We've all felt that little pang when looking at our floors: despite regular cleaning, they seem dull, flat, almost tired. We wonder what we could have possibly done wrong, and especially if it's too late to fix it. The good news is that in most cases, the floor we think is damaged isn't really. It simply needs a little attention... and above all, the right method.
Why can a floor become dull despite regular maintenance?
It may seem paradoxical, but washing your floor too often, or with unsuitable products, is one of the main causes of this dull appearance. Multi-purpose detergents, those that are too perfumed or too concentrated, often leave invisible residues. Cleaning after cleaning, these deposits accumulate and eventually form a dull film that suffocates the surface.
Another common mistake is overdosing. People think they're doing the right thing by adding "a little more product," but often the opposite happens. Some of it doesn't rinse off properly and remains on the surface. The result: a floor that still looks dirty, even right after cleaning. Hard water can also exacerbate this problem by leaving streaks that gradually dull the colors.
