We have moved into a house that has laminate floor throughout the ground floor, I am used to carpet, if you have laminate floor how do you keep it clean.

Most of the sitting room is ok, but I think the dining room seems grubby and sticky.

Hi, I work in a nursing home and some rooms have hard flooring.

The sticky feeling might be because too much cleaning fluid has been used. That is often the case at work. Try using plain hot water a few times and see if this helps.

At home I have a small piece of laminate in our porch and real wood in the hallway. I just use a sweeping brush or the hoover attachment and a damp cloth. No need for any fancy expensive cleaning fluids at home.

Edited to add, if you use a mop on laminate, you need to wring it out really well.When you thing its done, just wring it some more.

Mop, bucket, hot water and squirt of floor cleaner I've been doing mine like that for 6/7 yrs and apart from the odd scratch its still as good as new.

I recently had the laminate floor installed in my kitchen. I called their customer service representative to ask the best way to clean their flooring. Checking his advice, I use the Regularly dust mop or vacuum laminate flooring with a soft brush or wood floor attachment. You can also use it to clean windows, mirrors, countertops, sinks, etc. So, these things are needed to keep our kitchen floor looking great.

Cleaning your floors on hands and knees is really hard work. Maybe you should look for some mop which doesn't leave too much water on your floor but still successfully removes dust and dirt?

You can buy some cheap mop, you only need to check some review websites to find which mop is the best for your floor and laminate. I suppose there are some mops both good for wooden floors and tiles floors.

I can share a link of the website with a lot useful information about mops. So, this is the link https://www.bestproductspro.com/mop-for-tile-floors/

It says, mop for tile floors, but there are some mops you can you on you laminate floor.

Hope you will find this website helpful, it helps me a lot! :j

Being the lazy moo I am, I vacuum the laminate then wring a micro fibre cloth in the sink, sometimes with and sometimes without cleaning fluid, and use my foot to wash the floor with it. It is not too wet so dries quickly and comes up lovely. (I have trouble bending)

I hope I've cleaned my laminate properly? I had it installed a couple of months ago, and being white, all the dirt and hairs show up quite easily.

I used a vacuum hose to get at the dirt at all the edges, where most of the hair collected, then I used a damp micro fibre cloth (a mild dettol solution), got down on my hands and knees and wiped all over. I took 10-15 mins.

Was this a good way to clean it do you think?
