If you have laminate flooring in your restaurant, office, home, or all three, you know how durable this flooring type is. Laminate comes in many styles and colors, and is designed to resist spills and scuffs,which is why it is one of the most popular flooring types available. Even the most durable flooring, however, requires a little TLC from time to time. Here are some quick and easy laminate floor cleaning tips from your friendly San Diego cleaning company.
1. Don’t Let Dirt Pile Up: This may sound obvious, but the truth is that even a little bit of dirt and debris, if allowed to accumulate, can cause scratches when it is spread by shoes. Sweeping your floor more often not only makes it look better, but it can actually make your floor last longer.
2. Don’t Go Barefoot: Okay, so not many people actually go barefoot in the office, and never in a restaurant kitchen, but at home it probably happens quite frequently. This can actually cause staining over time, due to the natural oils found in the skin of our feet and can also cause more dirt to be spread around.
3. Mop Frequently: Use a mild floor cleanser, preferably the one recommended by the manufacturer of your flooring, and mop at least once a week. Your cleaning service comes in handy here, since most actually mop on a daily, or at the very least a bi-weekly basis.
4. Lift, Don’t Drag: When moving any type of furniture, from office chairs to file cabinets to stoves, make sure to lift and carry it, not drag it across the floor. Doing so can cause gouging
and scratching
Follow these tips to help keep your laminate flooring looking as good as the day when it was first put down.
