Laminate Floor Polish - How to Shine Laminate Floors

An easy to use laminate floor polish is the Bona Laminate Floor Polish. It is a water based, non-toxic product. This polish provides a clear shine to improve the look of dull or worn laminate.

You want to clean the floor thoroughly before you apply the polish. Use a pad designed for polish and work in a cross hatch pattern. Allow to dry for 2 hours before walking on the finish. Allow 24 hours before replacing any heavy items.

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!

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.

Applying the liquid polish in a wave is brilliant.

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

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!

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.

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

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.

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!!!!

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?

[feliprea]

This product is what made my floors dull.

[krsncrs]

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

[DandyRandy]

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

[Melanie-ixnq]

Can you use Bona Hardwood floor polish on Laminated floors?

[lseeber]

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.

[mikoloe]

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

[mellymel]

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