Laminate floor cleaning
6 Answers
I have just fitted this in my hall. I have wiped it with a barely damp cloth, but the cloth marks remain. What is the best way of cleaning this type of floor covering?

One method is to use a micro cloth which you simply wet with water -soap leaves a tacky surface.I have also bought a mop which wrings out almost dry (think its Addis) which again leaves less of a trail . But the only foolproof way is to wash the floor with whatever mop/cloth and then go over it again with a dry micro cloth.
I use laminate floor cleaner from B&Q with a sponge mop, and it does a great job.......... Have a peek......... http://www.diy.com/diy/jsp/bq/product/product.jsp?

Having an immaculate home - I too was really unhappy when it came to cleaning my laminate floor - same problem as you - streaks! I asked a friend who had the same floor and the advice she gave me worked perfectly for a "no streak" perfect finish. Vacuum the floor with a good cylinder cleaner first. Then use Pledge Soapy Wood Cleaner on a mop that can be wrung by hand until nearly dry - a great one that I use is the Vileda Microfibre mop - about �14.99 in Argos. Make sure it is wrung tightly until nearly dry and you will have the perfect no streak floor - make sure you don't use too much of the detergent as you will get streaks - use the amount stated. Another friend of mine also uses a steam cleaner - but I have not tried this method and don't think I would like too. If all else fails - get your carpets back !
