cleaning gloss laminates.... what to use

Page 1 of 1
Hi homeoners, just wondering what i should use to clean our gloss laminate benches with. I currently use vinegar/watermix (in our rental)
but this leaves streaks. Maybe window cleaner or a microfibre cloth???
We just use a glass micro fibre cloth to sort of polish dry..

Hope this helps
what do you use to get the 'muck' off first?
Streaking that is left after cleaning usually means too much detergent etc. in the mix.
Try using a metho based glass cleaner
It must look like I have no0thing better to do but answer questions today
well I don't...still sick in bed....I look a lot sicker
than I type.

Anyway I clean everything with the Windex Surface and Glass cleaner, I do my basins, melamine units, glass tables, even some wooden stuff (but I don't tell my husband, he would have a fit) laminex, mirrors, my plantation shutters, everything. I even use it on nasty stains on the carpet, but you have to be careful not to use too much
Hey, didn't the old guy in My Big Fat Greek Wedding use Windex for everything? He even used it on pimples.

Actually, we also use Windex on our Diamond Gloss Laminate. No idea if we should but it works.

I have the Windex wipes for emergencies when people come over at short notice and I am in the middle of cooking. They are quick and fix things up without a fuss.

Otherwise we just use water and elbow grease. I am not a fan of cleaners on any surface and only just started to use Windex. (My husband does clean the bathroom as nothing gets the build up off like a bathroom cleaner can.)
I got told by the Wilsonart rep windex only!

Yes!!!! He thought it was the cure for everything!!
Just like my DH reckons bonjella is the cure for everything !!!!!!!
Got a gaping wound? Smear some bonjella on...works every time!!!!!!!!!

............DON'T use it on your Laminex!!!!!!!!
Does the bonjella work?
Yep no-name glass cleaner here for us. We had Cosmos laminex in our rental property and it always came up a treat.

No, I haven't been drinking but I do have a temperature
I don't have glossy laminate.....yet! but l have always used a 50/50 mix of water and white vinegar for just about everything l clean....benches, stovetop, cupboards, furniture, bathroom sinks, vanities etc.....I also use vinegar as my fabric softener too...... extremely cheap, no harsh chemicals and very effective
i just use a cloth with hot water to clean it then, a chamoi (i have no idea how to spell it) to wipe down.
