Stratex® flooring is designed for busy homes that need style, strength, and easy upkeep. With its stable core and durable surface, it stands up well to daily life. Even so, a little regular care will help it look its best for many years. This guide takes you through the simple steps and highlights the key benefits for cleaning Stratex® floors and keeping them in excellent condition.

Daily and Weekly Cleaning

Sweep or Vacuum Regularly

Dust and grit can act like fine sandpaper on any hard floor. Use a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner with a hard floor setting to remove loose dirt. This keeps the surface clear and reduces the risk of tiny scratches.

Use a Damp Mop, Not a Wet One

Stratex® floors are waterproof, but it is still best to avoid leaving standing water on the surface. A well wrung microfibre mop with warm water is all you usually need. Work in small sections and allow each area to dry naturally.

Choose a Suitable Cleaning Liquid

If you need a deeper clean, use the Woodpecker Cleaning Kit which is suitable for Stratex® surfaces as well as lacquered wood floors. It helps lift marks without leaving residue and is gentle enough for regular use. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive products which can dull the surface over time.

Tackling Spills and Stains

Wipe Spills Straight Away

Stratex® floors are built to take on family life, but it is still best to wipe up spills as soon as they happen. Use a clean cloth with warm water to remove liquids before they have time to settle.

Remove Sticky Marks Gently

Dried on marks from food or little accidents lift easily with a damp cloth. For stubborn patches, apply a small amount of suitable cleaning liquid and work gently until the surface is clear again.

Protecting Your Stratex® Floor

Use Mats in Busy Areas

Entrance mats collect moisture and dirt before it reaches the floor. Place mats by external doors and ensure they are cleaned regularly.

Avoid Dragging Furniture

Lift furniture when you need to move it, or place felt pads under chair and table legs. This prevents friction that could mark the surface.

Check Your Footwear

Stratex® floors benefit from dent-resistance thanks to its PU coating, however, it is still important to follow these small habits to prevent any accidents. High heels or shoes with sharp edges can cause pressure points. Encourage family and guests to remove these indoors to protect your floor.

Long Term Care

Stratex® flooring does not need oiling or refinishing. Instead, focus on keeping it dry, clean, and protected from day-to-day impacts. A consistent routine of cleaning Stratex® floors brings long term benefits and will keep the planks looking bright and even, while also supporting the long-term performance of the system.

Stratex® floors are a practical and stylish choice for modern homes. With simple habits and the right cleaning products, they stay looking fresh with very little effort. Follow these steps and enjoy the confidence of a floor that continues to perform in every room of your home.
