Donating YT 30K Club Member | I just use vinegar and water and spray it on and use a microfiber mop to wipe it.

| We just put new laminate flooring in our master bedroom and hallway. I only use warm water and a cotton mop. I have a friend with hardwood and she puts a touch of dish soap or vinegar.

| My floor guy told me there is special cleaner @ Lowe's. It makes them last longer and look better. I didn't try it yet.

| cleaning floors I have found that the new steam cleaner [shark] is great.distilled water and laminated floors and the steam do great to together. A friend has all hard wood floors, her husband said the floors are clean.So for christmas her mother in law got her one.Well the husband was a mazed at the dirt on the clean floors. No cemicles to hurt the puppies and babys.I pulled all my carpet out and put in hard wood floors,and my shark.You can get it at K MART/WALMART. Hope this will help |

| The installer who put mine down told me to go to Lowes and get a Bruce floor cleaning kit. It has the microfiber mop and a spray cleaner. It seems to work very well.

| I also have a Shark steam mop and love it. I just use regular tap water with it. We had an H2O first and that was totally terrible!!! The key to the Shark is to make sure to keep it pumped so there is lots of steam while you're mopping. It is virtually dry when you are done and leaves the floors very clean without any chemical at all!!!!

| We use only vinager and water on our hardwoods. We wipe them dry with a towel. We have used the Bruce cleaner from Lowes. It leaves a coat that is dull on the floor. I had to use the vinegar and water to remove the film. Also, someone mentioned the swifter mop. I worry about the chemicals in it. Would it be safe to use around our furbabies?

| We have a very dark blackish color floor so it has to be something that doesn't streak much or you can see every little line. I ordered the shark steamer after seeing my friends steamer in action ...Right now I use shaklee cleaner ( just a little in a spray bottle) and a microfiber mop . Sometimes I use a swiffer , but not a really wet swiffer just a damp one to touch up a sticky spot ...but I have now heard they can be dangerous to pets so I haven't bought anymore.
