On our sitesCaring for a laminate floor: the right habits
A well-cared-for laminate keeps its look for years. What to do, and above all what to avoid.
Every day
A vacuum with a soft brush or a microfibre mop: sand and dust are the main cause of micro-scratches. Felt pads under furniture legs and a doormat at the entrance avoid most of the damage.
For washing, a barely damp, well-wrung mop with a diluted neutral cleaner. Never standing water: the HDF core swells if it stays wet.
What to avoid
Steam cleaners, waxes, abrasive products or black soap that leaves a film. Stubborn stains (marker, nail polish) come off with acetone on a cloth, locally, without rubbing the decorative surface.
If damage occurs
A click plank can be replaced: that is the advantage of floating installation. Keep a box of the same reference after the job, colour batches vary between production runs.
