasionally clean with a cloth or mop using cleaning product, such as Mannington’s Ultra Clean System.
Some important tips for keeping a laminate floor clean include:
- Never flood the floor with water
- Do not use soap-based detergents
- Avoid abrasive cleaners
- Never wax, polish, sand, or lacquer a laminate floor
- Use doormats
- Remove liquid spills as soon as possible
