Yes, it is certainly possible to thoroughly clean laminate floors without leaving a film! Just follow our step-by-step guide below.
Supplies Needed To Clean Laminate Floors
You will need all of the following supplies to properly clean your laminate floors:
- Vacuum cleaner with a soft roller.
- Floor mop featuring microfiber pads.
- PU sealer solution.
- Cleaning solution.
- Cross linker for the PU sealer.
- Small container for mixing solutions.
- Paint brush with soft bristles.
- Microfiber paint roller.
Step 1. Vacuum The Floor
- Begin this process by simply cleaning the floor with a vacuum cleaner.
- A vacuum with a soft roller is best for these delicate laminate floors.
- Attach the soft roller and turn on the vacuum to start cleaning.
- Move backward from one end of the floor to the other, making sure to not step on cleaned areas.
- Completely remove any dust/debris from the flooring.
Step 2. Mop The Floor
- Add cleaning solution to the water tank on the spray mop.
- Dilute the solution with a small amount of water depending on the model you are using.
- Add two and half cups of rubbing alcohol to help the liquid dry quickly.
- Mop the floor by following the same patterns you previously vacuumed.
- Avoid stepping in any mopped areas.
- Press the spray handle to apply the cleaning solution periodically.
- Let the floor dry out for a few minutes before moving on to the next step.
Step 3. Apply PU Sealer
- Once the floor is both clean and dry, you can mix the cross linker with the PU sealer solution.
- Pour them into one container and mix the substances with a proper ratio.
- Apply the solution to the floor edges with a soft-bristle paint brush.
- Dip and brush the PU sealer over the edges, keeping only a thin layer of the PU solution.
- Pour out a certain amount of PU sealer and apply it with a paint roller.
- Coat the entire flooring surface.
- Let the floor dry for at least 2 hours.
- You can apply an additional layer of coating once it has dried completely.
Step 4. Always Take Care Of The Floor
- Taking care of the floor at all times is the last yet most important step.
- Avoid walking on these floors with hard shoes and heels, if possible.
- Clean the flooring regularly with water.
- Mop the flooring daily.
