General Guidelines for CLEANING your laminate floor

Sat, Jul 19, 2008

Remove loose dirt by using a non-beater bar vacuum or a dust mop.
With a damp mop or cloth, clean your laminate floor once a week with a vinegar solution (1/4 cup of white vinegar to 2 gallons of clean tap water) or a nonabrasive household cleaner, such as ammonia and water solution. Do not saturate the floor.
Do not use abrasive cleaners, steel wool, soap-based detergents, waxes, polishes, or scouring powder because they may scratch or dull the flooring surface.
Wipe up spills immediately. Avoid allowing liquids to stand on your floor.
A more frequent dust mopping or vacuuming schedule may be required in high traffic or sandy areas.
For tough spots, such as candle wax or chewing gum, harden the spot with ice and then gently scrape the spot with a plastic scraper. Even a credit card will do. Be careful not to scratch the flooring surface. Wipe clean with a damp cloth.
Do not use any type of buffing machine….
