Hardwood floor care has come a long way over the past few decades as the technology for safer hardwood floor cleaners and better tools has developed. Now, maintaining beautiful hardwood is easier than ever, thanks to high-quality hardwood floor care products.
If you have installed new hardwood or laminate flooring in your home, there’s no doubt you want to protect your investment. We’ll cover a few basics on how to care for hardwood floors and keep laminate floors damage-free. From pro tips to the best products, you can find everything you need to keep your flooring like new at Panel Town & Floors.
The recommended steps for laminate and hardwood floor care are the same:
Laminate flooring is made of wood fibers, and moisture damages wood, so wet mopping is never recommended for either hardwood or laminate floor maintenance. Save your mop and bucket for tile or 100% synthetic flooring like vinyl plank flooring.
The difference between hardwood and laminate floor care is the type of cleaner suitable for each surface. Common floor cleaner additives can damage laminate, so make sure you use specially formulated laminate floor cleaners. Likewise, hardwood floor cleaners should be labeled as such to ensure they are safe.
Laminate floors are scratch resistant, but no flooring type is scratch-proof. We are often asked how to take care of laminate hardwood flooring to prevent scratching. Unlike solid hardwood, you can’t buff or sand scratched laminate, and there aren’t any laminate floor protection products that can be applied to the surface as a protective layer.
Prevention is key, so we recommend using furniture pads under furniture that’s heavy or frequently moves over floors, like chairs.
Now that we’ve covered the basics, we’re answering some frequently asked questions about hardwood floor care products.
We stand behind all the quality hardwood floor maintenance products we carry. If you’re looking for an eco-friendly brand of hardwood floor cleaner, we recommend you check out WOCA (Woodcare of Denmark). They also have laminate floor cleaners and hardwood floor stains and finishes.
The Panel Town & Floors online store has everything you need for beautiful flooring. Shop our inventory of laminate and hardwood floor care products, order hardwood flooring online or consult with one of our National Wood Flooring Association (NWFA)-certified flooring specialists.
