Installation care and cleaning instructions for laminate flooring:

1. Before installing a laminate floor, ensure that the floor is level (not to be more than 3mm per meter variance).
2. Expansion gaps 1mm per meter of floor (both sides). Do not exceed an 8mm meter without expansion gap. Use expansion gaps in all doors.
3. Check to see if sub floor does not have excessive moisture content (not more than twenty percent).  
4. Use a vapor barrier with underlay.
5. If sub floor is new allow minimum of 30 days to cure sufficiently (weather conditions).
6. Laminate floor is a finished product and does not require floor polish. 
7. Daily vacuum cleaning or sweeping with a soft broom is generally sufficient.
8. When you wish to clean with a mop it is essential to use as little water as possible.
9. Use a damp mop. (Supplied by LFD)
10. Do not use a spaghetti mop or pour water directly on the floor.
11. Do not rub with abrasives (e.g. coarse or gritty steel wool).
12. Never use steam cleaning equipment.
13. Remember when cleaning a laminate floor – less is more.
14. Although laminate floors are very resistant to wear and scratches, use felt pads under furniture legs, and pads or plastic cups under chair legs as an added precaution.
