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.
