Cleaning laminate flooring???

Pink.

Hi Poppymoo,

There's an earlier thread with lots of advice on cleaning laminate flooring so I've added your thread to it to keep the suggestions together.

Will get Stardrops - am I right in thinking only add a drop Stardrops?
What sort of mop do you use??
Do you use Microfibre cloths at all?

For years I think cleaning has been much harder cos I've used what I thought were good products but usually weren't!

yes you only need a squirt because it is so concentrated otherwise you will have loads of foam. I use an ordinary cotton mop and a mop bucket it really makes the floors shine with no streaks

I find stardrops can make flooring sticky, might just be me. I tend to just use very hot water.

I've changed how I do mine, and it's much easier. I just sweep them as often as [STRIKE]I can be bothered [/STRIKE] is needed! Then about every 2 or 3 weeks, I give them a good go with the steam cleaner. So much easier. I love it. Especially for round the high chair. :eek: :rotfl:

Also dont be tempted by the Mr Muscle Laminate cleaner or Asda's own brand laminate cleaner etc etc as these contain a high soap content. Its smells nice but leaves a greasy film over the floor.

This can make the surface look hazy or faded, and imprints will show, sucj as foot marks etc

I've got a laminate floor in my sewing room and just use a well wrung out mop when it needs it.
It's three years old now and still looks as good as new.I just use a bit of flash liquid or stardrops in the water.

I use a little stardrops in hot water and wring the mop out until it is almost dry and it comes up sparkling
