Caring for Your Laminate Floors

With the right care, your new laminate floors will remain beautiful and perform like new for many years. By establishing a routine and addressing spills quickly, your floors will last for a long time. Learn more about how to care for your laminate with our care and maintenance guide.

Preventative Maintenance

Start by investing in doormats and placing them at entryways to your home. Ask visitors to remove outdoor shoes before walking across your floors. It’s important to minimize the amount of dirt tracked onto your flooring, as it can wear down your floors faster. Here are some other simple preventative maintenance tips:

  • Use furniture pads on the bottom of your furniture to prevent scratches or dents.
  • Trim your pet's nails regularly to avoid scratches.
  • Control the humidity in your home to prevent laminate from expanding and contracting.
  • Prevent water from standing or pooling as it can cause the floors to bow or warp.

Routine care

Sweep your floors regularly to remove dirt and dust. How often you sweep depends on how much foot traffic your room receives. You can also dry mop or damp mop your flooring. Be careful not to let water pool or stand on your floors. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can cause damage, and make sure any product you use is manufacturer approved.

Dealing with spills & stains

No matter how careful you are, there is likely to be an occassional spill. It's important to address spills immediately to prevent staining. Blot the area with a clean, dry cloth until you've removed all the liquid. If it's a solid spill, sweep it immediately. If you have an area that persists, you can use a manufacturer-approved solution on the area.
