Common Mistakes To Avoid
- Using excessive water or soaking the floor, which can seep into seams and cause warping
- Applying wax, polish, or oil-based products that leave a residue and dull the finish
- Using scouring pads or abrasive cleaners that scratch the surface
- Relying on steam mops, which introduce heat and moisture that laminate flooring cannot tolerate
- Choosing acidic cleaners like vinegar in concentrated amounts without manufacturer approval
Maintenance Tips For Longevity
- Place doormats at entrances to reduce tracked-in dirt and grit
- Use felt pads under furniture and avoid dragging heavy objects
- Keep humidity levels steady to prevent expansion or contraction of planks
- Seal high-traffic zones with area rugs to distribute wear
- Follow the manufacturer’s cleaning recommendations for any specific laminate brand
