Need Harwood Floor cleaner.

[de8212]

This is for laminate hardwood floors. Anyone recommend something specific to clean/shine?

Pine-Sol?

Since it's a laminate, mix up a little cleaner with warm water that doesn't require you to go back and rinse it. Maybe, a light ammonia or even Pine-Sol as suggested. However, I think Pine-Sol might have to be rinsed off.

Murphy' oil soap. Never heard of it but I think I remember hearing not to use any kind of deterengent type cleaners because they could leave a film/residue. WOnder if this would be similar.
Have you used it on laminate floors before?

johngute- That sounds like what I need. Have you used it before?

"To clean hardwood or laminated floors mix ½ cup distilled white vinegar in a gallon of water. Dampen a towel in the mixture and wring out all the excess moisture. Use the towel as your mop. No need to rinse. Dry the floor if necessary. "

Just remember you dont want to actually mop the floor with too much liquid. it craps up laminate flooring. I use a damp dust mop (rung out) and spray it with some fantastic and clean it that way.. Seems to do the job

thanks for all the help. I'll try the water/distilled white vinegar and see waht it does.

I just use that $15 Clorox cleaning system that you can find in any grocery store. Comes with the mop and pads and cleaning fluid. I have laminate hardwood too. Works just fine.

We have the one made by swiffer that is basically the same thing. It seems to be OK but the floor just doesn't shine as much as it did when we moved in less than 11 months ago.

Home Depot and Lowes sells quite a few products for cleaning and waxing hardwood flooring. Have you started there?
