I used a rag and wiped the floor and dried with a micro fiber towel ( if film is really bad it could take a couple times of this). I did this on mine and the floor shined like new!!

I have the Amber Random Slate which is a beautiful floor, but I feel after 2 yrs, it doesn't have the same finish as when it was new. I tried the vinegar and water solution, still dull. I tried the glass cleaner,dull. I am so distraught over this, as I really love and want it to look like it did before. Please let me know if you get any answers. I will try the dishwater/ I have the same issue Richard. I have the Amber Random Slate which is a beautiful floor, but I feel after 2 yrs, it doesn’t have the same finish as when it was new.

Use a a swiffer that has been dampened and wrung out...I personally haven't tried it yet, but plan to do so. Instructions were given to me by someone who maintains the dance floor at the Eagles Lodge. I was told 1/3 rubbinhg alcohol, 1/2 ammonia and 1/3 water.

However, I was also told not to use a vacuum cleaner or water on the flooring, not to use a damp mop. Just a dry mop cleaning.That the vacuum would damage the floor as well as water would damage the floor. Read use vinegar, read do not use vinegar. Everything is yes on one website while no on others. It is Laminate, Tarkett Boreal. Really confused about this. Anyone know what we can use for sure? Thanks, Wanda I like your info.

What a variety. The fellow who installed our new laminate floors said he heard from (..a reliable source...? :^/) that a combination of water, vinegar and rubbing alcohol was good, but he didn't know the proportions. Have you heard of that? I would be concerned with the combinations containing soap, due to the residue factor over the years--filling in the fine etching of the pattern, etc.) Am I being obsessive? ;^). Thanks!
