Cleaning your laminate baseboards and quarter rounds is
generally accomplished with the same cleaning methods used on your laminate
floor. The products you use will depend upon whether the baseboard is
made of wood and what finish is on them.
Wood oils can be used on unpainted wood, but only after some preparation
and general cleaning is done.
The first thing to do is to know your material and follow
manufacturers directions. If you are unsure of the type of material or
the manufacturer, you could contact a professional floor company for advice.
Once you know what you’re working with, some general steps
for safely cleaning the baseboards on your laminate floor include:
- Thoroughly
dust your floor and baseboards with a microfiber dust mop
- Use
a wash cloth dampened with water to wipe down the baseboards or quarter
rounds
- Follow
manufacturer’s labels for cleaning laminate flooring quarter rounds
- Use
wood oil only on real wood products. Avoid oil on laminate as a
slippery, waxy buildup will occur
- Avoid
using any type of bleach product or product with bleach in it
- Avoid
using soap and water or soapy detergents
- Apply
selected cleaning solution directly to the cloth rather than spraying on
the baseboard
- Diluted
white vinegar with water is a very common and effective cleaning solution
for laminate
flooring
- Always
spot test an inconspicuous area first to ensure your cleaning solutions
will not fade the finish or color of your laminate flooring.
