GUY NEEDS CLEANING ADVICE: What's the best way to clean laminate floors?

| Hello,
I've recently installed Laminate Flooring, and want to know the best
way to clean my floors without damaging them. I was thinking of just
using a regular mop and water, but have heard that excess water on the
laminate floors might destroy them. I've had stains on the floors in
the past and have had to use "elbow grease"...what a pain...I was
thinking a steam mop might be quicker and easier for this sort of
chore. Here's a steamer I've found on the internet...any good?:
SteamFast SF-275 SteamMax Steam Cleaner
http://www.amazon.com/SteamFast-SF-...=UTF8&s=kitchen
I've heard a lot about the Swiffer Systems, but am not sure if they
would be as effective as the steam mop. For example, is this one more
gimmick than performer?:
Swiffer Wet Jet All-In-One Power Mop Starter Kit
http://www.amazon.com/Swiffer-All-O...=UTF8&s=kitchen
Someone recommended the Bissell Flip-Ease, but I don't really know if
it's more package than substance?
Bissell Flip-Ease All-In-One
http://www.target.com/gp/detail.htm...asin=B000J65U5A
Maybe just a regular mop would be best if I was careful? Soooo many
choices...as you can tell, I'm confused. I'm a guy so I'd rather be
watching football than clean floors, so the quickest, easiest, and most
efficient method would be the best for me.
Does anyone have any great advice on the best (and quickest) way to
clean laminate floors?
Thanks Soooo Much....

| The best way to clean laminate floors is according to the
manufacturer's recommendations. I have no idea if your floor is wood
or vinyl; nor do I know what kind of finish is applied. I recommend a
30-second daily sweeping with a light-weight broom and dust pan which
will remove grit, sand and loose dirt. Water, and especially steam,
can make wood swell.
