The current product we are using on our laminate flooring is not doing a very good job. After cleaning their is a haze that can be seen when the sunlight hits the floor also footprints can be seen after walking well after it has dried.

I have been looking online for something else and found a product call Lamanator Plus (www.lamanatorplus.com) . It is a three step process and might be the ticket.
Anyone here using this product, if not could you share with me what you are using that you are happy with. Thanks

I've had very good luck with the Bona products that are sold at Lowe's and Home Depot. They have different levels of cleaners.

Concur with jimmmy - Bona has worked very well to remove & protect

Cheers~

+1. Bona is good

Check with the manufacturer. Ours (Quick-Step) recommends nothing to polish the laminate. Our re-hab guys used Bona and we had to clean it off with vinegar or something because of the haze it left.

We have been using a steam mop with distilled water. No chemicals at all.

Bona.

Or, 3 parts distilled water, 1 part white vinegar, and a drop or two of Dawn dish soap in a 32 oz squirt bottle.

This. Bona is generally good stuff, but it can do damage.

Hoover Floormate Deluxe

I tried just about everything on my Pergo flooring and every one of them left streaks or just didn't work worth a damn. This thing works like a charm.

Update

Being the floor was done before we purchased the home, I didn't know who the manufacturer was but remember we had an extra box of flooring in the garage storage area. Got info from website Unilin Quick-Step and they have a cleaner (sold @ Walmart) that would take care of my problem.


Thanks for the responses, FYI were not using Bona but we were using a similar product for laminate.

My version of Bona cleaner

• 1 and 1/4 cups hot water
• 1/4 cup white vinegar
• 1 and 3/4 tsp borax
• 1 pump dish soap
• 5 drops essential oils (optional) - clove, peppermint, for aroma

We installed our laminate floor in the family room, probably 20 years ago. Manufacturer instructions said to use NO finish. Damp mop with clear water and wipe dry. Still working well, no scars, scrapes, etc.

We have Shaw laminate flooring. I mistakenly used Quick Shine on it a couple of times when my wife was not able to clean.

BIG MISTAKE. It gave the flooring a sheen , totally unlike the satin finish of the natural flooring, and showed buildup, even from just using it twice.

I had to buy and use Quick Shine's Deep Cleaner to strip that polish off. A helluva lot of work.
I repeat, a helluvalot of work.

Now its vacumn, and warm mild soapy water, and rinse.

I bought this one a couple months ago.

SharkNinja Shark Genius Hard Floor Cleaning System (S5003D)

I love it..
Works great on the laminate on low, works great on the ceramic tile on high.
I even use it to spot clean muddy dog paw prints in the carpet...

Leaves the laminate shiny enough for us..
