Easy to love, easy to maintain — keep your laminate looking great
Laminate flooring is designed to be low-maintenance — its wear-resistant surface repels most stains and stands up to daily life with minimal effort. The main rule: keep moisture away from the core and seams, unless specified by the manufacturer as waterproof. LA Flooring provides this guide for all Central Florida laminate customers.
Consistent care is the single best way to protect your flooring investment. Follow this routine to keep your laminate floors looking like new for years to come.
Quick habits that protect your floors every day
Deeper care steps to do once a month
These common mistakes can permanently damage your flooring. Keep this list handy.
Wet mopping or steam mopping on standard laminate — moisture is laminate's enemy (unless the manufacturer specifies the product as waterproof)
Wax or polish products — laminate doesn't need and shouldn't have wax
Abrasive scrubbers or steel wool
Rubber-backed mats — use felt-backed rugs instead
For best results, use products specifically formulated for laminate flooring. Our team recommends: Bona Hard-Surface Floor Cleaner or Black Diamond Wood & Laminate Floor Cleaner. A well-wrung damp mop with plain water also works for routine cleaning.

Questions our customers ask us most often about maintaining their laminate floors — answered by our flooring experts.
Laminate floor care comes down to one rule: keep water away from the seams and edges. For day-to-day cleaning, a dry dust mop is sufficient. For deeper cleaning, use a well-wrung damp mop with a laminate-safe cleaner — never a soaking wet mop, never a steam mop. The wear layer on quality laminate is highly resistant to scratching, but grit tracked in from outside can cause micro-scratches over time — frequent sweeping prevents this.
