from your supplier. It is vital that you treat your
flooring according to these guidelines in order not
to void your warranty.
One of the main benefits of laminate flooring tiles
or planks is that it gives busy folks a truly low
maintenance decor option. You will need little more
than a damp mop and a brushless vacuum to keep
the floor in tip-top shape.
Most manufacturers have dedicated laminate
flooring cleaners for tough spots. Oil, paint or
rubber heel marks may be removed with an acetone nail polish, if your supplier concurs.
Never use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, wax or polish. If you use a cloth to wipe away spots, make sure that it is color fast.Also use common sense and buy felt pads to place under furniture feet. Keep pet claws trimmed. Use non-slip area rugs liberally, especially in doorways, as grit and grime may lead to scratches. Most manufacturers have cover sticks that can be used to magically work a disappearance act on these.
From the looks of it, the buzz about installing laminate flooring is more than just home remodeling hype. These floors can give any interior space, from living rooms to bathrooms, an amazing face-lift.
