I used hot water on a damp mop, worked great
Well, After my wife decide to put Mop and Glo on our new laminate floors we found ourselves in a similar position that you are probably in. I have found that white vinegar and water does the trick just nicely. If you have the residue in the joints as well a quick wipe with the vinegar water and a toothbrush takes the cake!! As for the smell.... I hope you like vinegar!!
NO! Leaves a white dull film.
Mix equal parts of white vinegar and water, and use a microfiber cloth to wipe and scrub the affected areas. The vinegar will help to break down the build-up of the Mop & Glo product without damaging your laminate floors. Remember to rinse the floor with clean water afterwards to remove any remaining residue.
You need to make sure that you rinse the floor before being finished with it. A small amount of water will get rid of the film.
Once Murphy's Oil soap is on floors, it is difficult to remove. Various manufacturers recommend vinegar and water or alcohol.
The glo products are similar to putting wax on your floor, except that they are also expected to clean the floor. Periodically, you'll need to remove the old glo product buildup by using an ammonia solution.
Orange Glo is commonly used to clean household items. Orange Glo can be used to clean kitchen surfaces and hardwood surfaces such as floors and tables.
If you use cleaners like Mop & Glo or Orange Glo on your floors than yes you will get a cloudy white film build up. The reason being is that these products have oils in them, that when used over and over again will build up and take away the shine.AnswerYes it can be too much of a build-up or simply the type of product you are using. Go a hardwood dealership and ask them what you can do about this as there are special products for cleaning hardwood floors.
Mop and Glo is not a good product to use on engineered wood flooring. This because Mop and Glo contains a wax, which can ruin the finish that is already on the floors.
yes I would NOT use that on a laminate floor. You can buy special cleaners for laminate floors, or make your own. Also, Swiffer Wet Jet has cleaner that is safe for laminate floors, but you have to buy the mop that goes with it that takes batteries. Try to find a cheaper applicator, such as a terry cloth covered mop that you can find in a Dollar General Store, and I use distilled water, white vinegar, and alcohol in distilled water. 2/3 water and equal parts of vinegar and alcohol. Do not get the floor too wet. My best advice is to use a special cleaner. I think Wal-mart has a gallon of it for a reasonable price, close to the hardware department. Good Luck. The basic cleaning fact with laminate is...not a lot of liquid and something that doesn't leave a film. What's in the expensive laminate cleaner bottles? Window cleaner! Windex or store brand, it's water, ammonia and alcohol....Spray and go over with a slightly (very slightly) damp sponge mop.
Vinegar and water!!
