Frequently Asked Questions:

How to take care of laminate floors?

To take care of laminate floors, use a vacuum cleaner with a hard floor setting or a soft-bristle brush to remove dirt and debris daily. To give the floor a deeper clean, use a damp mop with a microfiber head and a cleaning solution designed specifically for laminate floors. Avoid excessive water, steam cleaners, or abrasive cleaning products that could damage the surface.

How to look after wooden floors?

Wood floors need more maintenance than most other flooring types. They require a daily clean with a brush or vacuum cleaner, but you should avoid mopping them with a wet mop. You can give them a dry mop, but any exposure to water will ultimately lead to damage. Never use a steam cleaner on wooden floors; use rugs to protect high-traffic areas. 

How to care for porcelain tile floors?

Caring for porcelain tile floors is easy. As they are water resistant, you can use a wet mop alongside a suitable cleaning solution to keep them clean. A regular daily clean with a vacuum or brush can also be mopped as needed. Rinse the mop head frequently to avoid spreading dirty water, and dry the floor with a clean towel or cloth to prevent water spots or streaks.

How to care for vinyl flooring?

Vinyl flooring is one of the easiest to care for. Remove dirt and dust with a daily vacuum or brush, and mop when needed. We recommend using a vinyl cleaner to keep the floor looking its best. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, scrubbing brushes, or steam cleaners and clean up spills quickly to prevent staining or damage.

How to take care of LVT flooring?

Taking care of LVT (Luxury Vinyl Tile) flooring is much the same as sheet vinyl flooring. Regularly vacuuming or sweeping the floor will take care of dust and debris. Use a cleaning solution designed explicitly for LVT floors combined with warm water. 

 Then, you can give the floor a more thorough clean when needed with a mop. 

What is floor care?

Floor care refers to the regular maintenance and cleaning methods required to protect and prolong the life of your new floor. This includes sweeping, vacuuming, mopping the floor with appropriate cleaning solutions, and addressing spills or stains quickly. Proper floor care ensures your floor stays clean, sparkling, and in good condition for as long as possible.
