Laminate flooring 'can be swept clean'

Cleaning laminate flooring is as simple as giving it a quick sweep with a brush to get rid of the surface dirt and dust.

That is the opinion of Anthony Davis, who said in a piece for Ezine Articles that laminate flooring does not need to be treated with expensive cleaning materials to look its best.

Mr Davis said that a vacuum cleaner could sometimes be used as a faster option than a brush.

He said: "Be careful that the vacuum either has no beater bar, or that it is disabled, or it will damage both the vacuum and the floor."

Some vacuum cleaners have a hard floor option that makes the beater bar retreat, he added.

Mr Davis advised using a damp cloth to remove any stains rather than attempting to wash the laminate flooring as that could cause it to warp.

Laminate flooring is a good choice for busy homeowners with pets or children as it is simple to clean spills up from.
