Laminate floors aren’t just vinyl any more. You have a choice of vinyl, woods, and tiles, and each of these choices has many more variations. Cleaning this multitude of products can be quite an adventure. Most manufactures offer a few commercially prepared options for their floors, and a long list of things not to use. Here are some ideas for homemade laminate floor cleaner that will save you money and keep your floors looking great.
It is important to remember that laminate flooring is a multi-layer product which is glued together. There for the use of buckets of water, solvents and even steam cleaners can potentially lead to damaged floors, buckling and cracks.
I recommend a dry mop method of floor cleaning, using a spray bottle of cleaning solution and either a sponge mop, a Swiffer style mop with pads or a microfiber mop. The solution can also be applied with a soft cloth.
1. Vinegar Laminate Floor Spray Cleaner
- Distilled white vinegar
- Filtered Water
Mix 1 part vinegar to 2 parts water. Spray on and mop up, rinsing after moping if desired to remove vinegar scent.
2. Laminate Floor Cleaner
- Isopropyl Alcohol
- Distilled White Vinegar
- Filtered Water
- Liquid dish detergent (Optional)
Mix equal parts alcohol, vinegar and water and a few drops of dish detergent if desired. Spray on small area of floor and mop. Repeat until floor is done. If detergent is used you will need to rinse the floor after mopping. If using on a wood floor, do not let mixture sit, mop up immediately as the alcohol may dull the floor surface.
3. Scrub for Laminate floors
Mix baking soda and water to form a paste. Can be used to remove crusted on grime. Rinse clean.
Daily sweeping or dust mopping you laminate floor will help reduce dust, and eliminate scratches to your floor surface. Also the use of rugs or mats at doorways and in high traffic areas like in front of the sink will help extend the life of your floor.
