Laminated flooring has earned its title for the most popular flooring because it is so easy to care for and it is one of the least expensive flooring types available. However, just because you paid less for it does not mean you want to risk damaging it when you clean it. Therefore, it is imperative for you to learn how to properly clean your laminate floor.
The first thing you need to do is take a soft broom to sweep it. If you are going to vacuum, be sure that the vacuum does not have the beater bar underneath turned on. If it has one that can not be shut off, do not use the vacuum as the beater could severely damage your floor.
After removing dirt and debris from the floor, you will then need to use a special cleaner intended for laminated flooring. Other cleaners can damage the finish to the floor. When you installed your floor, you should have received special cleaning instructions and you should always follow the directions received.
If, for some reason, you did not receive instructions, you can mix up a solution of 1 part vinegar to 3 parts water. You will then want to wash your floor with a soft mop of this solution, being very careful not to leave standing water on the floor. Water that is left to sit on the floor can very quickly seep into the cracks and cause warping of the floor.
After you have mopped the floor with the cleaning solution, you will then want to go over it with a soft rag to remove the leftover water on the floor. By drying it very quickly, you can prevent damage from being done, as well as prevent it from drying with mopping marks.
Caring for a laminate floor is not difficult, but it does require you to follow instructions. Just choosing the wrong type of broom could easily result in damage to your floor. While the cost of this flooring may be low, it does not necessarily look cheap. To keep your floor in good condition, always be careful when using cleaners on the floor and make sure you are using the proper equipment for the job.
