Laminate Care and Maintenance
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 a solution of clear, non-sudsy ammonia-based cleaner in one gallon of warm water. Mannington now approves the use of residential steam-based cleaners for the Restoration Collection®.
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 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 below:
