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'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.
