Routine Cleaning
Regular care is the secret to pristine laminate floors. Our team uses soft-bristled brooms and special non-abrasive vacuums to eliminate debris, ensuring your floors remain scratch-free. We advocate for dry or damp mopping, using specially formulated laminate floor cleaners that maintain the lustre without causing damage.

Spills are inevitable, but their impact doesn’t have to be lasting. At Your Service responds swiftly to clean up spills, using absorbent materials and damp cloths to prevent moisture damage, safeguarding your laminate’s integrity.

Understanding what not to use is as crucial as knowing the proper cleaning solutions. We steer clear of steam mops, excessive water, and harmful chemicals. Our eco-friendly, pH-neutral cleaning solutions protect your floors without leaving harmful residues or causing wear.
Floor Protection
We go beyond cleaning. Our team can advise and install protective measures such as furniture pads, entrance mats, and rugs to shield your laminate flooring from scratches, dents, and debris, ensuring longevity and maintaining appearance.
Pet-Friendly Practices
Pets are part of the family but can be harsh on floors. We offer tips and services to manage pet claws and spills, including recommending appropriate mats for food and water bowls to keep your laminate looking new.
Expert Advice on Avoiding Damage
Our expertise extends to advising on the proper care products, avoiding oil-based cleaners and those containing wax or bleach that can damage the laminate’s protective coating. We ensure your cleaning routine is safe and effective.
Furniture and Movement
To prevent scratches and potential damage from furniture and office chairs, we recommend and provide felt pads and protective mats. Our team can assist in arranging your space to minimise floor wear.

Regular sweeping or vacuuming should be done as needed to remove dirt and debris, while damp mopping with a suitable laminate cleaner can be done weekly or as spills occur.
What cleaning solutions are safe for laminate floors?
Use pH-neutral cleaners specifically designed for laminate flooring. Avoid using wax, polish, or oil-based cleaners, as they can damage the floor or leave a residue.
Can water damage laminate floors?
Yes, laminate floors can be damaged by excessive water. It’s essential to clean up spills immediately and use a damp mop rather than a wet one.
How can I prevent scratches on my laminate flooring?
Use protective pads under furniture legs, lift rather than drag furniture, and keep pets’ nails trimmed. Also, consider placing mats in high-traffic areas.
Is it okay to use vinegar for cleaning laminate floors?
Vinegar can be used in a diluted form as a natural cleaning solution, but it’s essential to use it sparingly and to ensure the floor is dried afterwards to avoid damage.

Minor scratches can be covered with a laminate repair kit. For more significant damage, individual boards may need to be replaced. Consult with a flooring expert for the best solution.
How do I protect laminate floors from furniture?
Use felt pads under furniture legs and avoid dragging furniture across the floor. For heavier items, use a protective mat or area rug.
Can I use rugs or carpets on laminate flooring?
