Floor panels are among the most popular materials for interior finishing. Thanks to their versatility and attractive appearance, they are appreciated by many people. However, cleaning them can be difficult, especially if you want to avoid streaks. Fortunately, there are home methods that allow you to achieve excellent results.

Home tricks for streak-free panels

One trick is adding a dishwasher tablet to the water. Cleaning companies often use this method because it effectively removes dirt and greasy stains. Simply wash the floor with a mop soaked in this mixture to enjoy impeccably clean panels.

Another proven method is using vinegar. Although its smell is not pleasant, it's an excellent polishing and descaling agent. Add a few tablespoons of vinegar to warm water to restore the panels' former gloss. You can also use dishwashing liquid, which, thanks to its formula, effectively handles tough dirt.

How to deal with flooded panels?

Floor panels are beautiful but can pose problems, especially when they flood. If you notice unsightly bubbles on the floor, it's worth taking immediate action. Place a dry cloth on the damaged spot, then run a hot iron over it. Be careful not to burn the floor. Finally, placing several heavy books on the panels and leaving them for 24 hours is a good idea. This should help flatten the bulges.

Regular maintenance is key to success

Regular floor maintenance is essential. Consistent cleaning and proper surface protection will allow you to enjoy the beautiful appearance of panels for many years. Remember always to use a clean, washed mop and a clean bucket of water. With these simple steps, your panels will always shine and look like new.
