Maintaining your Laminate Floors
Laminate flooring combines beauty and affordability, but it still requires care to stay in top condition:
RegularCleaning:
- Sweep or vacuum with asoft-bristle attachment.
- Damp mop using alaminate-specific cleaner.
- Never use excessive water orsteam cleaners, as they can damage the laminate.
Protection:
• Use felt pads on furniture legs to prevent scratches.
• Place doormats at entrances to capture dirt and moisture.
Prevent Moisture Damage:
• Wipe up spills promptly.
• Avoid exposing laminate to excessive moisture, as it can warp.

Engineered timber offers the timeless beauty of wood with added stability. To preserve your flooring's allure:
Regular Cleaning:
• Sweep or vacuum with a soft brush attachment.
• Use a damp mop with a manufacturer-recommended wood floor cleaner.
Prevent Scratches:
• Place rugs or mats in high-traffic areas.
• Lift furniture when moving it, and use felt pads on furniture legs.
Control Humidity:
• Maintain stable indoor humidity levels to prevent warping.
