Caring for Laminate.

Regular cleaning

• Sweep, dust mop or vacuum regularly to remove dirt and grit.
• Use a vacuum with a hard-floor setting where possible.
• Clean spills promptly to keep moisture out of the joins.
• Use entrance mats at external doors to reduce tracked-in debris.
• Choose non-staining mats; avoid rubber-backed or coco fibre mats directly on the planks.

Mopping and products

• Use a lightly damp microfibre mop for routine cleaning.
• Avoid excessive water during cleaning.
• Use cleaners suited to laminate floors and follow their instructions.

Steam mops are not recommended. Excessive heat and moisture can damage the floor and may affect warranty coverage.

Furniture and heavy items

• Apply felt pads to furniture legs.
• Lift furniture when moving it rather than dragging it.
• Use protective mats beneath office chairs and other mobile furniture.
• Avoid dropping heavy or sharp objects onto the surface.

Pets and everyday wear

• Keep pet nails trimmed to help minimise scratching.
• Place mats beneath pet water bowls.
• Remove sand, stones and grit promptly.

Moisture and conditions

• ATS Laminate carries a water-resistant surface built for everyday household spills.
• It is more forgiving than traditional flooring, but still remove standing water as soon as practical.
• Avoid prolonged exposure to excessive moisture.

What to avoid

Keep these away from your Laminate floor:

• Steam mops
• Wet mopping or excessive water
• Harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners
• Steel wool or scouring pads
• Dragging furniture across the floor
• Standing water or flooding
• Rubber-backed or coco fibre mats directly on the planks
