How to Clean Laminate Floors
Q: We recently installed a Tap-N-Loc floor and love it! How is it cared for? May I use a damp mop on it. Is there any special care for it?
Thanks.

A: Diane I would first like to say I am rather happy that you love your new floor!
In regards to cleaning your floor I would not use a damp mop. For laminate (or any hardwood floor), I would suggest using a microfiber mop with BonaKemi’s (also called Bona) cleaning products. You will want to sweep the floor to remove debris (such as pet hair) then lightly mist a small area and mop with the microfiber mop. Repeat the misting and mopping to clean your floor. You will want to keep regular maintenance as this will vastly increase the life span of your floor. Now for smaller areas, such as a mark from pet nails, you can use a lightly dampened cloth to clean the small area, but for normal maintenance I would suggest using one of the great cleaners from BonaKemi because this stuff can work wonders.
Also, here’s a link to our floor care guide which has great tips on maintaining your floor.
