Maintenance
- Use a dust mop, soft bristle broom or a vacuum cleaner with suction only (no beater bar or with the beater bar disengaged) to remove dust, dirt and loose particulate on a regular basis.
- For slightly damp cleaning, spray good quality Cleaner onto a cotton, terrycloth, or microfiber mop. Avoid wet-mop cleaning with water or liquid cleaners.
- Use protective window coverings to block fade-causing UV rays and excessive heat from direct sunlight, and rearrange rugs and furniture periodically to help your floor age evenly
- During inclement weather, avoid exposing your flooring to water as much as possible.
- Carefully remove stubborn stains (like paint, oil, tar, or markers) with acetone-based fingernail polish remover.
- Wipe up spills and spots immediately with good quality Cleaner applied directly to a clean white cloth.
- Use ice to harden tough substances like wax or chewing gum, and then gently scrape with a plastic scraper or a credit card. Be careful not to scratch the surface and wipe the area clean with a soft, slightly damp cloth.
- Wax, polish, oils, soaps, detergents, shine enhancers, or varnish shouldn't be used on laminate.
- Applying cleaner directly to the surface of the laminate can cause staining—lightly spray it on a cleaning cloth or damp mop instead.
- Avoid cleaning machines like spray mops, steam cleaners or mops, or power cleaners.
- Always avoid mopping with water and dry up any water spills immediately.
