Victoria....a gloss floor is the hardest to maintain and "stay" glossy. every day soiling acts like fine sandpaper and degrades the shine over time. The best thing you can do is to keep it as clean as possible. When I finish floors I always recommend the "satin" sheen as it will look better over the long haul. A frequent "screen and recoat" will be your best bet to maintain the high gloss.

I was so proud of my gleaming laminate floors, I literally couldn't stop smiling :) Even the hubby noticed how clean and shiny they were, and he never notices anything – so I took that as a huge compliment!
