Removing Dirt and Debris

Deep cleaning your floors periodically helps to remove embedded dirt and maintain their shine.

  • Damp mop regularly: Deep clean your floors periodically with a damp mop and a mild, pH-neutral cleaner specifically designed for laminate flooring.
  • Avoid excessive moisture: Avoid using excessive water when mopping, as this can seep into the seams and damage the flooring.
