Ways to care for the flooring must be selected according to the material. Damaging the floor is very easy if you act incorrectly. A laminate, for example, needs to be looked after only with certain cleaning products and tools. It is advisable to purchase everything necessary for cleaning in parallel with the installation of the updated floor. A hard broom can cause scratches on the laminate, so sweeping such a floor should be done especially with a broom, whose fibers are soft. Special nozzles for removing the floor can also be included with the vacuum cleaner.
Do not wash laminate with plenty of moisture. This wood coating does not tolerate water. It is best to use a mop in which there is an automatic spin system. Special cleaning solutions developed for this coating should be added to the water. The proportions for dilution are usually indicated on the packaging. Manufacturer's recommendations must be followed. It is strictly forbidden to clean the laminate using products that contain a large amount of acid or alkali.
It is necessary to monitor the cleanliness of the laminate constantly. It is very important that dust and sand do not accumulate on its surface. You can wash the coating only after removing the abrasive substances, that is, you must first vacuum it or sweep it. This eliminates the risk of scratches and dirty stains.
It is better to first test the new tool by trying to clean a small area of the laminate in an inconspicuous place. The entire surface can be treated if no damage has occurred.
A special detergent must be diluted in water and moistened with a mop in the resulting solution. Sponge or rag should be wrung out carefully. Often you can find recommendations to re-flush the laminate floor with clean water. This will remove all residual detergent.
Different contaminants from the laminate are removed in different ways. A glass alcoholic agent, for example, can remove stains. It is necessary to apply a substance to the contaminated area, and then rub it with a soft cloth. The composition of the cleaning agent should be studied carefully. The protective coating layer can be destroyed by ammonia, so it should not be in solution.
To remove traces left by the sole, you can use a soda solution or a regular eraser. It is strictly forbidden to use wax to give shine to the laminate, since it can spoil the appearance of the material. Laminate polishing is not required since its top coat is initially smooth.
