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!!
Orange Glo is commonly used for cleaning and polishing wood surfaces, such as hardwood floors and furniture. It can also be used to clean and shine other surfaces like laminate, vinyl, and tile. Additionally, Orange Glo can help remove dirt, grease, and grime while leaving a fresh citrus scent.
NO! Leaves a white dull film.
According to the manufacturer's website, you should remove the "Mop and Glo" buildup regularly. Here's their recommended solution:Use a solution of 1/4 cup all purpose cleaner (such as LYSOL® All Purpose Cleaner with out Bleach) and 1 cup household ammonia in ½ gallon of warm water. Wet the area with the solution and mop.
To remove Mop and Glo white residue film from floors, mix equal parts water and white vinegar, then mop the affected area. The acidity of the vinegar helps dissolve the residue. You can also try using a commercial floor cleaner designed to remove wax buildup. Remember to rinse the floor thoroughly with clean water after cleaning.
Mop & Glo is a brand of cleaning products designed for maintaining and shining hard floors, such as tile, laminate, and hardwood. It typically comes in a liquid form that can be mixed with water for mopping or used as a no-rinse cleaner to enhance the shine of floors. The product is known for leaving a protective coating that helps to resist dirt and stains while providing a glossy finish.
You can remove the film by mixing a solution of equal parts water and vinegar, mopping the floor with this solution, then rinsing with clean water. Another option is to use a commercial hardwood floor cleaner specifically designed to remove residue. Always test a small area first to ensure it doesn't damage the floor.
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.
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.
