. Improper cleaning of the floor results in unsightly streaks on the panels and the parquet becomes dull over time. The most common reason for stains on the floor is too much detergent. Don’t medicine into a bucket of too much liquid. Instead of better results, you will have ugly stains. One cap of floor liquid is usually enough for one bucket. Also remember to always use a clean mop. Otherwise, it will only spread dirt throughout the floor.
It happens that even when properly installed, stains may occur. They are most visible in bright sunlight and look ugly. In such a situation, home remedies come to the rescue. You certainly have these two liquids at home, and when combined together they will create the best polisher for floor panels. We’re talking about white vinegar and glycerin. Add 3 tablespoons of vinegar and the same amount of glycerin to a bucket with warm water and a small amount of floor cleaner. Clean the floor thoroughly and leave it to dry completely. There won’t be a single streak on the panels, and the parquet will shine like new.
Vinegar, thanks to its acidic formula, evaporates from floors, preventing it from staining. Even a small amount added to water makes the floor perfectly clean. Vinegar also has a disinfecting and antibacterial effect. Removes larger dirt and dissolves some stains. Glycerin is a natural polishing agent. It leaves the floor shiny and smooth, and is safe for the panels and household members.
How to wash floor panels?
In order to wash floor panels effectively and enjoy their pristine shine without unsightly stains, it is crucial to follow a few simple rules. First of all, before you start wet mopping, thoroughly vacuum or sweep the floor, removing any loose dirt, dust and sand that could scratch the surface or create streaks during mopping. The washing tool is also a key element. Choose a microfiber mop that has excellent absorbing properties and at the same time does not leave excess water on the floor. Before each wipe of the panel, wring the mop very carefully so that it is only slightly damp, not wet. Excess water is the biggest enemy of panels because it can cause them to swell and is also the main cause of streaks and stains. Wash the panels by moving the mop along their layout, using overlapping movements to ensure even cleaning. Rinse the mop regularly in clean water (it’s a good idea to have two buckets: one with the cleaning solution, the other with clean rinsing water) and wring it thoroughly again. After washing the floor, if you notice any damp spots, wipe them with a dry, clean microfiber cloth so that the floorboards dry quickly and do not leave any streaks.
