Floor panels are among the most popular materials for interior finishing. Thanks to their versatility and attractive appearance, many people appreciate them. However, cleaning them can be challenging, 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 to add 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 such a mixture to enjoy impeccably clean panels.

Another proven method is vinegar. Although its smell is unpleasant, it is an excellent polishing and descaling agent. Just 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 flooded. It's worth taking immediate action when you notice unsightly bubbles on the floor. Place a dry cloth on the damaged spot, then run a hot iron over it. Remember to do this carefully to avoid burning 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

Systematic floor maintenance is essential. Regular 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.
