Laminate mopping? You didn't know these tips
A beautiful laminate floor completes the style of your interior, but to keep the shine, regular maintenance is crucial. In this comprehensive article, we share essential tips and tricks to clean and shine your laminate flooring, which will not only keep your floor cleaner but also make it look like new.
The importance of regular maintenance
One of the foundations of perfect-looking laminate flooring is regular maintenance. By removing dirt and dust on a daily basis, you will prevent wear and tear and maintain the original shine of your floor. In addition, it is important to mop your laminate flooring regularly with the right cleaning product. Use a mop with which you do not mop too wet, such as the Techweise 4-in-1 Mopping Set.
Let's start cleaning your floor right now. Here is a step-by-step plan to clean your laminate floor with the right products.
Steps for mopping a laminate floor
1. Start by vacuuming your laminate floor
A soft broom or vacuum cleaner with a suitable parquet brush is ideal for clearing your laminate floor of dust and dirt. Remember to thoroughly treat the corners and edges to prevent dirt build-up. When we mop and steam in a moment, we don't want to have dust in our mop. It is also advisable to include baseboards. A lot of dust comes from baseboards which makes your floor dirty again in no time.
2. Optional: use a steam cleaner to kill bacteria
After you have vacuumed, we are going to thoroughly clean the laminate floor. For this we use a steam cleaner with mopping function. Steam cleaners, such as the Techweise NV286 steam cleaner, are not only durable but also extremely effective. They offer deep cleaning by using controlled steam pressure. After all, you take in all sorts of things, which is why this requires deep cleaning.
An advantage of steaming is that steam kills bacteria and removes stubborn dirt without making damage to the laminate surface. In addition, you don't need chemical agents because hot steam does all the work. So super durable and effective!
2.1 Prefer mopping? Choose the right cleaner for your type of floor
If you do not (yet) have a steam cleaner, mopping is also an excellent way to clean your laminate floor. Just be sure to use laminate cleaner and no other soaps. Also, always mop with cold water, as hot water evaporates faster than soap, leaving oily soap residue on the floor.
Always use a good mop, too. The Techweise 4-in-1 Mop Set provides optimal cleaning performance for cleaning a laminate floor. The microfiber mop cloths thoroughly absorb dirt and liquids, while the flexible pad ensures that every corner of the floor is reached. In addition, this mop includes a wringing system that allows you to control the dryness of the pads.

2.2 Mop with cold water instead of hot water
When mopping with hot water, the water can evaporate faster than the soap residue you use. This means the soap remains on the floor, which can cause streaks. Cold water evaporates more slowly, allowing the soap residue to be better absorbed by the mop and not left on the floor. This prevents streaks and gives you a nicer, streak-free result.
3. Allow the floor to dry
After clearing the floor of dirt and bacteria, it is important that you let the floor dry thoroughly. Above all, do not walk on it already. If you do, you will make the floor dirty and have a chance of streaking.
Tips to prevent damage to your floor
Accidents happen, but with the right knowledge you can effectively address and prevent stains. In addition, this will prevent permanent damage to your laminate flooring, such as its swelling.
1. React quickly to spills
An immediate response to spills prevents absorption and possible staining. Use an absorbent cloth and dab gently. Do not use chemical cleaners as this may affect the shine of your floor.
2. Prevent scratches with protective felts
Place protective felts under furniture legs to prevent scratches on laminate flooring. It also helps not to slide the furniture across the floor, but to lift it up when you sit at the table. This will help you enjoy your laminate flooring for many more years.
Conclusie
Following these practical tips for cleaning a laminate floor will not only preserve the beautiful appearance of your floor, it will also make your laminate floor last a lot longer. Don't forget to take care of your laminate on a regular basis and discover the benefits of advanced cleaning equipment like the Techweise 4-in-1 Dweilset and the NV286 steam cleaner for a spotless floor you can enjoy for years to come.
