Cleaning Laminate Flooring?

Mr_Mister

I'm looking to clean my light grey laminate flooring for the first time so need recommendations on the best and quickest way to do this. 
I was thinking about getting a steam mop but not sure if that will cause damage? 
Thanks

Manufacturer's instructions? Unless they say otherwise I'd avoid anything that introduces moisture as I've seen plenty of blown water/moistureproof laminate.

We have a vileda spray mop but barely get it damp to mop ours.. vileda broom with a foam scraper thingy name below works wonders. 

Vileda Duactiva – anti dust broom

I used to use  Pledge Soapy Wood Cleaner when I had a laminate floor. I expect it will work well on your laminate.

Nope a steam mop damaged mine, even though took extra care.   Now use a spray mop very lightly spray, then go over straight away with clean cloth to stop any damp settling.

How dirty is the laminate floor ?

As already mentioned most laminate flooring is not very tolerant to water or steam heat 

Have used HG laminate cleaner, when that ran out used 99p kitchen spray cleaner (got same result) using microfiber cloths. Vacuum floor first, spray cleaner onto microfiber cloth (not floor) and gently scrub.  Its probably not quick but works and reduces the chances of getting liquid into the laminate joints.

Maybe you already have the cleaning stuff

I use one of these for ours https://www.jmldirect.com/x-power-mop-versatile-and-flexible-mop

You can just throw the microfibre into the washing machine when its done.

I do a good hoover over first and then a moist but not wet J cloth down on my hands and knees - might not be practical for everyone!

I use a spray mop - Addis Spray Mop | Dunelm

I have a couple of spare refill heads at £2 each - job done!

I use one of these https://www.amazon.co.uk/Flash-Powermop-Starter-Spray-Floor/dp/B07TF2R6CT  Never had a problem with the laminate.

I wouldn’t use a steam mop on a regular basis, the steam will penetrate into the joints and make the boards swell. I’ve steam mopped ours twice in 3 years, only because they were filthy from building dust. 

I sometimes use a spray mop with very little spraying, but mostly I use a Flash floor pad thing (Speedmop?) that you put floor cleaning wipes on to. Minimal moisture.
