Los Angeles Laminate Maintenance

Laminate flooring is a popular choice in LA homes, providing cost-effective, durable convenience that mimics the look and feel of natural woods, textures, and grains. But while it’s known for its low-maintenance needs, it still requires some regular care to keep it looking its best.

At Hernandez Wholesale Flooring, we’re experts in all things laminate maintenance. Los Angeles homeowners turn to our experts for professional cleanings, moisture protection, and preventative measures that guard against the coastal climate and everyday wear of busy California homes.

Learn how we protect your floors from scuffs, swelling, and scratches, and discover at-home laminate floor maintenance tips for in-between services.

Reliable Laminate Maintenance Services in Los Angeles

Our laminate maintenance services keep your floors looking brand-new while protecting them from LA’s intense sun and coastal humidity. Using low-moisture, specialized cleaning techniques, we remove dust, dirt, and scuffs without warping or dulling the surface, then apply protective treatments to prevent wear, fading, and future damage.

Looking for extra protection? We install felt pads on furniture legs and offer a wide selection of area rugs for high-traffic areas. With these added safeguards in place, you won’t have to worry about scratches, swelling, or moisture-related damage taking away from your home’s aesthetic.

Daily and Weekly Laminate Floor Care Tips

Laminate flooring requires routine care to prevent damage from dirt, scuffs, and spills. Cleaning your floors once a day with a soft-bristle broom or vacuum can effectively remove dirt and grime that may cause scratches on the surface. When you’re doing your weekly deep clean, use a slightly damp microfiber mop and a specialized laminate cleaner to lift dirt and remove smudges.

How to Prevent Damage in Busy LA Homes

Between morning hikes at Runyon Canyon, school drop-offs, and packed weekend activities, your laminate floor can take a beating in busy LA homes. Putting preventative measures in place helps protect your flooring from everyday wear and tear.

Place felt pads under chairs, tables, and sofas to prevent scratches, and use furniture sliders when moving heavier items. If you’re coming home from catching a wave at Surfrider Beach, make sure to quickly wipe up any drips or splashes to prevent moisture from seeping into the seams. Placing doormats at entrances catches dirt and liquids before they reach your flooring, preventing dents, scratches, and swelling as your household comes and goes.

Surface Scratch & Scuff Repair Options

You can use a few easy at-home tools to buff out scratches and scuffs on your laminate flooring. Laminate repair kits, available at your local hardware store, often include wax sticks or putty that can be melted into scratches and nicks. Specialized furniture or floor markers can also be used to disguise light scuffs by matching your laminate’s finish.

For more serious damage or scuffs that won’t budge, contact our team for professional laminate floor care. We use professional-grade fillers to smooth scratches and can replace individual planks to repair sections of your floor without the need for complete replacement.

Moisture Protection and Water Damage Prevention

High summer humidity levels, backyard pools, and weekend beach trips make laminate floors especially prone to moisture and water damage in LA. During installation, our flooring pros can install a waterproof underlayment to prevent moisture from warping the planks. We can also apply silicone sealant along the edges of kitchen and bathroom floors to prevent water from seeping into the seams and corners.

After installation, try to keep humidity levels between 30% and 50% to prevent warping and separation while keeping your home comfortable on hot summer days. Laying down absorbent mats at entrances, under pet bowls, and near sinks also helps catch any spills or splashes to prevent water damage on laminate flooring.
