Laminate Floor Polish - How to Shine Laminate Floors 

One trick I learned is that the colder the floor, the shinier the finish. I would turn the heat off and open the doors in winter. SUPER shiny

Bona is amazing stuff. I love it. My only issue with it is that if someone walks on the floor with wet socks or even wet feet, you see the foot prints n it stays there until you wash your floor again

Just coming across this video 9years later and it’s still very relevant!! I have new furniture arriving tomorrow and wanted my laminate floors clean and shiny! I wet the cloth and applied the Bono Polish just as he suggested and my floors look amazing!! Can’t thank you enough!

Applying the liquid polish in a wave is brilliant.

My laminate floors were never really shiny , but I like the look. I was told to never put any kind of polish on the laminate.

I live in a 60 year old home and the great room (kitchen/dinning/living rooms) has the original brick look laminate floor that no matter what I used (including my steam mop) ALWAYS looked like I had not mopped in DECADES. I bought the Bona floor cleaner and polish and put the cleaner in a spray bottle and used my steam mop and that alone made a MAJOR difference....then I used my flat dry mop to apply the polish. So far I have only done the kitchen area (I am doing a month long fall pre-winter close up clean to the entire house---with covid I want to make sure whole house is clean and germ free before closing all doors and windows for the winter) and sitting in my recliner glancing at the kitchen to see if the polish was dry yet and after 1.5 hours was getting frustrated....finally got up and went to check on it and ran my fingers along the quitting edge and it was DRY....the difference between the done and undone floor is the difference between putting a new brick against an old uncleaned brick wall....can't wait for my landlord to see the difference the next time she is here

Thank you! I made the coolest tree house ever for my 4 girls and I put a laminate floor in it so I'm excited to try this. I think that someone mentioned that all of this is available at Home Depot. Thanks again!

His wife must be so lucky... I now need a tutorial on how to get my husband to do this...

BONA is the best floor polish on the market. It restores the beautiful satin sheen to laminate flooring. Also it DOESN'T STREAK!! It is expensive but well worth the cost. People who get streaks DIDN'T CLEAN their floors properly!!!!

We've been using this on our laminate floor which is only 2years old. It doesn't bring back the glossy sheen to the floor after we clean the floor first and then apply this. The sheen still isn't restored by this product. The surface is still dull. The floor still needs to be cleaned regularly and this wax product builds up time after time.

This product is what made my floors dull.

YES I WENT TO HOME DEPOT LAST NIGHT TO GET THE BONA POLISH IM HOOKED ON THE CLEANER FOR MY LAMINATE FLOORS I LOVE IT ANYWAY THEY DID NOT HAVE THE BONA POLISH AND THEY SUGGESTED ZEP COMMERCIAL HARDWOOD @ LAMINATE FLOOR REFINISHER I BOUGHT IT IN A PINCH BECAUSE IM GOING IN HOSPITAL THURSDAY @ I DONT WANT TO WORRY ABOUT MY FLOORS PLEASE TELL ME YOUR VIEW ON THIS BEFORE I USE IT TODAY (SCARED)

Yeah, impossible in my 4 shedding Labrador household. I’d love for mine to look like this.

U can buy bona walmart cheaper then lowes

This will eventually warp in the seams unless it was sealed initially

I really want to do this but Im afraid to. My 8 year old laminate has a dullness to it. Ive used only water in small amounts to clean it. When I rub a spot, the dullness comes off. I have a dog and I have to wet mop occasionally! Im kicking myself for installing laminate instead of tile.

I thought I was hearing myself breathing... it's your cameraman!! Ha hah...! Great demo though.

I live in a 30 year old building, and the laminates are quite, old. how often (times per year) should I apply this kind of product to the laminate?

I can hear the camera person breathing threw their nose and its driving me crazy lol

we tried this and it DOES NOT do the job.

Thank you so much, I hope I can find this product in the stores

I wonder if you can use this on Luxury Vinyl Planks that are glued down?

Thanks

We’re just going to damp... *drowns pad in water*

Can't wait to do this! Beautiful.

After using the Bona on a laminate floor, can I spot clean a spill without leaving awful streaks? I only use vinegar and water now (there's no buildup of cleaner on floor) but if I spot clean it ends up worse with the streaks.

Can you use Bona Hardwood floor polish on Laminated floors?

If your laminate is not waterproof won’t the water base make the floor swell

Awesome thank you

Sounds like Darth Vader is recording this.

You just touched the faucet arm and it turned off and on!!!!!! Seriously though, great vid. Now where do I get that faucet set up. :)

What do you do if there's a streaky layer of polish underneath?

But a water based polish will be out when sweeping

Works perfect

Awesome video

Ok...I just applied it! Can't wait to see how it turns out 😅!!

What about rooms where you can't remove all the furniture? My king bed can't be moved from the room, or dressers etc. since I have laminate on the entire upstairs so far. (2 kids rooms and our room). I'm really wanting to shine it up, but am having the hardest time!

Does this make the floor bit more slippery once its dry, less slippery or has no effect? My floors are slippery if you are wearing socks for example, so will it make it any worse?

did you use a sealant on your floors initially?

But both google and my laminate manufacture says don't wax them...

I made a mistake and cleaned my Pergo laminate floor with Lysol wipes. It left smear marks and I want to know how to remove the smear marks. Any help?

what can I do to get having off my floor

How often would you polish? If I mop 1-2x/week, do I polish after every wash? Or less regularly? TIA

will it remove light surface scratches? thank you

what about a sealer , would you put a sealer on the floor?

The only problem with using it is it only lasts for a few days

....... Darth Vader is that you ???

is this the same for Oak floors? yes they were resurfaced years ago

Other brands of polish will work and be applied the same way, correct. (im in Norway and cant get Bona)

I can't seem to find the answer by googling so I'll ask here...how long after applying polish on laminate can I wash my floors? Polish has now been on for 24hrs and a very small amount of water got on my floor and I tried to dry it and it left a streak on my floor ...now I'm scared as to what's gunna happen when I go to wash my floors fully don't want a streaky mess

Great job !!!

can you use vegetable oil to clean laminated floor?

Good video.

My Pergo Laminate flooring is around 12 years old. When I purchased it there was no shine so, can I used the Bono polish for Laminate floors and will it shine?

Awesome

Question since you are the home fix it guy. Can you strip laminate floors (kind like you can with real hard wood floors) and reseal/recoat them to make them shiny and new looking and waterproof? If so, how would you do that, and what would you have to use product wise. Thanks

I have just used this product and am quite disappointed actually, I don't know what he has done differently to me as I followed the video but the polish hasn't given my laminate floors the high shine I was expecting, there almost noreflection like there is in this video!

I like wix wax from diversey

Everything I've read says not to use polish on laminate.

Thank you for your tips!

Doesn't this process go completely against a laminate floor's manufacturers instructions about not letting excess liquid get into the edges. This seems as if it will seep into the edges and cause the floor to swell and ruin!

I have a shiny laminate floor. how can I best clean and care for it?

Would this polish have to come off after a few months if so how do u strip it

I rent an apt with really beat up laminate floors: warping, deep gouges, etc. Clearly not well cared for, do you think this product might restore some shine to it or is it a lost cause?

where are answers to all these questions below? I see a lot of questions but no answers??? lol

What is that you are using? Is it a swiffer wet please let me know?

CAN I BUY THE BONA LAMINATE POLISH AT LOWES HOME IMPROVEMENT STORE

what about murphys oal soap. is it safe and will it shine the laminate

Go to woodprix if you'd like to build it yourself.

Where do I buy this product

what do you use to clean it in between the polishing

Ive used Bona on my wood laminate floor-not impressed - when floor dries its just a dingy as before you used the product. Don’t recommend!

Damp.....wow

How much does all of this cost these days?

Where can I get the applicator pad and handle with the Bona?

Whoa chill with the heavy breathing

Heavy breather camera man

Hi, How long will this polish last?

where can I buy one?

does this scratch? we have dogs

I was reading the side effects of their ingredients. No thanks.

The mop is bigger than your whole kitchen floor!

This bona stuff is trash. Puts a hard layer of sealant. Sucks

Bare foot bona applications

Across the grain on a laminate? The term - should only be used for real wood with real grain - Stick to crisscrossing lol.

I got a bona watching this

He made me tired with the instructions

CANNOT wrap my mind around washing the filthy mop in the KITCHEN SINK!! that is SO revolting, disgusting, and unsanitary. With everything we step on, to even THINK of it going into an area where utensils and dishes are is absolutely vomit inducing! I don't care how many times you bleach the sink, you don't mix floor gems with dish germs. Done!

Go to woodprix if you'd like to build it yourself.
