From home to commercial spaces, laminates have become a perfect choice when it comes to enhancing the beauty of the interior. The aesthetic appearance, availability in multiple designs & patterns, versatile use, and affordability of laminates have increased their demand in the market. When buying from reputed laminate manufacturers, one can rest assured of the quality and durability also. However, as a user, we also need to take care of laminates to ensure that they last a long time. In this blog, we are sharing a few maintenance tips that one can use to enhance the longevity of laminates.
Clean laminates regularly
One of the most common tips that you will hear from everyone is to regularly clean your laminate surface. But here is a thing when we talk about regular cleaning: what to use and what not to use when cleaning laminates. Laminates are more likely to get stain marks or grime buildup if not cleaned properly. So, use soft and damp clothes to wipe the dirt or grime off the surface of the laminates. If there are any stubborn stain marks, use mild detergent for cleaning, but do not use hard scrubbers or brushes for removing stain marks. Using abrasive scrubbers will scratch and damage the laminate surface. Also, it is advised not to use any chemicals to clean laminates.
Keep them away from water
Laminate manufacturers these days offer water-resistant laminates; however, over time, their resistivity may decrease. That is why we advise you not to leave the laminate surface wet for long. It is also recommended to use water-repellent or moisture-resistant sealants every few days to maintain the resistivity, especially on laminates that are used in the kitchen and bathroom, as water or moisture resistivity is a must for those spaces.
Inspect the laminate surface regularly
If you do not wish to replace your favourite laminate sheet soon, start inspecting them regularly for any signs of damage. There can be several reasons for the damage, be it due to water or moisture buildup, scratch from any sharp object, or peeling of edges. The earlier you notice these damages, the sooner you will be able to get them fixed instead of replacing the laminate. You can seek professional help to restore the laminate surface, as they have multiple solutions available. You can also check with the laminate manufacturers if they offer laminate maintenance services.
Using all these maintenance tips will help you keep the laminates looking new for several years. Now, you need not worry about replacing them early until and unless you wish to try new designs and patterns.
