Instructions for Cleaning DuPont Laminate Flooring

Clean DuPont laminate flooring with ease.

DuPont flooring is a popular, durable alternative to hardwood flooring. This laminate contains a heavy-duty wood with a layer of printed wood that closely resembled the look of hardwood. The layer of print is then covered with a protective gloss layer that prevents the laminate from spills and stains. To clean the DuPont laminate flooring, purchase high-priced commercial floor cleaners, or make your own homemade floor cleaner from items you probably already have on hand in your kitchen.

Things You'll Need

• Vacuum cleaner
• Vinegar
• Microfiber mops

Instructions

1. Vacuum the floors to collect and dispose of loose buildup that quickly scratches the flooring if not removed.

2. Fill a cleaning bucket with 1/4 cup vinegar and 1 gallon warm water.

3. Dip a microfiber cleaning mop into the solution, and wring the mop out thoroughly. No water should drip from the mop.

4. Wipe the damp mop over the entire floor, wiping with the grain of the laminate floor panels. Repeat until all panels are cleaned to your liking.

5. Allow the floor to air dry, or wipe once more with a dry mop to collect excess moisture.
