Be sure to check your warranty for the laminate flooring cleaning and maintenance methods they recommend before you get started.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mopping Laminate Floors<\/h2>\n

Using any type of soap on your laminate floors will only make them look duller. Hot water does a good job and is recommended for damp cleaning.<\/p>\n

Notice we said damp mop your laminate floors, not wet mop! A wet mop can cause separation at the seams of sheet laminate or at all the seams of laminate floor tiles. However, lightly spraying a cleaning product that is specifically made for laminate floors may be okay \u2013 check the warranty first.<\/p>\n
