Laminate Care & Maintenance
for Florida Homeowners

We all know that it can rain at a moment’s notice in Florida, but thankfully your laminate floors can handle the high moisture conditions with ease! To make cleaning easier, we recommend placing mats by all entrances for scraping footwear and using racks by doors for footwear removal during rainy weather. Add area rugs with the appropriate backing for laminate floors to add an extra layer of protection. To reduce clean-up time as much as possible, try to minimize the amount of dirt, debris, mud, moisture, and pet dander that reaches your laminate floors.

Removing Dirt & Debris from Laminate Floors
The number one key to keeping your laminate floors looking clean and fresh is removing dirt and debris effectively. This also helps prevent abrasion and scratches to the laminate surface. To achieve this goal, sweep with a gentle bristle broom or dust-mop as frequently as possible.

Life With Pets on Laminate Floors
Keep your pet’s nails trimmed to prevent scratches to your floors. Brushing pets regularly will also reduce the amount of hair and dander on the laminate surface. Place mats under pet food and water bowls to add extra protection and reduce cleaning time.

Treating Spills & Stains on Laminate
You will love how easy it is to treat spills on laminate floors when they occur. Common spills will not damage your floors:

  • Gently lift any solid material with a spoon and paper towels.
  • Wipe up the spill with a dry, clean cloth or paper towels, starting from the perimeter of the spill and working towards the center.
  • Use a laminate-specific cleaner to spot treat as needed and use paper towels to ensure a dry surface afterward.
  • You can wet-mop your laminate floors or use a Swiffer WetJet system whenever you want an efficient, deep clean!
