Advice

  • If the floor is very dull you will have to repeat this procedure several times before the floor shines again.
  • Never use general cleaning products (used to clean vinyl and ceramic floors) on a laminate floor. If the floor is not too dirty, you will only need to sweep or vacuum and use a mop only with warm water.
  • If there are any stains on the floor, use a damp rag to remove them. If the stains are oily, use a rag dipped in vinegar.

Warnings

  • Never leave a laminate floor wet. Water may enter causing the floor to swell. Always wring the mop well.
  • If you need to use a polishing product, make sure you buy one that is suitable for laminate, do not use there was for tile, vinyl or flooring suitable for it.
