Averse to water and wetness, less is more when it comes to cleaning laminate.
Every day: Frequent sweeping is vital in keeping laminate flooring grit and dirt free - you can vacuum if you prefer, but always use a hard-floor attachment.
Wash laminate flooring only with a flat mop that can be wrung out to within an inch of its life, so it gets a just-damp wipe rather than a wet soaking. Use clean warm water only or a specialist laminate cleaner suitable for your type of floor and always follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Always check manufacturer's instructions first. Always try a test patch first. If you are unsure as to whether the item you are cleaning is suitable for our instructions, take professional cleaning advice first.
