Pergo or Any Laminate Floor Cleaner

"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 is the first "recipe" I've posted with the hope that many of you will be able to put it to good use!!!"

  1. 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!
     
  2. 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!
     
  3. Just bought an O'Cedar Pro Mist-- it has a refillable tank so you can use your own cleaner! (love that) I used this floor cleaner and WOW, I am impressed. We have a 14 year old lab, who slobbers a lot these days--hard to clean off the laminate floor. The alcohol and vinegar cleaned it easily. I used lemon eucalyptus essential oil and the house smells amazing! One recipe cleaned my dining room, hallway, 8 steps, tile entryway and daughters 10x12 room. I think I will make a gallon of it ! It would be great in a spray bottle too--for little spills!
     
  4. 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.
     
  5. I've used this formula for years on Pergo flooring, it works great, especially cleaning up after old dog! Works great on tile floors, and Corian counter tops. I add a couple of drops of Dawn dish soap.

I am in my early thirties and live with my DH and our 3 furbabies... a 6 yr old boxer named Sable, a 2 yr old boxer named Rocky, and a 5 yr old cat named Scoopy. As you can tell, we love animals and can't wait to one day add a French Bulldog to the mix! <br> <br>I guess you could say that I am a stay at home mom to our furbabies at the moment. In my early 20's, I worked retail management and then in my late 20's I was a personal trainer. I still love to work out but find it hard to find the time these days since we are starting our own business in real estate. So besides cooking, that takes up a lot of my free time right now. <br> <br>I love to cook ( now that's a shock I know ) playing in my garden, reading ( anything by John Saul, Robin Cook, James Patterson and whatever I can get my hands on at flea markets...) I also like to dabble in aromatherapy and finding natural alternatives to commercial cleaners and body care products. My other passions include spending time with my DH... and college football ( GO GAMECOCKS!!!) and just enjoying each other's company... whether it be here at home or up in the South Carolina mountains where we like to go toget away. <br> <br>Some of my pet peeves are: overly processed foods, people who will not try something new or different... intolerant and ignorant people, and disorder in MY kitchen!!! just to name a few... <br> <br>Edited 01.12.08: I would like to add in a huge thank you to the wonderful and kind hearted individual who has gifted me with a premium membership!!! I cannot begin to tell you how excited and happy I am just to know that you took a moment out of your life to give to a complete stranger... but then again, we are all a BIG family here aren't we??? :) I will now be spending even more time than the already insane time I spend on this site using all the benefits this membership has to offer. <br> THANK YOU!!! <br> <br><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/Adopted1smp.jpg border=0 alt=Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket> <br> <br><embed src=http://www.travbuddy.com/flash/countries_map.swf?id=2246958 quality=high bgcolor=#372060 width=400 height=213 type=application/x-shockwave-flash></embed> <br> <br> <br><a href=http://www.travbuddy.com/travel-widgets><img src=http://www.travbuddy.com/images/widget_map_promote.gif border=0></a>
