the laminate floor we have was put down 12 years ago all I have ever done is mop it over with a bit of bleach in hot water and it's only in the last 6 months that it has started to look worn

I've recently started using white vinegar, bicarb of soda and lemon juice to clean my house to 1) save money 2) cut down on my use of chemicals 3) gett better results! and I wondered if anyone has any tips for making a laminate floor cleaner and how best to use it..mop/cloth etc? Also can you tell me how and what to use Microfibre cloths to get best results
THANK YOU!

warm water and elbow grease. Don't use any fragrant stuff on laminate, it evaporates in no time. Use other things to fragrent your house0

hello, thank you for speedy reply - so I don't need to use anything but hot water?0

I have used other stuff, Mr.Sheen floor wipes, etc, but I find they leave scummy marks. It's better to get at them with warm/nearly boiling water and plenty of elbow greese, it may take a few times to get the scum off, but once you've got it off it's easier the next time.
I'm not sure if there's anything out there for laminate, I'd stick to warm water until there is something.0 -
I usually use warm water and stardropsFluttering about an inch off the ground, I may fly properly one day and soar in the clouds!

I use warm water and stardrops as well but I make sure that the mop is wrung out to almost dry never put a wet mop on laminateBlessed are the cracked for they are the ones that let in the light

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!0
