MN Mom on Dec 20, 2015Hi Yvonne Sometimes laminate floors (both vinyl and wood laminate) get a soap build-up which causes the dull, milky appearance. Start with a good cleaning using floor vacuum followed by a dust mop. I don't care for brooms because they always leave something behind. You can give the floors a good scrub with warm water and white vinegar to remove any soap reside from past washings. Finish up after the floors air dry with another clean dust free buffing. I like a cloth like a cotton diaper or lint free cleaning rag. If you choose to purchase a product, I suggest Bona floor cleaner which is available at many home stores. Good luck!Helpful Reply

Wrenzo Thompson on Dec 20, 2015The first question that should be asked is..."What has caused the shine to go away?" The shine usually diminishes after a wax, rejuvenation or low grade acrylic/polymer has been used. These products leave a layer of film on a floor that builds after each consecutive use. Shining for a moment and then dulling quite quickly. If that is the cause, Basic Coatings makes a product designed to remove most buildup with the exception of wax. The name of the product is called Dissolver. It will have to be followed by a product called Squeaky. After the film has been removed and cleaned, then a coating of commercial high solids polyurethane can be applied. The shine will then last for years with proper cleaning.Helpful Reply
