Hi all,
I have just had a new tile effect laminate floor laid in my kitchen.
What is the best way to wash it? I have a few little dogs and want to
use something safe for them.

I use a Swiffer on my laminate for quick dusting. I use the Dirt Devil
Swiffer-Vac that is available now at Odd Lots/Big Lots for about $12 because
the packaging has changed (normal price is about $35) Before that I just
used a Swiffer mop, Swiffer mop head with a microfiber cloth, or a soft
broom. To clean, I use a steam mop. This is completely safe for your pets
because it only uses water. I have the Eureka deluxe steam mop. Bissell
and several other companies make steam mops. If you don't want to go that
route, just use some white vinegar. In fact, some laminate makers recommend
vinegar. I like to use micro cloths on my laminate if I "wet" mop or hand
scrub them. You really shouldn't get them very wet - no standing water for
sure.

| Hi there,
I like the thought of using vinegar.
I stay in Scotland and I have never heard of a steam mop.

Here is a Froogle.UK search for "steam mop"

There are only four things that you can use on your floors to keep them
clean: Your hands and knees.

This is waaaaaaaaaaaaay late. I use a microfiber mop I bought at the
State Fair a few years ago. It just uses water. I wring the
behoogies out of it when I use it on my laminate or on my wood floors.
It cleans fabulously. I don't wring it quite so much when I use it on
the linoleum. I've pretty much pitched all the stuff I used to use on
my floors, other than the Swiffer wet mop stuff which I use on the
floor of my laundry room which is also the cat box room. My cats miss
a lot.
