If you have laminate flooring, what do you use to clean them?
Mine are always filthy. They need to swept at least twice a day.
I've been using simple green diluted with water. This really cuts through the dirt but seems to leave a film.
What should I use?

At the moment, Mela power (used to be into Melaleuca). It lasts for years!!! I used to used vinegar. I am thinking of using a diluted orange oil product when my current stuff runs out.

I've used an orange product before. It works faily well.
I really like the way the simple green diluted with water works. I think I may have mixed this batch with too much simple green and it left a film. The film, in turn, is attracting dirt.
I'll try watering it down even more today.
Thanks for the replys. I'll let you know how today goes.

vinegar came to mind too mama.
Have you ever tried sal suds? I wonder if that would leave a film or not.

I will give the vinegar a try.
I diluted the simple green even further to see how that will work.
Thanks so much for all the wonderful tips. I really appreciate them.:heart:

I use half vinegar half water in a spray bottle with a microfiber mop.

Oh, that's right!!! I remember you talking about your microfiber mop.
I really should look into one of those.

In a spray bottle, mix equal parts of vinegar, water and rubbing alcohol. The vinegar and water clean but the alcohol makes it dry quickly. I also use a microfiber mop and it works great!
