How do I clean and maintain laminate flooring?
Laminate is one of the easiest floors to maintain - but it needs specific care around water. DAILY (2 MIN): 1. Dry mop or vacuum (hard-floor setting, no beater bar). 2. Wipe spills IMMEDIATELY - laminate's biggest enemy is water seeping into joints. WEEKLY (10 MIN): 1. Damp microfibre mop - WRUNG NEARLY DRY. 2. Use laminate-specific cleaner OR pH-neutral floor cleaner. 3. Mop in plank direction. 4. Never leave puddles. DO NOT USE: 1. STEAM MOPS - heat + moisture is lethal. Banned. 2. Soaking wet mops - water at joints causes HDF swelling. 3. Wax, polish - leaves film. 4. Vinegar long-term - etches melamine surface. 5. Bleach, ammonia - discolours decor. 6. Abrasive scrubs, steel wool - scratches surface. SCRATCH TOUCH-UP: 1. Use laminate touch-up markers (matching colour). 2. Wax fill sticks for small dents/chips. 3. Replace plank if damage is severe. PROTECTION: 1. Felt pads on all furniture legs. 2. Walk-off mats at every entry - critical for laminate. 3. Stable indoor humidity (40-60% RH). 4. Maintain expansion gaps at walls (don't push furniture against walls). LIFESPAN with this routine: 10-15 years residential. WHEN TO REPLACE: 1. Visible wear-through to decor layer. 2. Edge swelling from water. 3. Joint separation, peaking. 4. Faded patches.
