I tried cleaning it with some windex and my floors look amazing and shiny.
Very occasionally i ll add a little vinegar to my mop water.
Laminate floors are popular for indoor spaces that see a lot of heavy duty foot traffic such as kitchens bathrooms entryways and laundry rooms.
There are many ways recommended for using windex most especially on sealed hardwoods and not all of these methods are safe for the lifespan of wood floors.
Heavy furniture should be lifted carefully off of the floor and placed back on the floor once in their new position.
Felt pads furniture straps and additional assistance are all good ideas.
