How do I avoid humidity problems?
It's always better to prevent humidity and moisture problems than to have to cure them afterwards. A few tips:
- Despite the very good moisture resistant characteristics of Quick-Step Laminate floors, we do not recommend to install Quick-Step Laminate in damp rooms (saunas, laundry areas, etc.).
For bathrooms, Quick-Step introduced floors with ‘Hydroseal’ technology. ‘Hydroseal’ is an innovative, water-repellent coating that prevents water from entering the floor’s grooves, thus making it perfectly suitable for wet environments, including bathrooms.
Please note that some national regulations are not allowing floating installation in wet rooms. National regulations regarding floor applications must always be followed. - Avoid standing water and other liquids on the flooring surface at all times. For our water-resistant laminate, moisture left on the floor, and on or around the skirting boards, wall bases or profiles, is to be removed within 12/24 hours depending on the product reference.
- With the Quick-Step maintenance kit, you can easily clean the floor in a dry way or with minimum quantities of water. The Quick-Step cleaning kit contains a microfiber mop and a suitable cleaning product.
Loose sand and dust should be removed with a vacuum cleaner. Daily cleaning can be done with a dry microfiber mop. To remove very stubborn dirt or to clean the floor more intensively, you can moisten this microfiber tissue slightly by adding Quick-Step cleaning product to the cleaning water.
See our maintenance leaflet for more detailed instructions.
