How to Keep Your Laminate Floors Clean

Don’t Let Stains Remain

One of the most important things to remember is that liquids can damage even the best quality laminate flooring. So, it’s critical to minimize exposure to them. This means tackling spills as they happen – don’t wait until the liquid has dried and become a harder-to-remove stain.

In addition to wiping up spills immediately, it’s also important to sweep or vacuum your floors regularly. This will help keep dirt and dust from building up and causing scratches or other damage. By tackling spills and dirt as soon as possible, you reduce the likelihood of them permanently staining your beautiful floor.

 

Don’t Use Abrasive Equipment

Even the best quality laminate flooring can scratch, so steer clear of anything abrasive such as steel wool. You’ll want to use a soft-bristle broom or dust mop to sweep up debris. Additionally, if you are vacuuming, try to avoid using attachments with sharp bristles or rotating brushes.

The important thing to remember is that dirt and spills can be removed easily from laminate flooring. So, be sure to use soft bristles, or damp mops or materials to clean your floor effectively.

 

Regularly Mop

To keep your laminate floors fresh, mop them every two months. Make sure to use a wet mop and a detergent that is not too acidic or strong. Be sure to rinse the floors well afterwards to remove any soap residue.

As durable as it may be, even the best quality laminate flooring requires a little TLC. Like any floor, regular care allows you to retain your floor’s stunning appearance for a long time. Additionally, the more it is cared for, the more durable it remains. As spills and liquids are removed, it prevents the floor from absorbing substances that can create damp or mould which could ruin your floor and require a replacement.

 

Don’t Use Too Much Water

A large quantity of the best quality laminate flooring is waterproof nowadays. However, it is important not to overdo it with water when cleaning. Too much water can lead to seepage and warping. This can cause the floor to begin to move underfoot, creating ripples and tears in the floor. As a result, you floor becomes more susceptible to damage. Furthermore, too much water can cause staining and fading. This will obviously affect the appearance of your floor as it begins to lose its stunning, authentic look.

When cared for properly, laminate flooring requires less effort than other flooring types. Therefore, we recommend that when cleaning, you stick to a damp mop and dry it off completely when done. This should require minimal effort as stains and spills should wipe away easily. Ensuring you do not use too much water will ensure that your floor remains in excellent condition for years to come.

 

Avoid Cleaning Products Not Made for Laminate

If you use laminate cleaner, do so sparingly and apply it to the mop or microfiber cloth rather than directly to the floor. This will minimize the amount of moisture that gets on the floor and help reduce the risk of warping or damage.

Oil-based cleaning products that are not designed for laminate can leave stains and streaks that become impossible to remove. Additionally, wax and polishes should be avoided as they create stains as well as slippery surfaces that could cause injury to you. Even the best quality laminate flooring requires suitable cleaning products that are designed to maintain your floor’s stunning appearance.

 

Try a DIY Cleaning Product

You can make your own floor cleaner right at home. For regular cleaning, just combine a teaspoon of clear, unscented dish soap with hot water. Be sure to rinse well and wring out your mop before starting your next section.

If your floor has developed a slight film or waxy build up on it, you can instead combine a gallon of hot water with a cup of white vinegar. Pour this mixture into a spray bottle and apply it to your floor. Let it sit for about five minutes before scrubbing it in with a brush or mop. Rinse the floor well and wring out your mop before starting your next section. Vinegar is a natural cleaning agent, and is effective and breaking down dirt without impacting the laminate surface.

Be cautious when making your own cleaning agents to not include anything that can stain or fade your laminate floors, because once the damage is done, it is hard to rectify it.

 

Trim Your Pet’s Nails

Whilst this isn’t a cleaning tip, it is certainly important to retain your floor’s lovely appearance. Whilst the best quality laminate floor is resistant to a lot of scratches, over time, pets with long and sharp nails can cause damage. Even with the best quality laminate flooring, deep scratches are impossible to remove and will begin to affect your floor’s appearance. Therefore, ensuring that your pets’ nails are not too long is a great way to preserve your floor for a long time.

 

Protect the Floor

Rugs and mats are a great way to protect your floors, particularly in busy areas such as door entrances where people may walk in wearing muddy footwear. Place a mat or rug at all entrances to your home and make sure everyone takes their shoes off before entering. This is a great way to keep mud located in one, manageable location and not staining your laminate floor.

Additionally, rugs under tables and chairs can prevent scratches, as well as collect food crumbs and spills. Whilst these will also need cleaning occasionally, it is far easier to put these in a wash instead of scrub your laminate floor.

 

At Tech Flooring, we believe that everyone should be proud of their floor. Therefore, aside from stocking, selling and installing the best quality laminate flooring, we are dedicated to educating people in how to care for their floor.

How to take care of your laminate and LVT floors

By | Laminate Flooring | No Comments

 

When you buy top laminate flooring, you want to look after it. Keeping your floor in brand-new condition might seem like a challenge, but it doesn’t have to be. There are actually lots of easy things you can do to keep your floor looking fresh for years to come.

Here at TechFlooring, we want to help you make the most out of your flooring. We know that when you purchase a new floor, you’re making an investment that can increase the value of your property. By following these tips and tricks, your laminate or LVT floor can stay looking shiny and new!

Care for Your Laminate Flooring

 

Why laminate and LVT?

Surprisingly, laminate and LVT floors share quite a few similarities when it comes to maintenance.

Laminate floors are stylish, low maintenance and affordable. LVT floors are more luxury and very durable. Both types of flooring have a thickness that allows for a deeper etching on their surface. This means that they are more realistic looking than other flooring options. However, both flooring types need careful maintenance to keep them looking new and fresh.

Let’s dive into how you can take care of your laminate and LVT floors.

 

Be wary of water

Whilst it might seem like a good idea to heavily soak your floors, this can actually do them a lot of damage. Water can soak through the cracks in the flooring and cause mould and other issues. To avoid this, only mop your laminate and LVT floors with a damp mop. After a gentle once over, you can go in with a spot cleaner to get rid of tougher stains.

 

Sweeping is key

You may be surprised to learn that sweeping is actually the key to keeping your floor fresh and scratch-free. A build-up of dirt, hair and fluff can, over time, create scratches on your floor. Something as simple as quickly sweeping your floor once a day can make the world of difference. Using a soft brush, gently sweep over your floor, gathering dust, dirt and crumbs.

You can also use a vacuum on a gentle setting to get rid of surface level dirt as well.

 

Keep the dirt out

One of the simplest ways to keep your floor looking pristine is to have a doormat. Having a doormat helps eliminate dust and dirt from entering the house in the first place. It means that any shoes or paws will be wiped in some way before entering the room.

 

Check your furniture

The legs and wheels of furniture can cause more damage to your floor than you might think. Legs from tables or chairs can cause dents in your floor. However, this is easily avoided. Get yourself some floor protectors and attach them to the bottom of any furniture legs and wheels. This protects your floor from pressure damage.

Vinyl- The most practical floor available?

Vinyl flooring is a classic option for homes and commercial properties alike. This is because it is super durable. Vinyl floors are also stain and water resistant. This makes them a great choice for bathrooms and kitchens. Busy commercial applications tend to suit vinyl floors as well. Vinyl is comfortable underfoot and comes in a range of thicknesses. This thickness means that the vinyl muffles echoes and reduces noise. This makes it a good choice for busy households with pets or children.

Our vinyl floors come in a wide range of designs. The black and white tile style vinyl creates a timeless look in bathrooms. There are also wood and stone effect styles available. Looking for flooring companies near me? Get in touch today to get a free quote.

A vinyl floor that we’ve been loving at the moment is the Soft Step range from Abingdon Flooring. This range can not only expertly withstand water, but it also is beautifully comfortable underfoot. These vinyl floors are easy to clean and come with slip-resistant technology. The Soft Step range has a wide variety of designs available. Whether it’s wood, stone or patterned effects, there’s something for everyone.

 

Luxury Vinyl Tiling (LVT)- What makes it so good?

The next level up from vinyl is luxury vinyl tiling. If you are looking for something more luxurious than vinyl, this could be the perfect choice for you. LVT is made up of multiple layers of PVC vinyl. Additional compounds are then added to make the floor extra hard and durable.

Just like vinyl, LVT is super durable and waterproof. One of the main advantages to choosing vinyl flooring is that it looks very realistic. Unlike vinyl, the top layer of LVT floors can be embossed. This means characteristic grooves and lines can be added to the floor. This makes the LVT floors almost indistinguishable from traditional wood or stone floors. LVT floors are also soft and warm underfoot. Searching for flooring companies near me that install LVT floors? Contact us today.

Not sure which LVT floor to go for? Recently, we’ve been loving stocking and installing the LVT range from Amtico. Their Spacia collection is splash resistant, easy to clean and compatible with underfloor heating. This collection is all about beautiful, simple floors that will work well in any property. Their contemporary wood and stone designs can bring elegance to any interiors.

 

Laminate

If you’re feeling like vinyl and LVT are not the right options, then laminate could be the perfect choice for you! Laminate floors are durable, stylish and budget-friendly. Laminate floors are manufactured into planks, meaning that you can perfectly tailor them to the size of your room. Laminated floors are also hygienic and super easy to clean. This makes them a great low maintenance room option. Having a look for flooring companies near me? Why not try Techflooring.

Laminate floors are well-suited to high traffic areas like living rooms, hallways and lobbies. Opting for a darker coloured laminate in these high traffic areas is a good idea.

An important thing to think about when choosing laminate flooring is the thickness. Laminate floors range between 6 to 12mm thick. As a rule of thumb, the thicker the laminate floor is, the higher quality it is. Thicker laminate floors are from 10 to 12mm thick and come with a number of advantages. They provide heat insulation and can also reduce noises and echoes. They are also more comfortable to walk on. However, thicker laminate floors are slightly more expensive which is something to remember if you are on a budget.

We stock and install fantastic quality laminate floors from EGGER. EGGER is one of the leading suppliers of high-quality laminate flooring in Europe. Looking for something classic yet modern? EGGER’s Light Urban range perfectly balances minimalism and comfort.

 

Carpet

If you are looking for a flooring that is soft and cosy, carpet could be the best choice for you. Carpet is comfortable, stylish and surprisingly practical. Choosing a lighter coloured carpet means you won’t have to be cleaning all the time as dirt is disguised. This makes lighter coloured carpets a good choice for high traffic areas like hallways or stairs.

The first thing you need to think about when choosing carpet is what sort of material you would like. Wool carpets are a classic choice and are super luxurious. They are also a sustainable choice because they are made from natural fibres. However, wool carpets can be quite expensive which is something to bear in mind.

The other carpets available are those manufactured with man-made fibres. These include nylon and polyamide carpets. These carpets tend to be very durable and come in a huge range of colours and designs. Why not try one of the innovative stain-resistant carpets from Lano’s SmartStrand range? These carpets have built in stain-resistance and a nanotechnology spill shield. The SmartStrand range is a great choice for commercial properties and busy homes. If you’ve been searching for flooring companies near me, Techflooring could be your perfect answer.

Hopefully, this has given you a deeper look into the main types of flooring and what their individual advantages are. For more information and to get a free quote, contact us today!

Find the Perfect Laminate Flooring for Your Home

Future Retro

This design style combines classic features of the past with the innovation of the future. Modern interpretations of natural textures such as marble, terrazzo and walnut characterise this design. The future retro style works by combining wood, metal and stone in a timeless way. The range comes in a selection of neutral colours. The wooden and marble textures pair really well with metal furniture. The future retro style is a great choice if you are looking for something timeless and simple.

Pure Nature

There has been a growing trend for bringing a sense of nature into your décor. This is often known as the ‘Green Living’ trend. This style is super easy to find a laminate floor for. Any wood style laminate floor instantly creates a sense of nature. These are simple, classic floors that look great in any home or property. Pair these floors with bamboo or woven rugs, plants and light wooden furniture.

Light Urban

Light Urban is a popular city-inspired trend. It focuses on living spaces being more fluid as each room flows into the next. This is a great trend if you are working with a small space because it is quite minimalist. Choose light coloured floors to make your space feel bigger. A lighter coloured floor is also lower maintenance. This is because dirt and dust are disguised and you won’t have to be vacuuming all the time. Try choosing a lighter wood-style laminate floor and pairing it with simple metal furniture. You can add interest with a funky rug or bright cushions.

Perfect Imperfection

This trend is all about combining a deliberate ‘worn-out’ style with clean lines. Try choosing a darker wood style or grey stone laminate floor. You can pair these with antique furniture pieces or ‘shabby chic’ style furniture. Grey, charcoal and dark blue are satisfying colours to choose for your flooring. You can then add woven or shaggy rugs to get that ‘perfectly imperfect’ look.

It can be hard to find the right laminate floor with so many options out there. That’s why narrowing down which trend or style you like the most makes it much easier. Have a think about the space you’re working with. Some spaces are better suited to styles than others.

Installing laminate flooring is more hygienic than wooden floors

A big advantage of choosing laminate floors is that they are very easy to clean and are more hygienic than wooden floors. Their solid, smooth texture allows for hoovering, wiping and mopping to be easy and fast so you can spend less time cleaning and more time relaxing. They are quite stain-resistant and so are the perfect option for kitchen and dining rooms, so you should consider installing laminate flooring.

When installing laminate flooring you need to also look into the thickness

Laminate floors have a huge advantage in that you can choose the thickness to suit your specific needs. If you’ve opted for an imitation wood design, a thicker laminate can feel more like a traditional wood surface. An advantage of a thicker floor is that it can also help with sound proofing and heat insulation. Thicker floorings are, however, more expensive than thinner ones so you can tailor the thickness of your floors in different rooms according to your budget and stylistic needs, however, we do recommend to go to a medium thickness as too thin can mean the floor will not last as long, so in the long run it saves you money so you don’t not need to redo them after they worn out, but instead restore them. This is much cheaper as well.
