Laminate Floors

(Optional)
3 •132
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 pro-
vides 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.
NOTE: Any unusual or unique problems concerning the
laminate flooring can be addressed by contacting Wilsonart at
