Laminate
Daily Laminate Care
To ensure your laminate floors stay beautiful for years, daily care will eliminate dust and debris that can get tracked in from our changing seasons. Just like other hard surface options, the most effective way to maintain your laminate is by regularly sweeping. This helps get rid of the dirt, dust, and bits of gravel or salt from winter shoes that can accumulate. If left unchecked, this can lead to a grungy appearance and even premature wear.
You can also damp-mop your laminate floors for a deeper clean. How often you sweep or mop will really depend on the traffic in your home, especially if you have an active family or pets. For those living in areas prone to more outdoor tracking, like rural Central Indiana or snowy Northern Indiana, you might find yourself sweeping or mopping more frequently. And, as always, kicking off your shoes at the door is one of the best habits you can adopt to protect your laminate from the elements we experience here in Indiana.
Laminate Spills & Stains
Laminate flooring is quite resilient when it comes to both liquid and solid spills, which is a real plus for busy Indiana households. The absolute key to preventing damage from spills is to clean them up right away!
For liquid messes from a spilled glass of sweet tea on a warm summer day or melted snow from boots, simply wipe up the substance immediately with a clean cloth. For solid messes, like tracked-in mud or crumbs from a family dinner, just sweep up the spill with your broom. Both of these cleaning methods are quick and effective, allowing you to get back to enjoying your day without lingering worries. However, if you’re ever unsure how to tackle a particular spill that’s unique to our Indiana lifestyle, don’t hesitate to reach out to our team for personalized advice.
