How can I make my laminate shiny?

I always clean my floor with Mr Muscle floor cleaner and then wipe down with an old tea towel but after cleaning the floor still looks dull. Is there any way to bring back the shine?

Klear by pledge. Great stuff, get it off amazon.

Soooo sad that I know this.

Do not use furniture polish - it makes the floor treacherous! Even accidental overspray from polishing the wooden bench was disastrous.

I wouldnt use Klear for high traffic areas as it wears away and leaves obvious 'trail' marks on the floor.So a few weeks down the line you are in a worse position.

Also the reviews on Amazon arent that great .

I moved from a flat with lino in the kitchen and bathroom where I used Flash liquid for the floors to a flat with real wood laminate in those 2 rooms. I tried my Flash and it was very streaky and dull. I now use Cif Wood Floor Cleaner (liquid you dilute in the mop bucket like Flash) and its fine. It says No Residue on the label, that is true, and the orange coloured one is chamomile scented!
