What are these weird white marks on my laminate and how do I clean it?
+4
I recently started mopping my high gloss laminate floor with water and vinegar (alternating with that and Bona) and now these weird white spots are appearing all over the floor! I was sure it was water spots but nothing is taking them off... what do I do!! Any suggestions?
Use 3 parts windex and 3 parts water to clean the floor
Hi Kayla. Make a paste with olive oil and salt. Put it directly on the spots and leave for an hour. Then come back and wipe it all up with a very damp cloth. The salt will draw out any moisture and the olive oil will condition the floor.
Water spots or cleaner build-up.

Consult manufactures recommendations so you don't dull the shine and void any warranty or guarantee you might have.
Not an expert but I agree with Naomie. Be careful with what you use on Laminate. I was told never use some of the harsher cleaners on mine.
I wouldnt use Windex because it has Amonia in it and could ruin the finish. Id be very careful what you use on the floors. They sell special floor cleaners for laminate flooring. A damp mop and vacuuming should be all you need. No chemicals. Check with manufacturer or installer as to what to use.
