<\/a> Floating timber floors look gorgeous \u2014 but they do need a bit of know-how to clean safely. Regular cleaning<\/a> with the right technique keeps them looking their best without risking warps, swelling, or a finish that’s gone dull before its time.<\/p>\n\n\n

TL;DR<\/strong> To clean floating timber floors safely, work through four steps: vacuum or sweep to lift dust and grit, spot-clean any stains with a damp microfibre cloth (a small amount of methylated spirits works well on greasy marks), damp-mop the whole floor with a well-wrung flat microfibre mop and a pH-neutral timber or laminate floor cleaner, then let it air dry. Yes, you can mop floating timber floors \u2014 but only with a barely-damp mop, never a soaking wet one. Keep steam mops, excess water, vinegar, and bleach well away from these floors at all times.<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n
