Precaution With Laminate Flooring

[priyalok 0]

I am planning for laminate flooring in my bedrooms.

As I must take care not to spill water, just curious how to protect:

- area near toilet

- area near windows - must close window all times when going out in case it rains?

Yes, make it a habit. In fact, I even close the windows of my kitchen, utility room & living room when I go out though laminated flooring is only installed in the bedrooms.

This one I can't comment cos I have no master bedroom toilet

I reckon making a kerb outside the toilet will help. Also, a mat with rubber layer at the bottom is better, so that water will not sip thru & go into the laminated flooring. Just my common sense thinking

Which one do you want to know? Wood/parquet or laminated? They are different.

For laminated flooring, just use very dry mop with plain water is good enough. But I am a bit kiasu, I use Sofix once a month to make my floor feels smoother.

Hi, I have laminated flooring in my living room and parquet in my bedrooms. What's Sofix?

Sofix is the brand name for a cleaning agent.

The kerb is a good idea. But a rubber mat will actually trap water beneath it if you're not careful, so best to use carpet rug instead.

Best way to maintain laminate and wooden floors is to damp mop with water (wring tightly first) once, then dry mop again. The cleaning agent can be used once a week, depending on your level of traffic.

Cheers.
