Does anyone know how to shine up wood laminate flooring? I have only used vinegar and water to clean, but there is no shine on my floors at all. Thanks

Armstrong Industries makes a cleaner just for laminate flooring and a mop with a cloth cover that you can launder and reuse. I have a wood look glossy laminate. I use the cleaner from Armstrong and have been happy with the way it cleans. I was told to wipe up any water spills immediately.

Do you happen to know who the manufacturer is? They would be the best people to ask because each laminate is different.

You could also try a Swiffer wet jet with their laminate cleaner but I would definitely check with the manufacturer first, if possible, because if you have a warranty that warranty might be void from using something they don't recommend. Hope this helps.

How do you clean laminate wood floor?

RE: Cleaning Laminate Wood Floors

I clean my kitchen laminate floor with a microfiber cloth. You just wet the cloth with hot water, wring it out, and wash the floor by hand. It doesn't leave any streaks. Of course, if there is something stuck on, you have to use a little elbow grease. You can check them out at www.mystreakfreecloths.com (10/19/2009)

My husband just put a laminate wood floor in my kitchen last month and the manufacturer recommended Windex. (10/23/2009)

Try this homemade recipe. It works great on my laminate floors.
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 1/3 cup rubbing alcohol
  • 1/3 cup white vinegar
  • 3 drops liquid dish washing soap
  • 5-10 drops lemon essential oils (optional)

Combine all ingredients in a clean spray bottle. Spray sparingly on laminate floors and mop up. The rubbing alcohol helps speed up the drying process. (11/08/2009)

Request: Cleaning Laminate Wood Floors

Archived on 10/18/2009

We have just moved into our new home. The previous owners installed laminate hardwood flooring throughout the house. It is beautiful, but I am having difficulty with a white film and streaking. I use BONA, but I don't think this is working. Any ideas on what is best to clean these floors. Mind you, I have a huge house and most are hardwood floors.

The best product I've found is "Orange Glo Hardwood Cleaner and Polish". You want to vacuum your floors first and use a mop with a microfiber cleaning pad, make sure that you wet the pad.

Okay here's the trick: Pour 1/2 of the Orange Glo into another container and keep for future use, then add warm water to the remaining 1/2 in the original bottle almost filling it. Shake and squirt on your floors and mop. Does a great job. (08/10/2009)

RE: Cleaning Laminate Wood Floors

We had laminate floors installed in all rooms except bathroom in our new home and moved in a little over 2 years ago. The only thing I use is vinegar and water and have been happy with that. My 10 year old grandchild spent the summer with me and had a habit of going barefoot inside, leaving footprints from natural oils in the skin. The vinegar solution does a great job of removing that too. The owner of a local flooring place recommended this to us. I wouldn't use any of the products on the market for my floors. (08/12/2009)

My cousin uses Swiffer (or dollar store brand) for hardwood floors. She swears by it and there's no liquid to seep into the joints. (08/12/2009)
