Care

Thank you for choosing Homebauer laminate flooring. One of the reasons customers love laminate is how easy it is to maintain. With just a few simple habits, your floors can stay beautiful for many years.

Here’s everything you need to know.


Everyday Cleaning Is Simple

For daily care, you don’t need anything special.

  • Sweep or vacuum regularly to remove dust and small debris.

  • Use a soft brush attachment — no rotating beater bars.

  • A dry microfiber mop works great for quick touch-ups.

Regular light cleaning prevents tiny particles from dulling the surface.


Use Only a Little Water

Laminate flooring is durable and moisture-resistant, but it’s not meant to be soaked.

  • Use a slightly damp microfiber mop if deeper cleaning is needed.

  • Wipe up spills as soon as possible.

  • Never use a steam mop or excessive water.

A simple rule: damp is okay — wet is not.


Choose Gentle Cleaners

You don’t need harsh chemicals.

  • Use cleaners specifically made for laminate flooring.

  • Avoid wax, oil-based soaps, or polish.

  • Never refinish or sand laminate flooring.

Laminate is designed to stay beautiful without extra treatments.


Protect High-Traffic Areas

Busy areas like entryways naturally see more wear.

  • Place doormats at entrances to catch dirt.

  • Add area rugs in high-traffic spaces.

  • Use breathable rugs (avoid rubber-backed mats that trap moisture).

These small steps go a long way in protecting your investment.


Protect Your Floor From Furniture

To prevent scratches:

  • Attach felt pads under chair and table legs.

  • Lift furniture instead of dragging it.

  • Use protective mats under office chairs.

Simple precautions help keep your floor looking smooth and clean.


Maintain a Comfortable Indoor Environment

Like most flooring, laminate performs best in a stable indoor environment.

  • Keep indoor humidity between 35%–65%.

  • Avoid extreme temperature changes.

This helps prevent unnecessary expansion or contraction.


Quick Spill Guide

Life happens — and laminate flooring is built to handle everyday accidents.

  • For liquid spills: wipe immediately with a soft cloth.

  • For sticky spots: use a laminate-safe cleaner and a soft cloth.

  • Never use steel wool or abrasive pads.

Most spills clean up easily when handled right away.
