Laminate floors should only ever be cleaned with a slightly damp cloth and better not to use anything but water. If you've used cleaners they have probably been left with a film that makes them dull and patchy. Like a window where you haven't got all the windex off. Using a warm water with white vinager solution on a wash cloth that is wrung out so that you are not going to get the floor overly wet will remove the residue. Dry with another cloth to remove any water immediately. You will see if theres residue and will need to repeat until you restore to the gleaming laminate again.

I use the Shark Steamer - it seems to work better than anything else. If I'm in a pinch, I keep a bottle of vinegar and water and use that with a microfiber pad.

Have had my laminates for 15 years. I use about 1/4-1/2 cup of white vinegar in the bucket of water. After cleaning area, then mop with the grain of the wood. Not too much water to avoid spots.

I like Pledge concentrated floor cleaner; using a Microfiber mop. The mop helps the floor to dry very quickly. I love Don Aslets mop from QVC. Just my opinion!

I use a mixture of 1 cup water, 1 cup white vinegar, 1 cup alcohol and a dash of dish washing liquid. Spray a small section at a time. Apply against the grain and then with the grain with a wrung out mop. Don't let water sit in puddles.
