How do I keep my laminate floor clean and sticky-free?

My entire home is laminate.

First I dry swiffer the floor first to get rid of dust and hair and then I mop with lemon pine-sol to get rid of any remaining grime. The combination leaves my floor spotless and smelling delicious.

The idea when you mop is to wipe, not circulate the dirt. I use a rubber bottom squeegie stick with a cloth so I can remove the cloth when it gets dirty and rinse it clean, then re-absorb the clean soapy solution as I go along. This way youre actually cleaning and not just moving the dirt around.

First try changing your mop head. I tend to use the kitchen sink rather than a bucket as I can continue to rinse in fresh water each time I squeeze the yucky water out. Ammonia diluated in water will strip your floor. You must go back over it with a clean mop and cool water to rinse it. I then take old towels and completely dry the floor. I would then suggest using white vinegar and water solution thereafter. YOu can add a little lemon juice to ease the smell.

Not all cleaners are healthy for all floor types. To extend the life of laminates and vinyl flooring, use a microfiber broom to sweep or vacuum your floors to remove the dust and dirt, then use a damp (emphasis on damp) microfiber mop with just water (or add 1/4 cup of vinegar to bucket). You can use essential oils like lemon oil and lavender or cinnamon oil, but I recommend researching the ratio of the mix for effective green cleaning.

It sounds like the cleaner is the problem. Rinse with plain water to see if the stickiness goes away.

try different varieties of cleaning products and observe closely to find the one(s) that works best

also try change the mop head at least once in two months......

instead of mop, use a surface wipes and c if it works betta than mop.

"It's the only good cleaner! Cleans Disinfects Deodorized"

Warm water with a bit of white vinegar.

first try another cleaner, if you know the brand of flooring contact them and see what they advise

nothing will help if it is really inexpensive flooring

i had the same problem. i ended up just using dish soap and hot water and then rinsing with hot water
