Use Area Rugs

Use quality area rugs inside entryways to prevent dirt and moisture from being tracked onto your laminate floor. To prevent slippage, only use a quality vinyl rug pad from your retailer. Don't use rubber, foam back or plastic pads as they may discolor the floor. Avoid excessive exposure to water from tracking during periods of inclement weather.

Area rugs and furniture should be rearranged occasionally as they block sunlight, which may give the appearance of discoloring under the rug. UV sunlight and direct lighting will change the color of different wood species to varying degrees.

Protect Your Floor from Marring

Although laminate floors are durable and scratch resistant they can still be scratched, gouged and dented. Sharp or pointed objects, severe impact or concentrated weight can damage your floor.  Keep all pets' nails trimmed and filed in order to minimize scratches.

General Care and Cleaning

1.   Vacuum to reduce dirt and dust on the floor.

2.  Damp mopping is recommended for all laminate floors.  We recommend BonX products which we carry in-stock.  Simply spray a mist of BonX Hard Surface Floor Cleaner on the floor and use the damp mop with washable mop head.  See your manufacturer's care instructions for other guidelines.  Do not use any wax or cleaner that must be mixed with water, such as oil soap, as this may ruin your floor and result in the loss of the warranty.

Do not use wax, polish, abrasive cleaners, steel wool or scouring powder.

Laminate Floor Stain Removal

When a spill occurs, spot clean by applying  BonX Hard Surface Floor Cleaner onto a clean cloth and rubbing it onto the spot. More stubborn stains may require additional scrubbing with the appropriate scrub pad. Never topically apply wax to your urethane floor. Periodically clean your floor by applying the recommended cleaner to a dampened sponge mop. DO NOT allow puddles of cleaner to remain on the floor's surface. Excess liquid may penetrate between laminate boards and cause swelling to the laminate.
