Focus Flooring Laminate is extremely hygienic and very easy to look after
For everyday cleaning purposes, it is sufficient to vacuum with brushes or sweep the floor with a soft broom
Footmarks and tough dirt can be readily cleaned off with a damp cloth. However, only use a well wrung out-almost dry cloth. Under no circumstances should the floor be cleaned with a soaking wet cloth or mop.
Any Windowlean and water solution, in a spray bottle may be used for cleaning purposes. However, on no account should abrasive cleaning agents such as waxes, oils or polishes be applied to the laminate flooring.
More serious contamination and stubborn stains can be easily removed with acetone or other alcohol based solvent, however it is VERY important that this is only used spot wise.
To prevent damage by dirt, we suggest that you place doormats at entrance doors. To prevent scratching you should fit felt gliders to the feet of furniture. Rolling furniture should be fitted with rubber chair casters.
Avoid dragging heavy furniture across floors as this may cause scratch marks.

The formation gaps in the flooring are to be expected in the event of failure to maintain the recommended humidity.
