Laminate Wood Floors Always Look Dirty

My hard wood floors always looked dirty and it drove me nuts.

Laminate wood floors always look dirty.

It always looked dirty and smeared up just from walking on it and it was driving me insane i couldn t stand all this mopping steam cleaning and then foot prints and smears galore and it s like a magnet for dog hair i sweep a million times a day. Water will ruin them fast. This happens with bare feet too. Hard surface floors such as wood tile and laminate can show water spots foot prints and other smudges.

Using the right cleaner will remove footprints and the like on your flooring. My laminate wood floors are looking very grimy. Well it wasn t long i see the floor streaking dulling and a nasty haze. Hello there we have had laminate floors for a few years now and i only use vinegar and water.

I don t use a cleaner either but i do use a high quality microfiber floor pad. I couldn t get it up. We have very dark almost black hardwood floors throughout the first level of our house. If i am wearing a clean sock you can see the imprint of it right away.

One way or the other you need to remove the dirt and oils from the surface. I ve been using about 3tbs. Here s what works for me. Sticky or dirty sections.

I think it has something to do with the way they finish them. No matter what i did or what i cleaned them with. For most areas of laminate flooring in your home a dry or dust mop may be all that is needed for regular cleaning. To clean laminate wood floors naturally especially when they are really dirty try using baking soda.

I just swept and mopped them yesterday. Then my mil told me to get rejuevenate at home depot it made a huge difference. Hi i have laminate floors too and it s actually a bit of a trick to get them looking clean. Murphy oil to a pint of water in my sprayer mop but everytime i do this they look grimy and dingy about 20 mins.

On occasion when it was called for a drop or two of dish soap dawn the key to keeping the floors a long time is to minimize the liquid on it. The minute we are done cleaning it it is dirty again. Laminate floors never need waxing or polishing. My dark hardwoor flooring always looks dirty.

The problem with laminate floors is that too much water seeps into the cracks between the planks and can cause swelling and damage that is irreversible. If your floor appears dull always take the time to clean it properly to remove residues that exist currently. Waxes and polishes leave a smeared look on the floors due to the residue that they leave behind. A little water goes a long way on a laminate floor.

Best of luck to you.
