Weekly clean
- Sweep or vacuum with a hard-floor setting to remove grit that scratches
- Mop with a well-wrung microfibre mop dampened with water or a cleaner made for the floor
- Dry any wet patches straight away
Avoid
- Soaking the floor or using a steam mop, unless the manufacturer says it is safe
- Abrasive cleaners and wax on laminate
- Dragging furniture, so use felt pads under the legs
Marks and scuffs
Rub scuffs gently with a dry or slightly damp microfibre cloth, and treat sticky marks with a little washing-up liquid on a damp cloth.
Common questions
Can I use vinegar on a wooden floor?
Strong or undiluted vinegar can dull some finishes, so use a cleaner designed for wood or the manufacturer's recommendation.
