Daily Care

Keep It Clean, Keep It Simple

Laminate flooring thrives on low-maintenance care, so no need to overcomplicate things! A quick sweep or dust mop will keep dirt and crumbs at bay—think of it as your floor’s daily spa treatment. You can also use a vacuum for hard surfaces if you prefer to go that route! For spills or sticky spots, use a damp cloth (not soaking wet, please—remember, laminate is water-resistant, not waterproof!).

Big Spills: No Worries!

It's going to happen, and sometimes it will be messy. For those dreaded coffee spills, wine mishaps, or art-project disasters, start by blotting up the excess immediately (no scrubbing—you’re not scrubbing grout here). Use your laminate's manufacturer-recommended cleaner to tackle tough spots without risking discoloration or damage. Skip the waxes and polishes—laminate doesn’t need the extra shine. In fact, it could permanently ruin your beautiful floors. And as tempting as DIY cleaning hacks can be, trust us: your laminate floor will thank you for following the care guide instead of what you may find on the internet.

Keep Dirt Where It Belongs

Your Laminate Will Appreciate It

Laminate floors and muddy shoes? Not a match made in heaven. Keep the dirt outside by parking those rain boots and sneakers at the door. Your floors will stay cleaner, happier, and far more stylish without a trail of mud stealing the spotlight!

High-Mileage Zones

Rugs Are Your Floor’s Best Friend

For areas that feel more like Grand Central Station than a cozy living room, area rugs are your secret weapon.
