Try the Laminate floor care system by Bona
I've used Bono and it's okay but I really like Holloway House products. I've found the most important thing to do when cleaning laminate floors, regardless of the product you use, is to buff them completely dry with a clean microfiber pad.
I just use vinegar and water, spray bottle and a micro fiber mop.
While I do love the Bona products you do have to buff once your done and I hate having to clean a floor more than once. Since I own a housekeeping company and doing anything more than once is both a waste of time and money I’ve done a LOT if research on floor care. I recommend a dry mop and/or vacuum daily or at least every few days. If the floor isn’t in a high traffic area, once a week is probably enough. For light duty mopping just some warm water with a drop or two of liquid soap (castile soap is ideal, but dish soap works) will do the trick. Use too much soap you get a cloudy film or worse, sticky, but just a drop adds some umph to the warm water. For heavy duty areas I use this amazing product from Aromatherapy Naturals.
https://www.aromatherapynaturals.com/collections/all-natural-cleaning-products/products/natural-floor-cleaner. The whole line was created by a housekeeper. It works amazingly well on every floor I’ve tried it on, needs NO rinsing or buffing and as an added bonus, smells divine. My favorite is the citrus splash but they are all wonderful.
I use a drop , and I mean a DROP of Dawn dish soap [Blue] in a bucket of water on my hardwood .Beautiful job and no streaking . Works well on downstairs laminate as well . Use a regular rag mop . No more steam cleaning or expensive cleaners full of chemicals for me
Same as Lorraine and then when done mopping it with vinegar and water, I take a dry mop and wipe it dry...really looks clean and shiney
