Get a cedar stick I have three. I use one to wash floor once a week after I have vacumed well I clean it with the vinegar water then I have my second stick and one of my kids dry the floor right behind me (winter rainy season I clean sometimes daily) then twice a month I use Bono with a lambs cloth afther I have complerly cleaned and dryed floor. I am a cleaning nut tho you can buy the cedar mops/sticks @ walmart and if go to there website they always have coupons.

After you wash floors with water and vinegar try BONO..it is wonderful. You can get at Ace Hardware…..In areas I do not use alot I only wash every other week but Bono every week. Good Luck

We had a similar case when we were changing our wood floors with laminates. In the end we switched to vacuum cleaners which worked very well.

That was not helpful advise Michael. You maybe able to afford 'real' hardwood floors, but many of us can't, thus we install laminates.

you should purchase real timber floors in stead of cheap imations and all of youre problems would be solved, timbers from around the world australian hardwood etc. if you put up with some inconvienience at the beginning these problems would not occur later.

The windex or vinegar/water suggestion sounds good to me; however, I have a slightly different problem: I sprayed silicone spray for my patio door slider and a few spots went on my laminate flooring, which my wife hates (and so do I)! My question(s) are: What can I clean up the silicone with; can I use a Bissel Carper Cleaner in that area without messing the floor up? The Bissel is a new one with hot water coming out. My wife keeps the floor clean so it is only the silicone that is showing…help!

I was desperate to get rid of the streaks. Apparently the streaks are caused from "soap" buildup. I mixed one part rubbing alcohol, one part water and 1/2 part vinegar. Sprayed it on and wiped it clean. Now I use a steam mop on mine once or twice a week. (I'm not sure about the long term effects of a steam mop but my floors are old and will eventually be replaced.) Works like a charm.

I had wood laminate floors and what worked best for me was water and vinegar as well. I diluted some in a large spray bottle and used a microfiber mop (the one I’ve got is from videlia? Not sure on the spelling- but I got it from walmart. I’d get the removable head wet- ring it out and then spray and mop, spray and mop until it needed to be rinsed again. Worked like a charm.
