Do not install laminate floors over carpet.
Do not install laminate floors in high moisture areas.
Do not walk on the laminate floor with stilettos heels or athletic spikes or metal cleats.
Do not seal, lacquer, finish or sand your laminate floor.
Do not use a wax seal, polish or abrasive cleaner on your laminate floor.
Do choose the right underlayment to protect against any moisture coming through the subfloor.
Do make sure before you install your laminate floor that the subfloor is level, clean and dry.
Do use a dry mop or vacuum to clean your laminate floor.
Do lift heavy furniture instead of dragging or pulling it to avoid scratching the floor.
