Your laminate floors can imitate the look of stone or wood, but that doesn’t mean you can care for them the same way you would those other flooring types. Laminate floors need to be cared for in their own way and Monarch Carpets is here to provide some tips. Since you paid a lot for your laminate floors, it is a good idea to make sure that you take care of them properly so that they last for a long time. Keep reading to learn more about laminate floors and how to best care for them.

What supplies do you need to care for a laminate floor?

The first step is to gather up all of the supplies that you need to clean your laminate floor. You will need a dry mop, a vacuum with a soft brush attachment, a sponge or wet mop, clean water, and either store-bought or homemade laminate floor cleaner. To make laminate floor cleaner, you just need to mix equal parts water and vinegar. You can also mix equal parts water, vinegar, and rubbing alcohol. Be sure not to use floor cleaner for tile or hardwood because they can leave a dull or soapy finish on your beautiful laminate.

How do you properly clean laminate floors?

After you have gathered up all of the necessary supplies for cleaning your laminate floors, the first step is to dry mop the floor. You will then want to use the soft brush attachment to vacuum the edges and cervices to ensure that all of the debris are off the floor. Then start cleaning the floor with the wet mop working in 5-foot sections. Be sure to wipe the floor dry with a towel immediately after to reduce the likelihood of water spots on the floors.
