General laminate flooring care and cleaning involves first removing loose debris from the surface of your floor. Obviously larger items can be picked up and removal of other smaller loose particles can be done in a number of ways. Most of the well known methods can be used safely for cleaning laminate flooring such as a traditional dust mop, a broom and dustpan, or a vacuum WITH a hard surface cleaning attachment. Any of these methods should certainly be acceptable for your laminate floor care.
The deep cleaning method of cleaning laminate flooring involves "wet" cleaning. this method of wet cleaning can be done a number of ways. But the safest and most common is a mopping method with a special type of mop and laminate (or general hard surface) floor cleaner from a standing position.
There are a variety of mop kit brands available today and some work much better than others. We advise that you use one of our recommended floor care kits. Be sure whatever method you use that you NEVER saturate your laminate flooring product with an excessive amount of water. This also holds true when wet cleaning any other "wood based" flooring product.

Although there are things that will stain your laminate flooring, each has a unique method to attempt to remove it. We have included a generic stain removal guide for each type flooring in this site. We do suggest however that you ALWAYS verify the manufacturers position before using any methods that may void your warranty. insider help in this area is available in our informative flooring care and cleaning guide
