Question:

How can i get shiny floors?

I have 3 rooms with shinny floors. I use swifter wet every day and i mop using fuller floor shine once a week. My floors don't shine like it should. What can i use to get my floors to look shinny.

Answer:

I had a vinyl floor that had a dull film built up from wax. First I warn you, use a mask and open doors and windows if you do what I did. I mixed double the recommended sudsy ammonia to water and mopped. It dissolved the build up and I was left with a clean but not shiny floor. Next I used Armstrong floor cleaner and I was delighted with the shine. It looked like new. I will never use another floor cleaner because it does not build up.
Linoleum should be stripped with a good floor stripper then apply a good wax. Go to a floor dealer and purchase these products as recommended. You shouldn't apply floor shine frequently-it just builds up . You are probably going to need a lot of elbow grease to remove it.A reputable dealer will give you the correct products and instructions. After all this is done, a cleaner like All purpose Lysol works rather well in cleaning and retaining the shine.
If your floors are wooden then to get them really shiny use bee's wax. It is a bit smelly, time consuming and hard work but worth it! If your floors are tiled then use Astonish no rinse wood floor cleaner. It is better than anything else I have found. If none of these work you could try using window cleaner ive never tried it myself but I reckon it would work!
