Flooring For Dummies

Basic Advice

  • Never buy cheap laminate flooring – it will become expensive in the long run.
  • Always buy a well known brand with a guarantee.
  • Check what your guarantee covers.
  • Check references of both your supplier and installer and make sure their previous customers are still happy.
  • Get the recommendations of the manufacturer or the supplier regarding ongoing maintenance requirements.
  • Protect entrances to the floor with a good quality dirt trap mat.
  • Sweep, vacuum or wipe with a damp cloth or mop.
  • Best results achieved with a micro-fiber mop.
  • Never use excessive water.
  • Never use abrasive cleaners.
  • Periodically use specially formulated Wood-n-Stone Laminate floor cleaner to maintain the luster and allergy free surface of your floor.
  • Do not stain with varnish or wax the floors, as this treatment will affect the intrinsic properties of the laminate.
  • Remove stubborn stains such as those caused by glue, paint, tar, chewing gum, permanent marker pens etc. with Wood-n-Stone stain remover available at your FLOORS DIRECT store.
