Laminate Flooring Care
Laminate
floors are extremely durable and will last for years if you maintain
regular cleaning procedures and protect them from grit and sharp
objects.
Follow
these steps for usual laminate care:
| • |
Use
felt pads, or wide based casters underneath all chair and furniture
legs. |
| • |
When
moving heavy objects across the floor always use extra care
and place walk off mats by all exterior doorways. |
| • |
Vacuum
your floor regularly using soft brush attachments |
| • |
Wipe
with a damp cloth or mop when needed. |
| • |
Do
not polish or wax these floors. |
| • |
Never
refinish or sand a laminate floor. |
| • |
Do
not use steel wool or any harsh abrasive cleaners on the floor. |
To Repair Laminate Flooring
| • |
Minor
Scratches |
| |
There
are special, color-coordinating pencils that may be used to
fill the scratches in laminate floor. |
| • |
Seam
Gaps |
| |
Colored
filler touch up products may be used for gaps between plank
seams. Follow Manufacturer's instructions for your specific
product. |
| • |
Chips |
| |
Colored
burn-in sticks are available which are used with special electric
knives to repair chips, deep gouges and scratches. |
A plank
can be replaced without destroying the rest of the floor if damage
is too severe for touch ups. This can easily be replaced by a professional
installer, unless you are a handy 'do-it-yourself er' there are
special tools, router bits, and wood splines to make the chore easier.
*This
is a general recommendation. Individuals are responsible for finding information
from specific product manufacturer. Always read the manufacturer's warranty
and literature to see what is recommended.
