The nuts and bolts of laminate care
The good news at the outset is that you have not only made the right choice in terms of quality and design with your floor covering. Laminate is one of those floors that is also easy to clean. So you don't have to invest a lot of time and effort in laminate maintenance. However, you should know how to clean your laminate floor really effectively.
1. Laminate flooring care tip: sweeping and vacuuming are expressly desired
Laminate floors are extremely robust floor coverings. The firm and smooth surface helps you to keep the floor clean simply by sweeping or vacuuming it regularly. Dry cleaning laminate is also the basis for mopping. If you use a hoover to remove loose dirt, dust etc., remember to extend the brush ring. As with all hard floors or tiles, using the wrong brush attachment on laminate flooring can result in unsightly scratches and marks if the nozzle hits the surface directly. Especially if there are stones or other hard dirt in play. A broom should also have soft bristles.
2. Laminate flooring care tip: please only wipe with a damp cloth
Laminate flooring impresses with its surface. But even if the surface is one of the most resistant of all floor coverings, water can penetrate laminate flooring in the area of the plank joints and existing micro-cracks, despite the best quality and all due care. Therefore, like all hard floors with a wooden structure, only wipe your laminate flooring with a damp cloth.
3. Laminate flooring care tip: How often you should mop
Are you wondering how often you should mop your laminate flooring? It is perfectly sufficient if you mop it at regular intervals and with a damp cloth as required. Less is more with laminate flooring. Ultimately, it's the use that counts: how much walking is done, with or without shoes, with or without dirt from outside. In areas with low traffic, such as the bedroom, a much longer cycle between cleanings is often sufficient. In rooms that are subject to heavier daily use, on the other hand, you should mop more frequently. Simply as required - with laminate flooring, you have more time for the finer things in life.
