How to clean laminate floors

Laminate floors give the look of wood with easy maintenance, but they’re just as sensitive to excess moisture. A light clean with Universal Cleaner keeps them streak-free and looking sharp without damage.

 

What you need

✔ Universal Cleaner with Spray Mop
✔ Deep Clean Pad or Everyday Pad (for textured laminate)
✔ Dusting Pad (optional, for loose grit)

Step-by-step guide

Step 1
Start by dusting the floor with a Dusting Pad if needed to remove grit and debris.

Step 2
Fill the Spray Mop with Universal Cleaner solution.

Step 3
Use one trigger pull of solution for every 1–2 square metres of flooring.

Step 4
Choose your pad wisely: Deep Clean Pads deliver a deeper clean, but on textured laminate surfaces they can drag — in that case, switch to an Everyday Pad for smoother glide.

Step 5
Work backward across the room to avoid stepping on freshly cleaned sections.

Step 6
Keep moisture to a minimum and ensure the surface is almost dry as you finish each patch.

 

Pro tip

Frequent light cleans are safer for laminate than heavy soaking — less solution keeps the surface fresh and prevents swelling at the joins.

 

Safety first: Spot test to ensure compatibility with finishes. Never store the Spray Mop with a used or wet pad facing the floor, as this can leave blemishes.
