When I was nearing completion on my research for the article How to Clean Laminate, I sent an email to one of my very close friends (who I know to have laminate floors) to ask her if she had any laminate floor cleaning tips. What she told me was rather astonishing. While she did confirm for me that it’s not necessary to clean laminate flooring very often, she also confirmed my suspicions that it’s pretty common for people to not know how to clean laminate flooring correctly. Almost everything she told me she was doing to clean laminate wood floors was in direct opposition to my own research… research that included care instructions from several manufacturers of laminate flooring. Needless to say, the moment I get this blog post finished, I’ll be sending her a link to this article. I’m just hoping she hasn’t already done irreparable damage to her wood laminate flooring. And while I’m at it, may I suggest that you, too, read my article on cleaning laminate flooring.
