How to Deep Clean Laminate Floors

 

  1. Start with a Broom & Vacuum Beginning with a broom or vacuum will ensure that you don’t push around dirt and rocks when you move on to the next steps.
  2. Turn Beater Bar Off If you choose to vacuum, make sure the beater bar is turned off and always sweep or vacuum in several directions to remove as much dirt as possible.
  3. Mop After you have removed all loose dirt and debris, damp mop or mop with an approved laminate floor cleaner. .

 

Do not use a mop that is soaked in water. Laminate is made from wood and can become damaged with excess water, especially if it soaks into the flooring. Ideally, your laminate floors should dry within one to two minutes. If they are not drying quickly, you may be using too much laminate floor cleaner or water. Instead, only use the amount of cleaner that is necessary to coat the floor and spread around. It’s best to start at the back of a room and work your way toward the front. By starting in the back, you won’t have to walk through the room to get out!
