Home Hack: Quick secret to cleaning a wooden floor
Laminates like this Pergo Oak Living Expressions flooring are ideal for running plank styles into the kitchen.
Cleaning a wooden floor does not require any form of really wet wash but a barely damp clean.
Never leave water pooling on any solid wood or engineered wood flooring.
Laminate is more forgiving, but only when it's rated as water-resistant.
Always follow your supplier's recommendations.
