Laminate flooring can be considered the lower-maintenance and cost-effective version of your everyday hardwood flooring, but with the same wow-factors. Caring for your laminate floors is easy and has low maintenance. Just perform this easy maintenance and cleaning on a regular basis to extend the lifetime of your flooring and keep your floors looking great and good as new.

Here are some easy care and maintenance tips:

• Avoid using water on your flooring whenever possible. Because of the material and how it absorbs water, using an abundance of water can cause your floors to warp over time
• Always start your cleaning process by using a dry mop or vacuum to rid your floors of dust bunnies, dirt, and any other loose particles
• When you want to wet-mop your floor, be sure to only use cotton, terrycloth, or microfiber mops – sponge mops and string wet mops can leave streak marks and allow excess water to sit in the cracks of your flooring, which can cause warping over time
• Spray your laminate floor cleaner directly on to the mop you have chosen to use and avoid spraying any cleaner directly onto your floor to avoid staining
• Be sure to always clean up any spills as soon as possible to avoid staining
• Lay floor mats down in front of your sink and oven in order to avoid excess wear and even wearing throughout your space
