1. Microfiber Mop
First make sure you have the right mop for the
job. The best way to clean laminate floors is
with a microfiber mop. Microfiber mops glide
across the floor picking up dirt and pet hair
effortlessly. The swivel heads make it super fast
to cover large areas, they get under tables and
chairs easily, plus they require less water which
is best because laminate flooring warps easily if
exposed to water.

2. Cleaning Solution
You can either buy a manufacturers cleaning
solution or make one yourself (scroll down to see
my recipe for homemade laminate floor cleaner
below). Either way youll need a spray bottle to
squirt the cleaning solution onto the mop pad.

Quick Instructions

1. dry mop with your microfiber mop OR use a vacuum
   on the wood floors setting to suck up big dust
   bunnies and hair tumbleweeds
2. dampen the microfiber pad with warm water and
   spray on the cleaning solution of your choice
3. mop the floor
4. when the microfiber pad gets too dirty simply
   rinse, replace and continue
5. when youre finished rinse the microfiber pad and
   put it in the washing machine on sanitary wash

Best Ways to Start

1. Run a vacuum over the floor. Make sure it is set
   on the wood floors setting
2. OR use the microfiber mop (without water) to get
   all the big clumps of hair and dust up. You can
   scrape the debris off and rinse before using the
   same microfiber pad for wet mopping
3. OR dry dust mop with a Swiffer type sweeper

Top Tip 

1. It is best to sweep or vacuum in the direction
   that the floor is laid in to collect all the dirt
   between the grooves instead of trapping it.
2. Dont use a vacuum with a beater bar because it
   can scratch the laminate floor. If your laminate
   floor has a high gloss or piano surface I
   recommend you avoid vacuuming altogether just to
   be on the safe side and begin with 2 or 3
   instead. This is because even if you set the
   vacuum to the wood floors setting it can still
   scratch the floor and scratches on high gloss or
   piano surface are very obvious in the light.

Top Tip 
3. prepare your home made cleaning solution in a
spray bottle or just grab your branded one from
the cupboard 4. dampen the microfiber pad with
warm water from the tap (not too soggy) and spray
on the cleaning solution 5. mop the floor a
microfiber mop cuts through gunk with hardly any
pushing down or scrubbing, so relax and let the
mop do the work

Top Tip 
6. when the microfiber pad gets too dirty after
one or two rooms rinse, reattach and continue.
REMEMBER - You dont need to haul a bucket of
warm water around with you. 7. One microfiber
pad can easily last for two rooms or more so you
dont need to rinse it out in the sink very
often. Theres no squeegeeing or high-duty
wringing like with a string mop when youre
finished rinse the microfiber pad in the sink and
hang out to dry. 8. After several uses (and the
pad appears to be quite discolored) put it in the
washing machine on sanitary wash And thats it!
