What are the maintenance methods for fishbone laminate flooring
Although fishbone laminate flooring is beautiful and unique, due to its complex splicing method, it requires more meticulous maintenance compared to ordinary flooring. Here are some maintenance methods:
Daily cleaning
Regular cleaning: Use a soft broom or electrostatic mop to clean the floor every day or the next day, promptly removing dust, hair, and small particles to prevent them from rubbing against the floor surface and scratching the paint surface.
Vacuum cleaning: Use a vacuum cleaner at least once a week, especially for floor crevices where dust tends to accumulate. Choosing a vacuum cleaner with a suitable suction head can better clean gaps and corners, avoiding long-term accumulation of dust that can affect the appearance of the floor.
Timely cleaning: Once stains are found on the floor, they should be cleaned immediately. For common stains such as water stains and juice stains, use a clean soft cloth dipped in an appropriate amount of water to gently wipe them. For stubborn stains, specialized floor cleaning agents can be used. Dilute according to the instructions, wipe with a soft cloth dipped in the solution, then wipe clean with water and dry to prevent residual cleaning agents.
Avoid damage
Scratch prevention: Install soft foot pads such as rubber or felt pads at the bottom of furniture to avoid direct scratching of the floor surface when moving furniture. When moving large or heavy furniture, it is recommended to use lifting tools and not drag them on the floor.
Avoid heavy object impact: Avoid placing heavy objects on the floor to prevent local compression and deformation of the floor. If a large heavy object needs to be placed, a large soft cushion plate can be placed under the object to disperse the pressure.
Be cautious when using sharp objects: Do not perform operations that may damage the floor, such as cutting or tapping. Avoid walking on the floor with shoes with metal nails or sharp objects on the sole.
Control environmental humidity
Humidity monitoring: Use a hygrometer to regularly monitor indoor humidity and maintain it within a suitable range of 40% -60%. This helps prevent the floor from expanding and deforming due to high humidity, or from drying and cracking due to low humidity.
Coping with humid weather: During the rainy or humid season, a dehumidifier can be used to reduce indoor humidity. If there is no dehumidifier, it is also possible to reduce the entry of humid outdoor air into the room by closing doors and windows.
Moisturizing during dry seasons: During dry seasons such as winter heating periods, humidifiers can be used to increase indoor humidity. At the same time, avoid exposing the floor to direct air conditioning or heating for a long time to prevent excessive moisture loss.
Regular maintenance
Wax maintenance: For solid wood fishbone flooring, waxing maintenance can be performed every 3-6 months. Choose high-quality floor wax suitable for flooring materials and follow the product instructions for operation. Waxing can form a protective film on the surface of the floor, enhancing its wear resistance and glossiness.
Professional nursing: Every 1-2 years, professional floor care personnel can be hired to conduct a comprehensive inspection and care of the floor. They can perform deep cleaning on the floor, repair minor damages, and perform corresponding maintenance according to the condition of the floor, extending the service life of the floor.
