The best way to clean your laminate floors without leaving a hazy film behind is simple, cheap and you can make it yourself!
Supplies:
- alcohol (grain alcohol like Everclear works best, but rubbing alcohol will work also)
- distilled water
- Dr. Bronners castile soap or Dawn dish soap (optional)
- Your favorite essential oils (optional)
Steps:
- Mix together the alcohol and water, half of each. If you want to add soap, add VERY little (1 drop of Dawn or 1 scant teaspoon of Dr. Bronner's). If you want to add essential oils for scent, just add a few drops.
- Pour into a spray bottle. Spray onto floor VERY lightly, working in small sections, and wipe immediately with a soft cloth. I like to have 2 cloths, wipe first with one, and then the other so the second one stays pretty dry.
The alcohol cleans, yet evaporates quickly, which helps to stop any filmy residue from building up. This is also why you use VERY little soap. Try it with no soap first. If your floors don't need the extra boost, you can leave the soap out. Most important is to make sure you spray, wipe and dry, very quickly. You don't want to leave laminate floor wet for any time.
