Keep your laminate flooring clean and colorfast: simple cleaning tips will save the day

Laminate flooring is a popular floor covering that is beautiful, practical, and affordable. However, in order for it to serve for a long time and not lose its appearance, it needs to be properly maintained.

House Digest has shared simple and useful cleaning tips to help you keep your laminate flooring clean and shiny.

First of all, before washing the floor, find out the manufacturer's recommendations for your particular laminate.

Secondly, there are detergents that should definitely not be used. For example, you should avoid any type of ammonia or bleach-based cleaners. Both will ruin the coating and lead to dullness. Also, don't use harsh brushes or abrasive powders.

There are some simple ways to clean your laminate floor that will help keep it clean and protect the surface from damage and dullness.

Vinegar

Add one small cup of vinegar to a bucket of water, wring out a cloth well, and wipe the laminate flooring. This solution will not only clean your laminate flooring, but also help it shine.

Dishwashing detergent

Add a few drops of dishwashing detergent to water. This solution will help to clean dirtier surfaces.

Baking soda

If you need to tackle a heavy build-up of dirt, dissolve baking soda in water to the consistency of toothpaste. Apply the mixture to the dirt and rub gently and without pressure.

Special products for laminate flooring

If vinegar and soda cannot cope with dirt, you should look for a detergent designed specifically for laminate floors.
