Question:

Dingy Laminate Floors....?

Does anyone know of a product to restore dingy laminate flooring in my kitchen?

Answer:

I bought a product designed for laminate flooring in Home Depot called Bruce's dura luster no wax floor cleaner... there is a number of cleaners out now but not in all stores... there is also one called True.. they do clean up dirt, etc.. but do not shine it... I use a soft cloth and go over it with the cleaner and buff it...
The newer laminate flooring doesn't hold up like it used to unless you pay $$$ for it. If you don't want to replace it then the best thing is to use a good commercial floor finisher which you can purchase at any store that sells industrial cleaning equipment. Find one in the yellow pages and they will tell you what you need. The regular store bought finishes don't hold up for long.
If the finish isn't damaged, I would recommend 1C white vinegar to one gallon of water. After mopping, towel dry/buff with a soft cloth (an old worn bathtowel works best). If that doesn't work, your local hardware store should have hardwood/laminate floor cleaner which can be sprayed on and buffed dry. It will take a little elbow grease, however, should restore the shine.
