Laminate Flooring
Laminate flooring gives a wood look at a budget price — with the right cleaning and care it lasts for years. This section covers installing, cleaning, and comparing laminate.
Install & compare: how to install laminate and laminate vs engineered wood.
Cleaning & care: best way to clean laminate, Swiffer WetJet on laminate, and sticky floors after mopping.
For choosing among all floor types, see our wood flooring guide.
What’s the best way to clean laminate floors? Dry dust-mop often and damp-mop with a well-wrung microfiber and a laminate-safe cleaner — never soak laminate.
Why is my laminate sticky after mopping? Usually too much water or cleaner residue; rinse with a barely-damp mop and switch to a laminate-specific cleaner.
