How can I make my laminate floors shine without being slippery please?

Hi Linda,

Whatever you do, avoid waxes, polishes or sealers on your laminate. They may give you a temporary shine but they also build up over time and are really a bear to remove. In addition, many of them will not stick to laminate and you'll end up with a mess. Laminate has it's own finish and most of the time it's not shiny. If you think about it, natural wood floors don't shine without a sealer or polish which often must be repeated as it wears in high traffic areas. We have an engineered wood floor and it doesn't shine either but it does have a little be of a glow when it's clean. It's a more natural look. When we bought this flooring, my nephew was our "sales person". He told us to only use Bona cleaning products. Several years later, our floor still looks like new.

If the people before you used wax or polishes that might be the reason your floor looks dull. There is also a Bona product to help with that problem. When I was younger, I always wanted my kitchen floor to shine. I used products like Mop & Glo but eventually they would build up and the floor would have a yellow tinge. Removing that old product required ammonia and scraping it off. It was an all day project. I learned the hard way not to polish or wax floors and get used to just keeping it clean. Wishing you the best. -Linda
