Pergo or Any Laminate Floor Cleaner

atlfitgirl's Note:

An economical laminate floor cleaner spray that you can make for pennies... and it gets your floors just as clean as that expensive cleaner they sell in stores... if not cleaner! This formula has been keeping my floors so clean and does not give me a headache like so many other commercial cleaners, so I have decided to share this gem that was shared with me from a Pergo expert.

This stuff works wonders! You can spray it on a sticky spot on the floor and after it sits a minute, the spot will wipe right off. I put my mixture in an old Swiffer Wet-Jet bottle and used it with the Swiffer mop. It works great, and is a lot more economical than buying a new bottle of the Swiffer Wet-Jet cleaner. I used double the amount of water called for, so my solution was diluted, but it still worked great!

This is great on the floors, but also OUTRAGEOUS on WINDOWS!!!!! I accidently picked up the wrong spray bottle and went to work--I noticed how it was going much more quickly than usual--that's when I noticed my mistake! Now I have 2 great cleaners in one for just pennies! Thanks!

I have a huge kitchen/dining room area with laminate flooring. When I first had it installed, I thought I'd just use a swiffer to clean up. WRONG! It was going to take a whole box of those stupid things just to clean it once, let alone on a daily basis. I have one of those dust brooms that's like a swiffer, but the microfiber pad is machine washable and attaches to the handle by velcro. In addition to using that (I only have one of them) I use cloth baby diapers and pin them around the thing. When I'm done cleaning, I can just throw it in the washer.
