Laminate
How should I clean my laminate floor?
You can sweep, dust or vacuum to keep it free of grit. Also, use a recommended laminate cleaner on a damp flat mop or rag. Do not use a wet mop or sponge to clean your laminate floor. View all of our laminate flooring options here.
Can I use oil-based cleaners for my laminate floor?
No. Do not use any oil-based, polish, wax, ammoniated or abrasive cleaners on your laminate floor. These cause swelling, warping and joint-line separation.
