In some situations, your laminate flooring may be just as durable as other flooring in your home, like your hardwood floors. Unlike hardwood flooring, you can't resurface laminate if scuff marks, scratches, and other types of surface damage occur. To avoid costly replacement and repairs, you need to treat them with special care. However, taking care of your laminate flooring does not require a tremendous amount of effort. Follow the manufacturer's instructions to the letter. The brand that you purchased might have specific cleaning requirements based upon the cleaning materials that were used. For example, Mohawk laminate is pretty easy to clean. You will only need to vacuum it and mop it with a dry cloth. Mohawk does make a cleaning solution or you can use plain water when you deep clean your laminate each month.
