How to Clean Laminate Floors
July 11, 2025
Laminate flooring is widely used in homes and commercial spaces because of its beautiful, durable, scratch-resistant, and moisture-proof properties. However, incorrect cleaning methods can shorten its service life and even cause permanent damage to the surface. This article will not only provide you with professional and scientific cleaning tips but also help you understand our production advantages and customized services in the field of laminate flooring manufacturing, enabling you to make smarter choices in the use and procurement process.

1. Why is it so important to master the correct cleaning method?
The surface of the laminate wood flooring is composed of a high-strength wear-resistant layer. Although it has good scratch and moisture resistance, it still requires the correct cleaning method to maintain its texture and life. Excessive moisture, alkaline detergents, or tools with hard bristles may damage the protective layer, causing cracking, discoloration, warping, and other problems.
2. Daily cleaning operation recommendations
Cleaning frequency: It is recommended to use a soft-bristled broom or microfiber dry mop to sweep dust every day, especially in the entrance and exit areas.
Avoid dust accumulation and wear: gravel and sand attached to the soles of shoes enter the room, and long-term friction will cause surface scratches.
3. Deep cleaning steps (recommended once a week)
Prepare cleaning solution: Add a small spoonful of white vinegar or non-irritating neutral detergent (such as baby shampoo) to a bucket of warm water and mix well.
Wring out the mop: The mop needs to be wrung to a “slightly damp state,” and no water can drip to prevent the floor from absorbing water and swelling.
One-way mopping: Drag along the floor texture in one direction to avoid cross-stains.
Dry mopping to finish: Use a dry mop or dry cloth to wipe the floor in a timely manner after cleaning to ensure that there is no residual water.
4. Special stain treatment techniques
Stain type | Cleaning method |
Ink, oil stains | Wipe with a small amount of alcohol or nail polish remover, then clean with a damp cloth |
Wax stains, chewing gum | Cool with ice cubes, then scrape with a plastic scraper, then clean |
Food residue | Wash with warm water + neutral detergent, then dry mop to finish |
**Note:** Do not use steam mops, steel wool, or detergents containing wax or bleach to avoid damaging the floor structure or surface coating.
5. Tips for floor maintenance
Attach felt pads or protective pads to the feet of furniture.
Control the indoor humidity between **35%-65%** to avoid cracking or swelling.
Place dustproof mats at the entrance to reduce the entry of mud and sand.
Trimming pet claws regularly prevents scratches.
Avoid long-term direct sunlight, and use curtains to block it.
