Q: I have a wood laminate floor in my house and no matter how often I clean it, a half-hour later it looks dirty again. How can I fix that?
A:Â You need to use a heavy-duty cleaner on the floor and strip it down to the original wood. Then you can refinish the flooring. But do a small test area first to see how it works before you redo the entire floor.
