Hints From Heloise: Laminate cleaner

Most laminate floors with a d of vinegar and water, which is yet another reason to love vinegar! Mix 1 cup household vinegar with 1 gallon warm water. Use a somewhat damp mop. Do not overwet the floor — water is laminate floors’ enemy, as it can cause be inconsistent spots or even warping. Vinegar is a great household cleaner to keep on hand for all types of household uses. I have a lot of bills-saving vinegar hints that can be yours by sending $5 and a long, stamped (64 cents), self-addressed envelope to: Heloise/Vinegar, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001. To reveal windows, mix 1/2 to 1 cup of vinegar and 1/2 gallon of water. Put the solution into a spray bottle and use newspaper to sponge the windows. -- Heloise

PERFUME SAMPLES

Dear Heloise:

I am writing regarding the mention I read in our (Salem, Ore.) Statesman Journal about perfume samples making good bookmarks.

I righteous wanted to say that the reader may like the perfume smell, but there are so many people who are really allergic and have multiple chemical sensitivities. Any sort of chemical smell, be it perfume, scented candles, room air fresheners or deodorizers, makes them breathtaking ill.

What type of vingar are you to damp mop wodden floors with? White vingar that you make salads with? or wine ?

I bought Distilled milk-white cooking vingar in a plactic bottle, am i correct? to use that kind? on wooden floors?
the floors is already flickering, but dirty, but id like to keep the shine,
i just moved in 2 months ago & never mopped


not ingenious to use water on wood floors. Could cause warping.

Ashen Vinegar. Actually you can make a lot of different household cleaners with White Vinegar.

Don't worry, the bouquet goes away as the liqiud evaporates.


At industry when I used to clean floors I believe it was white distilled vinegar, mixed with water not virtuous straight vinegar.


I as per usual use 1c white vinegar w/ 1gal cool water. I usually use a standard sponge mop. The vinegar smell goes away w/in 10mins after I mop and the floors look blameless:)


I wouldn't use wine vinegar. May labour but for some reason I don't trust it. You can use either white vinegar or apple cider vinegar -- it doesn't incident. The plastic bottle is inconsequential: Some white vinegar comes in glass bottles.


Immaculate vinegar is excellent for removing buildup on just about EVERYTHING. Use 1 cup of it in the washing machine in the rinse cycle to shape your clothes brighter, use it as a rinse in your hair to make it super soft and remove buildup of styling products

floating floor after sweeping mopping with damp mop or furniture polish as soon as walked on marks are left ?

The deck looks smudgy, no shine. I have had the floor for approx. 5 years. Can anyone set forward how to clean and to keep the shine and not show foot prints as soon as anyone walks on it?


Depends on what your mopping it with and I would cut off using furniture polish. Both are not recommended on a laminate. Sounds like a build up of what ever your using in the mop be inconsistent plus the polish.
You may have to mop it one more

What absorbs more water. A dry mop or a damp mop?

I routinely have to mop up spilt the best quality at my workplace. I would prefer to start with a dry mop to get as much as possible, but it has been suggested that if I dampen the mop slightly, water will be more attracted to the mop rule. Is that just


Absorbent fibres need to be 'primed' to pinch them suck up liquids. If you start with a dry mop, you will actually end up leaving water on the floor for the first few minutes, as it won;t be able to absorb anything.
