hi I'm Rachel you too sis and I'm going to show you how to clean a laminated wood floor laminated wood floors are a lot more durable people choose these in their homes because if you want if you have one big open space especially nowadays houses have a family room in a kitchen all in one big area the good thing about that is it gives a really big open feel if you can have the same material floor or the same type of floor going from the living room to the kitchen this is where laminate wood floors come in handy because real wood floors can buckle or get mold or things like that if they're in the kitchen the kitchen can damage them if your kids are messy or you have young kids or teenagers in the house it's probably a good idea to maybe consider a laminated floor as opposed to a real wood floor if you're going to have it in the kitchen like I said because the the wood can buckle and it can get really dirty in the wet areas so if you have laminated wood floors or a lot more durable durable they're not going to damage as easy they're not going to scratch as easy and they're really easy to take care of they still look really nice too you want to use vinegar and water to clean your laminate a wood floor what you do not want to use is traditional wood cleaners yes it is laminated wood floor but it's got a sealant on it and if you use traditional wood floor cleaners unless they are green cleaners you're going to build up a wax on your floor and you're going to eventually have to strip that off so avoid using things like orange glow or mop-n-glo or things like this or supposed to make your floor really really shiny because the reason it makes it shiny is because it has wax you don't want that buildup green cleaners do not have wax in them they can because wax is not biodegradable if it claims that it's non-toxic and biodegradable then it does not contain wax what I do is get vinegar and water you use about a cup of vinegar in a quart of water keep this around for all your cleaning for your laminated floors just spray them of course first you want to vacuum or sweep the floor if you have pets I suggest vacuuming because that way you're actually picking up the hair and not just spreading it around and this is what you're going to use to mop your floors are going to stay shining and they're going to last a lot longer and they're very easy to clean I'm Rachel you choose this and that is how you clean laminated wood floors
