Learning how to make WPC floors look new is a must for every floor user. Although laminate wood-plastic flooring is known for being low maintenance and requiring less maintenance than planks, it is far from "carefree". There are also several precautions to be aware of when keeping your WPC flooring in good condition.

Here are some tips to help you effectively maintain your WPC floors and keep your WPC floors looking great every day.

Choosing the right cleaning products can reduce your maintenance costs to a certain extent and save your cleaning workload. The surface of the composite wood plastic floor looks very solid. However, it still has a fair amount of microscopic pores and requires the use of an oxygen-based cleaner that penetrates deep into the interior material and cleans the surface of the WPC laminate floor. When purchasing cleaners, read the instructions carefully. Don't buy plank cleaning products with chemical "chlorine bleach" that can penetrate your WPC outdoor deck and cause corrosion. As a result, it discolors the laminate floor, destroys the surface and worsens the mold/mildew problem.

So please use a gentler washing method for your plastic wood floors.

In general, a milder cleaning method is ideal for laminate floors, as pressure washing can cause damage if done incorrectly. If you must use a pressure washer, it is recommended to use the lowest pressure household pressure washer and no more than 25 cm from the floor. Since WPC flooring is not as hard as solid wood, it can "scratch" more easily than wood, resulting in mold stains in openings that will be very difficult to remove and clean. So in most cases a garden water hose will suffice for cleaning.

If you want to prevent mold from long-term use of outdoor wood-plastic floors, you should pay attention to regular cleaning of the floor surface, and the most important thing is to clean the gaps. Dirt and debris can build up over time, and the moisture in the air creates an ideal growth environment for mold and mildew. To prevent mold and mildew from damaging the floor and prolong the life of the wood-plastic floor, it is recommended to regularly clean the space between the floors, keep the floor dry, and allow the air to circulate between the floors.

You can even prepare some soap, vinegar, and water to clean your homemade floors. Here are some simple steps for cleaning and restoring laminate floors.

Step 1: Remove everything from the deck to ensure a smooth cleaning process.

Step 2: Sweep away dirt and debris and make sure there are no leaves on the floor before spraying with water.

Step 3: Spray the floor with warm water and use a hose to remove as much surface mold as possible.

Step 4: Gently scrub with soapy water with a soft bristle brush. For demolding, it is recommended to pour vinegar and water directly on the mold.

Step 5: After scrubbing and cleaning the floor with a brush, the plastic wood floor should be rinsed thoroughly. This step is very important and is the last step that cannot be skipped. Thorough rinsing of WPC floors can prevent a thin coating on the surface of the wood-plastic material.

Have you learned it? With a little maintenance and cleaning, it's easy to update your laminate floors and keep your wood-plastic floors looking good and durable.
