Balterio Traditions Forest Oak HydroShield 61006 Laminate Flooring Maintenance 

Want to keep your Balterio Traditions Forest Oak HydroShield 61006 Laminate Flooring looking like new for years to come? Like all laminate floors, it will need a small amount of upkeep to ensure it retains its functionality and appearance.

To keep your new floor looking pristine and functioning correctly, follow the maintenance guidelines below.

Check Manufacturer Guidelines

The Balterio Traditions Forest Oak HydroShield 61006 Laminate Flooring comes with specific maintenance instructions provided by the manufacturer. These are tailored to the materials and technology used in the flooring. It is important to review these instructions to properly care for your laminate flooring and ensure its longevity.

Also, it’s worth noting that failing to follow manufacturer guidelines could potentially void the floor's warranty. 

Use the Right Maintenance Products

To keep the Balterio Traditions Forest Oak HydroShield 61006 Laminate Flooring protected, it is important to have the right maintenance products on hand. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners and instead invest in products specifically designed for laminate floors.

One simple and effective way to extend the life of your laminate flooring is by using entrance mats. These mats capture dirt, moisture, and debris from shoes before it can be tracked onto the laminate. This minimises the risk of scratches and other damage. Placing additional mats in high traffic areas, as well as areas prone to spills, can also help protect the floor.

Clean up Spills and Moisture Quickly

Laminate flooring is not designed to handle excessive moisture. Therefore, it is important to clean up any spills quickly to prevent damage and staining. Even if the laminate is 100% waterproof, you should clean up spills quickly to prevent staining. 

When cleaning up spills, avoid getting the laminate too wet. Instead, use a damp cloth or mop to wipe up the spill, and then dry the area with a clean, dry cloth.

Daily Dry Clean Balterio Traditions Forest Oak HydroShield 61006 Laminate Flooring

To keep the Balterio Traditions Forest Oak HydroShield 61006 Laminate Flooring in top condition, give it a light, clean daily. You can easily do this by either vacuuming or sweeping the floor with a light brush. A dry microfiber mop is also a great tool to pick up dust and other debris.

If your home sees a lot of daily foot traffic, you may need to perform light cleaning twice a day instead of just once. This will help to keep the floor continuously clean and looking great.

Protect from Damage

When it comes to caring for the Balterio Traditions Forest Oak HydroShield 61006 Laminate Flooring, there are a few things you can do to prolong its lifespan. Firstly, adding furniture pads to the legs of any furniture in the room can help prevent scratches and other damage when you move them. Additionally, it's a good idea to avoid walking over the floor in high heel shoes, as these can cause dents and scratches over time.

While these tips will help you to protect and keep your new Balterio Traditions Forest Oak HydroShield 61006 Laminate Flooring clean, it's essential to follow the manufacturer's guidelines. If you're unsure which products to use, it's always best to seek advice from the manufacturer or supplier. At Stories Flooring, we are always on hand to answer any questions or concerns you may have.
