Today I am sharing with you the solution and products I have found to clean my laminate floors. My floors are very shiny and for the first year of having them I hated them because I thought they could not be kept clean with this solution and tools I have found a way to get them clean and keep them clean and I knew I needed to share.

After using vinegar time after time on my laminate floors, it left a dull, hazy finish which was impossible to remove. In my experience plain warm water is the only thing to use on laminate floors. I have found that even soap can start to leave a dull residue after repeated use.

I own a cleaning company and wont use vinegar on laminate floors because of what you stated its just a matter of time. Easy DIY solution. Half a cup of 70% rubbing alcohol mixed with 1 cap of Mrs. Meyers concentrate multi surface cleaning solution with water. Damp microfiber pad and mop away. I am glad you posted this because hopefully people won't ruin there floors like the lady in the video is teaching them to do.

All these mixtures and all is crazy. I use the easiest stuff from Sam's added to hot water in a bucket. It has a neutral ph. Ocedar spin mop and done. Ive found not to use on waxed floors. Hardwood, laminate, marble, granite, ceramic and linoleum it works great. No big guessing. No streaks like plain water can leave. Mine even removes the film that bona leaves behind to bring the shine back.

This is awesome! After months of trying everything on the market for my shiny laminate floors,it is this simple recipe that actually works, and doesn’t leave a residue. In the past, everything I tried left some kind of film, and though the floor looked clean, the minute anyone walked on it there were footprints galore, and our shoes actually felt tacky while walking across it. This recipe removed all that build up, cleaned the floor, no more footprints or sticky shoes. Thank you so much for posting! And I found a half gallon jug of the cleaning vinegar at the Dollar Tree, and a microfiber cloth big enough to make 4 pads for my mop. Only $2 to solve my problem! :)

I have laminate flooring which is several years old and well worn. I tried this cleaning tip. My floors did not shine much more due to their age and condition but for the first time in years they are clean and don't have a film on them. Foot and kitty prints don't show. I hired a cleaning service after I had surgery and through recovery. When I was able to do more every time the cleaner left my floor didn't feel clean and I would mop it again with products for laminate flooring or vinegar water. I no longer use the cleaning service and am doing the floor myself. After using this DIY cleaner mix I am thrilled with my floors. No film. Thank you Emily.

I was all ready to go out and buy the Rubbermaid mop, but first decided to try the Swiffer hack. Other youtube videos advised buying special cleaning products and rubbing alcohol. I figured that the cost of the mop and cleaning products would cost me $50.00. Since I only need to clean the laminate flooring once a month (no kids, pets, little use) or two, I decided to try the Swiffer hack. I had everything in the house and didn't need to go out and spend any money at all. And it worked.............really worked. I used Olive Oil essential oil. Thanks for helping me.

We had plans to change it up. But since we followed your steps with the squirt bottle and microfiber mop. it was awesome! Actually, our floors looked a lot better!

Hi I've just had my shiny floor and it's supposed to be scratched proof however my Grandson has had his car's on and it's scratched, anyway I'm wondering is it ok to use flash floor wipes only it seems to leave streaks and it's bad enough when my grandchildren and leave foot prints everywhere they do take there shoes off but can't stop them playing, I'm thinking about going back to carpet it seems to be much easier can you suggest anything thank you.

So we have laminate and I put a polish on them to bring back a shine. Problem is if I mop, the polish comes off. Any suggestions? Thanks

Thank you for this video! Just moved to a new house with shiny, laminate floors and faced the same predicament as you! Beautiful floors but frustrating to maintain if you do not know what you are doing. So glad I found your video :) Thank you!

I have 2 dogs that stay indoors. Everytime I take them out, especially after it rains, I have tracks (there's and mine) showing in both the LR and the BR. I will definitely try this! Thank you so much.

I just had shiny laminate installed. This ratio of cleaning solution is better than my steam mop but sadly not streak free and I too have noticed it kind of dulls the floor. I'm using a protective gloss restorer after the floor is mopped and dry but I was hoping for a one step solution to maintaining my floors.

Thanks for the tip! I also read adding rubbing alcohol to the solution will dry the floors faster and is a disinfectant as well. One question I had is are the floors squeaky when you walk on them? Does the dawn soap leave a film over time? Several other sites said not to use any soap for that reason..

One mix uses rubbing alcohol instead of dish soap because the alcohol evaporates the water which is a good thing because moisture is bad for the laminate floors.

As a professional cleaner . Stay away from vinegar. First off for lvp you don’t use anything other then a microfiber mop and a neutral cleaner. Anything else will chip away at the natural coating.
