Best Rooms for Laminate
One of the great features of laminate floors is that they give homeowners the look and feel of luxury flooring with easy installation and can be installed anywhere in your home, even in moisture-prone basements. Laminate’s layered construction makes it remarkably durable and able to stand up to heavy foot traffic, pets and kids, so it’s perfect for family rooms and foyers, hallways and home gyms. Laminate’s tough wear layers also provide superior moisture resistance from surface spills while its moisture barrier backing guards against warping from subfloor moisture.
While laminate floors are highly water resistant, they’re not waterproof. Make sure to wipe up any spills as soon as they happen.
PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
Preventative Laminate Maintenance
- Use doormats at the entry to the room to capture any dirt, sand or grime that could be tracked onto your flooring.
- Use wide dollies whenever you need to move furniture across the floor.
- Protect your flooring from dents or marks by placing heavy appliances on mats.
- Add an area rug or two for stylish protection of your laminate flooring.
SPILL AND STAIN REMOVAL
Laminate Stain Removal
For difficult stains and messes like candle wax and chewing gum, or oil based stains like lipstick and olive oil, consult with the manufacturer’s guidelines for cleaning tough stains and messes. Many of these tougher stains have simple solutions like using nail polish remover or freezing with ice before gently scraping away with a plastic scraper.
Laminate Cleaning Solutions
Frequent deep cleaning of your new laminate flooring shouldn’t be a necessity but when you want to give your laminate flooring a deeper clean, we recommend you use a manufacturer approved hard surface cleaner.
