Installation and maintenance

Do you expect an easy instalation and maintenance from your new floor? Here is the answer to your need.

One of the many advantages with floors from Pergo is that they are easy to keep clean and beautiful. To make the cleaning even easier and better Pergo also offers cleaning products specially developed for laminate floors. By following these simple cleaning tips you will enjoy your PERGO® floors for many years to come.

Ordinary cleaning

Vacuum (without the beater bar) or sweep the floor using the Pergo mop to remove dirt and dust. Occasionally wipe with a damp Pergo cloth.

Spot cleaning:

Spray Cleaner directly on the stains/spillages.
Let Spray Cleaner dissolve stains for a few minutes.
Clean the floor with a damp mop (using only water).

Your PERGO® floor should not be waxed or polished. Never scrub with steel wool or any other abrasive material as this may effect the appearance or texture. Some textures sometimes require special cleaning. If your PERGO floor has any of the following textures please follow these instructions for best result.

Matt textures

In general, dirt sticks harder to floors with matt textures. We therefore recommend that you clean the floor more regularly and use Spray Cleaner on the entire floor area to dissolve dirt stuck to the surface. A greasy-looking surface can occur if you have cleaned the floor in the wrong way by for example using too much detergent or the wrong detergent, such as soap. To remove this film spray ample Spray Cleaner over the whole floor and wait a few minutes for the detergent to dissolve the dirt/grease. Damp-mop the floor and dry-mop afterwards. Repeat this procedure until the dirt or greasy film is removed.

Polished texture

Dried watermarks are often more visible on polished textures. Therefore, for best results, always wipe with a dry mop after damp cleaning.

Floors with bevelled edges

Floors with bevelled edges are more sensitive to water since the bevel acts as a pocket where water can collect. Never wet-clean the floor. Cleaning with a slightly damp mop (a very well wrung mop) is possible occasionally but make sure no water has collected in the bevel. Always dry-mop the floor immediately after cleaning.
