You clean regularly. You mop often. But your floors still look... tired. The shine is gone, and they feel sticky — or worse, they show every footprint.

Most of the time, it’s not about dirt. It’s about residue.

🧴 The Real Culprit: Product Buildup

Over time, even “gentle” floor cleaners leave behind waxy film, soap residue, and sticky polymers that build layer after layer — dulling shine and attracting more dirt.

It’s especially common on:

• Hardwood with too much product and not enough drying
• Laminate floors cleaned with vinegar or soap-based sprays
• Tile or stone cleaned with all-purpose mops or overly acidic solutions

⚠️ Common Signs of Product Buildup

• Floors feel sticky or tacky after mopping
• They streak easily when dry
• Dust, prints, and pet hair cling faster than usual
• “Clean” floors look hazy, not shiny

💡 Pro Tip:

Less is more. Use a barely damp microfiber mop with neutral pH cleaner — and never over-wet wood or laminate. For old buildup, a neutralizer rinse or professional buffing may be required.
