Benefits of Laminate and Vinyl
Laminate and vinyl floors offer outstanding value for homeowners. They're more resistant to moisture than hardwood, making them suitable for kitchens and bathrooms. They also stand up well to heavy foot traffic.
These floors are incredibly easy to maintain. Regular sweeping and occasional damp mopping will keep them looking great. For deeper cleaning, we recommend professional service using gentle cleaners like mild detergent mixed with water and white vinegar.
Cost efficiency is another major advantage. You can achieve the look of expensive hardwood at significantly lower prices. Installation is typically simpler and faster than traditional hardwood.
At Lakewood Cleaning Company, we charge $125 for cleaning 250 square feet of these floors, which includes thorough cleaning and buffing using our specialized equipment.
Advanced Floor Care Services
Removing Stains and Residues
Sticky residue and stubborn stains require targeted solutions. We use a specialized three-step process for tackling even the most challenging spots on laminate and vinyl floors. For food stains, we apply a gentle alkaline cleaner that breaks down proteins and oils without damaging floor finishes. Sticky residues from spills or adhesives respond well to our citrus-based solvents that lift the material without scrubbing. Pet stains need special care. We use enzyme-based cleaners that eliminate both the stain and odor by breaking down organic matter at the molecular level.
Floor Protection and Damage Prevention
Preventing damage is more cost-effective than repairing it. We focus on proactive measures to protect your laminate and vinyl floors from daily wear. High-traffic areas need special attention. We recommend applying protective coatings every 6-12 months in these zones to maintain gloss and prevent scratching. These polymer-based protectants create a microscopic barrier against scuffs and spills.
For homes with pets, we suggest trimming nails regularly and using area rugs in play zones. We can also advise on proper floor cleaning schedules based on your specific household traffic and needs. Our water and vinegar cleaning solution (1:10 ratio) provides gentle maintenance between professional services without risking moisture damage or residue buildup.
Family-Friendly Cleaning
We understand that your home is filled with little ones and furry friends. That's why we use kid-safe floor cleaning solutions that effectively clean without harsh chemicals. Our cleaning agents are non-toxic and leave no harmful residues that could affect crawling babies or pets who spend time on your floors.
For households with allergy sufferers, we pay special attention to removing dust and allergens that collect between planks. Our HEPA-filtered equipment traps these particles rather than redistributing them into the air. We also offer pet-friendly floor cleaning that addresses specific issues like accidents and paw prints without damaging your vinyl or laminate surfaces.
Addressing Specific Floor Concerns
Scuff marks and footprints are common problems on vinyl and laminate floors. We use specialized rubber-based cleaning tools that remove these marks without scratching your floors. For stubborn marks, we apply gentle cleaning solutions specifically formulated for your floor type:
- Vinyl planks: Non-abrasive cleaners that won't strip protective coatings
- Laminate: pH-balanced solutions that clean without excess moisture
High-traffic areas receive extra attention in our cleaning process. We identify these zones and use appropriate techniques to remove built-up grime. Water spots and streaking often result from improper cleaning. Our microfiber equipment and proper drying techniques eliminate these issues completely.
FAQs
Our customers often ask us about our laminate and vinyl floor cleaning services. Here are answers to the most common questions about how we care for these popular flooring types and what you can expect from our professional cleaning process.
What methods does Lakewood Cleaning Company use for cleaning laminate and vinyl floors?
We use a multi-step cleaning process tailored to your specific flooring. First, we sweep and vacuum to remove loose debris and dirt that could scratch surfaces during cleaning.
Next, we apply specialized pH-balanced cleaners designed specifically for laminate and vinyl. These formulas lift dirt without damaging protective coatings.
We use microfiber mops and pads that clean effectively without excessive moisture. For stubborn areas, we have spot-cleaning techniques that target tough stains without harming your floors.
How often should laminate and vinyl floors be professionally cleaned?
For most homes, we recommend professional cleaning every 12-18 months. This schedule helps maintain appearance and extends floor life without excessive intervention.
High-traffic areas like kitchens and entryways may benefit from more frequent cleanings, perhaps every 6-12 months. Homes with pets or children might also need more regular service.
We can help you develop a custom cleaning schedule based on your specific situation and floor condition during our initial assessment.
Can professional laminate and vinyl floor cleaning services remove deep stains and scratches?
We can remove most surface stains from laminate and vinyl flooring. Our specialized cleaners target common problems like food spills, pet accidents, and scuff marks.
Deep scratches and gouges generally cannot be removed through cleaning alone. However, we can often minimize their appearance and prevent further damage.
For severe damage, we can advise you on repair options or refer you to flooring specialists who can address structural issues beyond cleaning.
What precautions does Lakewood Cleaning Company take while cleaning floors to maintain their integrity?
We always use manufacturer-approved cleaning products. This ensures we won't damage protective coatings or void warranties on your flooring.
Our team controls moisture carefully. We never flood laminate or vinyl with water, which can cause warping, peeling, or delamination.
We use soft-bristle tools and microfiber to prevent scratching. Our technicians are trained to recognize different flooring types and adjust their techniques accordingly.

Remove small items and obstacles from floor areas. This includes rugs, toys, small furniture pieces, and floor plants.
Let us know about any problem areas beforehand. Pointing out stains or damaged sections helps us prepare the right solutions.
