High Quality Laminate Flooring in Geneva, IL for the Best Value

When properly cared for, laminate is a low maintenance, long lasting flooring that doesn't take too much to clean. You can actually use a vacuum to get dry dirt off. While it may seem natural to mop your Geneva flooring, you'll actually want to use very little water when cleaning, and wipe it off quickly with a dry cloth. The same goes for any wet or muddy feet marks, just rub it off immediately with a dry cloth or paper towel. Also never use abrasive cleaners, soap based detergents, or other such chemical compounds when cleaning. Be sure to never use scouring panels or steel wool with your Geneva laminate flooring, as that can scratch or damage it. Make sure never to polish, or wax the laminate. Finally, never use steam cleaning or anything that carpet cleaning would use, as that could potentially ruin the surface.

To achieve the look of hardwood without any actual lumber involved in the process, several materials are bonded together in a high pressure chamber. The first layer is a high density floorboard, or HDF, that guards against moisture damage. Next comes a high resolution image made to resemble natural hardwood. Yes, the main reason laminate resembles lumber is due to a picture of wood. Finally, a resin-coated cellulose is then added to both protect the laminate flooring in Geneva, IL, and to allow the image of the woodlike features to show.
