Home remedies for restoring shine to dull floor panels

How can floor panels be restored to their former shine? Over time, floors can become dull, and ordinary cleaning usually isn't enough. To achieve the former effect, additional steps need to be taken. However, forget about expensive detergents. The best remedy is in your kitchen cupboard.

Clean and shiny panels are the hallmark of a well-maintained home. However, they will become dull over time, an unwanted but natural process. Sooner or later, it will also affect your floor panels. Therefore, taking care of them using appropriate products and techniques is essential.

Installing panels in the home is a significant expense that anyone who has finished an interior has encountered. After some time, the shiny floor may dull, and standard cleaning methods may not achieve the desired results. Dulling of panels is a natural process because their surface is constantly exposed to abrasion. To make the floor shiny again, appropriate care must be taken.

In stores, there are many floor cleaning products available, which can be quite costly. The cheapest ones may not be sufficient to achieve the desired effect. Before spending money on expensive products, it is worth trying homemade methods that may be just as effective. All the ingredients to prepare your own cleaning agent can be found in the kitchen cupboard.

Panels can be compared to skin, which, when dry, becomes dull and wrinkled. Moisturizing products are needed to restore its former appearance. The same goes for panels – after some time, they need lubricating to regain their shine. To prepare a homemade solution, you need about 500 mL of cold water, 90 mL of vinegar, and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Mix all the ingredients and set aside for a moment.

Before applying the mixture, thoroughly vacuum and clean the floor in your usual way to remove dust and dirt. This will allow the polishing agent to effectively cover the panel surface. It is best to pour the mixture into a spray bottle, then spray the floor piece by piece, wiping it with a soft microfiber cloth. The smell of vinegar may be noticeable for a few hours, so you can add a few drops of essential oil to the homemade detergent.
