Laminate flooring used in the motorhome provides style, durability and ease of
maintenance. This high-pressure laminated flooring is designed to be incorporated
as a floating floor.
Laminate flooring is constructed of three main material components. The
surface, similar to many countertops, contains aluminum oxide particles to form
an extremely hard, durable outer layer. The carrier, or core layer, is constructed
from high density fiberboard. A tongue and groove design provides a tighter bond.
The backer or bottom layer is also made of laminate for strength.
Cleaning and Maintenance:
For everyday cleaning, vacuum the floor to remove dirt and debris. It is
recommended to occasionallly mop the floor using a cotton string mop and a
minimal amount of water. Use a mixture of soap-free household cleaner
(either vinegar or ammonia work well) and water for a more thorough cleaning.
• Wipe away stains with a damp cloth.
• Stains caused by inks or paints may require a cloth moistened with
acetone (nail polish remover).
• Stains caused by gum or tar should be allowed to harden completely,
then gently scraped away.
• Felt protectors on the bottom of furniture and floor mats can preserve
the beauty and appearance of the flooring.
CAUTION: Abrasive cleaners and scouring pads can scratch
and damage the flooring. Never wax, sand or apply lacquer
to laminate flooring.
