My husband just recently installed laminate wood flooring throughout the house. Can someone please recommend how to clean these floors? Some people have said just spray a little water and damp mop. Can it be cleaned with any kind of cleaner? I just bought some Murphy's Oil for wood floors but on the back it says you can use it on laminate. When I used it though it looked kind of smeared looking. Please assist!
All of the home improvement stores carry cleaners specially formulated for laminate floors. I think the Murphy's Oil will leave a residue that will attract more dirt. I have found that spraying a bit of Simple Green on the damp sponge mop cleans stubborn crud quite nicely.
Do not use Murphys oil on your laminate floor, Laminate has no pores & therefor cannot absorb the oil. You will be creating a slippery surface & a mess to clean. Really just a damp cloth or mop works great.
