How to Polish Laminate Floors.

Polishing laminate floors is a great way to make them look shiny and smooth. To apply the polish, clean the floor, squeeze the polish onto the floor, then wipe it away with a damp polishing cloth. If you want a natural solution, try making your own laminate polish with olive oil, water, vinegar, and essential oils. Use this polish in the same way that you would use store-bought polish. Both of these methods are quick, easy, and effective!

1.Sweep the floor before you polish it:

Always sweep the floor to avoid scratching the laminate with any dirt or stones that may be on the floor. Use a broom to sweep the entire laminate floor until there is no trace of dust or dirt.If you don’t have a broom, use a brush pan and sweeper instead.if the floor is muddy or grimy, use a mop to clean it before you sweep. If you like, you can mop with your own  made of equal parts water, vinegar, and rubbing alcohol. Just make sure to wipe your floor clean and let it dry completely before applying the polish.

2.Dampen a polishing cloth with warm water:

Saturate your polishing cloth with warm water and then squeeze it out to remove all the drips. If you don’t have a polishing cloth, use a microfiber cloth instead, as this will achieve a similar result.If your mop has a polishing attachment, use this instead of a polishing cloth.Make sure the cloth is damp, but not sopping wet. Too much moisture can damage and warp your laminate floor.

3. Squirt a line of laminate polish over the length of your laminate:

Look for a floor polish that is specifically designed for laminate flooring. This ensures that the polish won’t damage the delicate surface. To apply the polish, simply squeeze it out of the bottle onto the floor in a wiggly line down the length of your laminate floor.If you haven’t used the laminate polish for a while, shake it before use.You can purchase laminate polish from a store that sells cleaning supplies.

4. Rub the polish over the entire laminate floor.

Use your damp polishing cloth to rub the polish into the floor. Start by wiping the polish back and forth against the grain of the laminate. Then, rub the polishing cloth back and forth with the grain of the laminate flooring. This helps to prevent streak marks.Don’t worry if the floor looks a little shiny or oily after you have applied the polish, as this is normal and will fade as it dries.

5. Leave the polish to dry for 24 hours.

If possible, avoid walking on the laminate. If this is not possible, simply leave it to dry for as long as possible. Avoid putting any heavy objects on the polish while it dries, as this can create an uneven looking surface.If possible, keep pets away from the polish for 24 hours while it dries.
