Is laminate flooring stain resistant?


           So your next project is coming up and it has been decided for laminate flooring installation in the new space that you are designing. This is a great choice for many spaces especially if you have children and pets in the space often. Laminate flooring is very durable and is great for spaces that children and pets are frequently using. But there is always few a question when it comes to having a laminate floors because of the nature of the constructed of the planks. May often will wonder about how moisture will affect the floor, but there is also the concern about staining. Is a laminate flooring stain resistant?  The initial answer to this question is, yes. The laminate flooring is a stain resistant floor material. Now let’s explain why and how.
 
           Often when people hear the news that laminate floors are a stain resistant floors material they are surprised. Is the answer to good to be true or is it a myth? Well, the answer is in the details. Laminate flooring planks are constructed from several different layers of materials. During this process, the top layer of the material is coated with a layer of aluminum oxide. This top coating layer actually is what makes the flooring system stain resistant. The coating is tested against common stains like wine, sodas, and coffee. During the testing process, the coating resisted the stains of these common household products. These products were cleaned up within a few minutes of exposure using a lightly damp cloth. After the initial spill happened and the damp cloth is used to clean up the entirety of the liquid it is important to then follow up with a dry soft cloth. This cloth ensured that all the liquid has been removed from the area and then works to make sure that finish on the flooring has not been effected. When tested against tougher stains the flooring was able to perform just as well. The test included nail polish, permanent marker, and lipstick. When these materials were introduced to the laminate flooring they were easily cleaned up and is any residue was present after the dry cloth and dry cloth clean up an acetone mixture was used to completely remove the material and no stain was present. This final clean up step can be completed with the acetone and then the damp cloth followed up the dry cloth cleanup can be repeated. All these steps are super effective against even the toughest stains. 
 
           There is also something wonderful about this layer that is added to the topcoat. aluminum oxide also does protect the laminate flooring from scratches, dings, and dents. This layer is almost like the power of laminate flooring. It protects the finish of the laminate flooring planks along with giving it a shine that is totally worthy of calling beautiful.
 
            Laminate floors have a lot to offer to a space. When making the final decision to go with this type of flooring there are several factors into making that decision. The flooring has several factors that completely make the choice an easy one, but the stain resisting surface is one that can make the decision even easier. When you are thinking of having the floor replaced in a space and have children of pets laminate floors can be the perfect flooring solution for your busy space. When mishaps occur, which they will. The kids will spill something, the pets will have hair, and toys will be dropped by both. Laminate flooring will make cleaning up those spills easy, sweeping up that pet hair a task that is done with ease, and those dropped toys will not damage the surface. The messes will clean up as they have never happen and everyone is the space will feel more at ease when playing and living in the space. Carpet in a space like a living room will just not have some results. It will stain, it will collect the pet hair, and it can be damaged by toys. Laminate flooring is not only are stain resistant but they also offer a shine that will last year after year. There will also be no third party cleaning fees to scrub that carper biannually. Simply wipe messes away and enjoy what means the most in your life.
