A Mannington Laminate Floor is the closest thing there is to a "maintenance free" floor. The melamine-impregnated surface with aluminum oxide makes it resistant to dirt and dust.

Ordinarily vacuuming or sweeping is usually sufficient to keep the floor clean. If needed, occasionally clean with a cloth or mop (micro-fiber or terrycloth hooded) slightly moistened with Mannington's Ultra Clean System.

Important Tips

• Never flood the floor with water.
• Do not use soap-based detergents, as these may leave a dull finish on your floor.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners, steel wool or scouring powder, as these may scratch your floor.
• Never wax, polish, sand or lacquer a Mannington Laminate Floor.
• Use doormats outside each entrance to your home to prevent dirt, sand, grit and other substances such as oil, asphalt and driveway sealer from being tracked onto your floor.
• For furnishings, use wide-bearing, non-staining floor protectors, such as clear, hard plastic or non-staining felt protectors, for heavy furnishings.
• Promptly remove all liquid spills, including pet urine.

The overall stain resistance of our Mannington Laminate floors is excellent and most spills will wipe off quickly and easily with a clean, white cloth. Removing certain substances may take a little extra effort, as outlined in the chart below.
