How To Clean Laminate Floors | Clean With Confidence

[@neoasura]

Dude, thanks for this, as a Bachelor I had no idea how to clean my laminate floors, love the energy and humor man, subscribed.

[@CleanWithConfidence]

Happy to help, welcome to the channel!!🙂

[@tellis5068]

I just used your method to clean my laminate and it worked great. The prior owners of our house installed (I think) the cheapest laminate and it has always been a hassle to get them to look clean. They're always dull. Your solution left my floors looking a little shinier and smelling oh-so-fresh. It does not remove marring and scratches but I understand that is normal wear and tear. Thank you for sharing!

[@CleanWithConfidence]

Happy to help thanks for the testimony!!

[@tamialexander2487]

WOWZA! 🤗 I just used this on my 20+ year old laminate floors-high traffic, scratches and scoffs and I admit I’ve used various product on it including light wax for hardwood floors-but this did a beautiful job deep cleaning and restoring some luster and dried immediately-used a bucket, rag and good old fashion,down on the floor, hand washing with elbow grease💪. I used a thin utility knife to scrap off any stuck on ‘dirt’ spots and buildup-that worked great too, just keep blade at a slant and run it across spot. THANK YOU! This will be my ‘go to’ cleaner from now on! (Don’t know what I’ll do with all the cleaning and restoring product I just bought for annual deep spring cleaning!😂)

[@CleanWithConfidence]

This works sooo well!!! Thank you so, so, so much! ❤ I was using the swiffer with the wet mopping pads, but it left my laminate hazy and smudgy and looked terrible and dirty still. This made them look so clean. Especially in just the right light or sun patches that would show every imperfection!!

[@barbaramudge]

I know this one is old but it’s how I found you! I was wondering, could you use the Mrs. Meyers Multi Surface cleaner instead of the concentrate? And if so, any idea what the ratio would be?

[@CleanWithConfidence]

Hello Barbara! If you're referring to the Miss Meyers ready to us mix that comes in a squirt bottle... then no. Only use the concentrate to make your mixture. The ready to use mix is already diluted so if you dilute it even more it will kill all of it's cleaning ability. If you want a further explanation of how all that works I highly recommend you check out my video I did about understanding the pH scale. You will find that video on the channel under my playlist series entitled "Understanding Cleaning Chemicals"

[@CleanWithConfidence]

The name of the actual video is called "What is pH & why is it important?

[@barbaramudge]

Thank you! Thought maybe since it was already diluted I could just use more. I get it though. Was just hoping because I couldn’t get my fav scent in the concentrate and my husband apparently hates the smell of the one I do I have. I’ll check the video. Thanks again!!

[@lauraw3338]

Why don’t you like water and vinegar for laminate floors?

Because Vinegar isn't that great of a cleaner despite what people tell you. I'ts an acid and you need alkaline products to clean surfaces in the most effective way.

Please do some research first before using this guys cleaning solution. Rubbing alcohol can ruin some laminate floors. Also oil based cleaners are bad as well. I don't want your new floors to be destroyed. This guy thinks there is a drying agent in rubbing alcohol. I don't think he's very informed.
