Cleaning Your New Laminate Floor
Cleaning laminate floors is easy, but you have to be careful. You can end up making permanent marks if you don't know how to care for your new floor.
What I usually do is clean my kitchen (tile) floor first. I like Murphy's Oil Soap or Dr. Bronner's soaps. They are very gentle and smell great. Anyway, after scrubbing the tile, I wipe up remaining water with an old towel.
Then, I take the damp towel (which is really pretty clean because remember, I just scrubbed the floor), I wipe the laminate floor. I just sort of skooch it around with my foot, really. This seems to do the trick. Alternatively, if you aren't scrubbing the tile and the laminate needs to be cleaned use a mop like the one shown.
Laminate floors get finger (toe?) prints on them easily. Even the cat leaves prints on my laminate floors. You can "touch up" buy spraying some gentle spray cleaner and wiping it away with an old cloth diaper or towel.
