What is the best way to clean laminate flooring?

Answer by  ruth (407)

Laminate flooring generally doesn't need anymore than a sweeping. Use a Swifter to get all the dust and hair. Sometimes you will need to wash it, a Swifter Wet Jet is good. You can use a gentle cleanser in water. The important thing to remember is that laminate flooring should not get very wet so dry it quickly.

A laminated flooring can be cleaned by wiping it with a dry mop. For tough stains bottled window cleaners may be used on the stained spots.

You can use a light store brand cleaner made specifically for laminate flooring, available at any hardware or grocery store, a solution of equal parts vinegar and water, or a solution of baking soda and water with a lightweight sponge mop. A swiffer type tool or a mop made from micro-fiber works very well.

The best way is to use warm water with a little vinegar. Or check the Home store and see what they recommend.

The best care for laminate flooring is regular sweeping and dry mopping. Avoid using a lot of water on the floor. It can seep through causing your floor to buckle.

Answer by  ThomasDenholm (72)

For daily dust and hair a soft indoor brush is sufficient. For stains, spills and overall grime, a mop is best. DO NOT soak your floor with water as it will most likely seep through to the floor below, use a water and detergent solution in a spray bottle and spray the floor then use the mop.

Use a warm damp mop and a little mild soap. Mix the soap with the warm water, dip the mop, wring it out well and mop away.

There are a lot of expensive cleaners you can buy, but two things work best: an oil based soap for wood floors, or vinegar and water.

Laminate flooring can be cleaned by bleach. But I personally recommend using Lysol wipes or Mr. Clean. Take some Mr. Clean solution and dissolve in bucket and clean accordingly.
