Best Answer

Your laminate flooring makes a beautiful addition to your home and you need to maintain it in order to protect your investment. Clean your laminate flooring by using a dry mop, broom or vacuum cleaner to remove all the heavy dirt, dust and hair. Then use a steam mop or slightly damp cloth to clean and sanitize your floor and make it shine. Avoid using a traditional mop because this will leave too much water and cause your floor to swell and buckle. Avoid using any chemicals on your floor as this will destroy the floor's protective finish.
