What exactly does restore floor mean to you?

Have laminate flooring in kitchen, about 15 yrs old.

It's in good condition, but want to bring back some of the luster & shine as when new.

I wash floor every two weeks with water/vinegar combo, and that cleans ok, but doesn't really shine.

Looking for home DIY products ?

I have a linoleum floor installed in 1978. It took a high traffic beating but it is in great shape. I decided to use Mr Clean floor scrubber and Clorax all purpose cleaner with bleach. the combination did a great job taking years of grime, dirt and stain off! I had to rinse the water a number of times. It got black quickly.
I did a second going over and it did the trick! The floor is like new except for a few normal gouges. I used a linoleum restorer, I can't recall the product, from Home Beautiful. It filled in all the minute cracks and gave the old floor a new life!
A great DIY project!

We have found excellent results with Armstrongs "New Beginnings" as a heavy duty cleaner and "Once 'n Done" as a regular no rinse maintenance product.
