Laminate flooring can scratch or gouge under the weight of heavy furniture. Use high-quality felt floor protectors on the base of all chairs, tables, and sofas. When rearranging, lift furniture rather than sliding it. Maintenance includes keeping grit and debris cleared to prevent surface scratching and using a ph-neutral cleaner specifically designed for laminate to protect the finish.

What is the recommended cleaning protocol for protecting laminate from heavy furniture?
Protect your laminate by using felt pads under all furniture legs and avoiding dragging heavy items across the floor. Regularly sweep or vacuum using a soft brush attachment and clean with a damp, microfiber mop to prevent scratches, grime buildup, and seam damage.
