Bona products are what I used when I had them. Be careful using water, it can easily ruin the floors over time. While I adore dark floors, I decided against them, for that very reason, you see every speck of dust or any stray hair, etc. I have a lot of pets too. You might try at least a dry swiffer every day quickly to keep them nice.
I always try to tell my clients that dark is beautiful in flooring, cabinets and counters, but are very maintenance heavy. They make special cleaners for laminate floors sold at floor stores for heavy cleaning but for everyday dust and crumbs just use a dry swifter. Keep it handy, you'll need it alot.
Yes although it is trendy to have dark flooring, many more bits of dust, flour, thread, etc. will show up on it. No cleaner will prevent this from happening. If you don't want to be constantly cleaning the floor, I would say do away with permanent frustration, and replace it with a light color.
I know what you mean, I made the mistake of putting dark flooring in one of my houses. I don't think it matters what you use, you'll be cleaning it every day. I'd just try a Swiffer.

I always used Murphy's Oil Soap on a barely damp mop for mine. Between washings, you could use a microfiber mop head just to pick up dust. 😎
Yes, vinegar and water and then dry with a towel.
But I have been told that dark floors show all the dust. They are beautiful though.
Dana...I like Pledge for laminate floors.
Sorry but works for me!
