DIY Floor Cleaning

Welcome back to Tony’s Tips, your go-to source for all things cleaning brought to you by A2B Cleaning Services! Today, we're tackling the task of laminate floor maintenance with some easy-peasy DIY hacks that'll leave your floors sparkling like new.


Gentle yet Effective Cleaning Solutions

When it comes to laminate floors, gentle is the name of the game. Mix up a solution using equal parts water and vinegar. Vinegar’s acidity helps to cut through grease and grime without leaving behind any residue. You can easily find both of these kitchen staples at your local Tesco or Sainsbury's.


Say Goodbye to Stubborn Stains

Uh-oh, tough stains got you down? Fear not! Grab some baking soda and sprinkle it generously over the affected area. Then, whip up a solution with water and lemon juice in a spray bottle. Spray it over the baking soda and let it sit for a few minutes. After that, grab a soft-bristled brush and gently scrub away. Baking soda acts as a mild abrasive while lemon juice works its magic to lift those stubborn stains. You can pick up baking soda and lemons during your next trip to Asda or Tesco.


Buff Away Dullness with Olive Oil

Has your laminate floor lost its shine? No worries! Create a mixture with a few drops of olive oil and warm water in a spray bottle. Lightly mist it onto your floor and then buff with a microfiber cloth. The olive oil acts as a natural polish, leaving your floors gleaming like new. Grab some olive oil from your local Asda or Tesco and get ready to shine on!


DIY Laminate Floor Refresher

Need a quick pick-me-up for your laminate floors? Mix together 1/4 cup of white vinegar, a few drops of your favorite essential oil (like lemon or lavender), and water in a spray bottle. Give your floors a spritz and wipe them down for a fresh, clean scent. You can find essential oils in the household aisle of Tesco or Sainsbury's.


Preventative Measures

Don’t forget to take some preventative measures to keep your floors looking fabulous! Place doormats at entryways to trap dirt and prevent it from being tracked onto your laminate floors. Additionally, use furniture pads or felt pads under heavy furniture to prevent scratches and scuffs.


With these easy DIY hacks, you'll have your laminate floors looking spick and span in no time! But if DIY isn’t your thing or you need a deeper clean, remember that A2B Cleaning Services offers professional cleaning services in Kilmarnock and East Ayrshire. So, why not sit back, relax, and let the experts handle it?
