I have tried vinegar and Murphy's Oil soap solutions on my laminate floors. They both tend to leave streaks/residue ..no shine..how does this compare?

This product works - buy the mop and a couple of the cleaning pads that goes with this product too as it sprays the product in the proper amount as you mop the floor. This product was recommended to me by the owner of a vacuum cleaner store as I had tried various products for my laminate flooring and was unhappy with the results. I went over to the local hardware store, based on his recommendation and bought both the mop and the cleaning solution. This is an excellent product - it cleans the floor, is very easy to use and leaves no streak marks etc. I use two cleaning pads each time I clean as I have a lot of laminate flooring. I just toss the pads in the washing machine after each use.

This works awesome! We have dogs and used a steam mop but it left the floor dull. After a few cleanings the floor shines and seems to last longer. Would def recommend it.

Hi! I have laminae floors by Quick-Step, this product seems to work great. But the floors originally aren't shiny - they are in between matte and a little shine... So not sure how this product would act on your floors. You can buy small spray bottle at Lowe's and return if you don't like it. Versus buying online and not able to return.

I never try vinegar & murphy oil. Bona works for me my floors look like brand new. I clean them once a week with Bona & dust them every other day.

Bono was recommended to me and it works well so far. It must be applied vigorously to sticky things so one has to watch the results and re clean if needed.

I didn't not notice any steaks on ny floors. I like it and think it makes them look shiny and new. just make sure you use a dry mop on them.

Works better than vinegar but I bever tried the Murphy's Oil soap. Bona does not leave a shiny shine, but does look clean and somewhat shiny after using.

I like this much better. I am disabled and have a cleaning service come but I require them to use my cleaning products. The girls that come here love using the Bona. It is easy to use and does a good job. No streaks. I have a couple of the spray bottles that they refill from one of the big ones. The girls tell me this is so much better than a lot of the other stuff they use. I have very old laminate - 18+ year-old Pergo and over the years I have tried a lot of things. This has worked the best so far. Follow the directions on the bottle .... vacuum first, the spritz from the spray bottle (NO WATER) and then mop with the Bona mop. Hope this helps I like this much better. I am disabled and have a cleaning service come but I require them to use my cleaning products. The girls that come here love using the Bona.

There are no streaks to speak of but over time the floor definitely gets duller. They have a product that gets things back to normal which I use about once a year.

On laminate and tile I use vinegar and water. On hardwood I use Bono hardwood floor cleaner. If cleaning pet mess I have used woolite pet stain spray.

I have found that the safest way to clean my Bamboo Wooden floors is with water. A little Murphy's Oil Soap in the water if there is a lot of soil. The Swiffer Wood starter kit applied too much cleaner and there were streaks on the floor. Rely on the manufacturer regarding laminate floors.

Cindy, do you mean laminate flooring? In my experience the anti-slip spray works like spray paint and should stick to any surface. You may have some dulling of the shine on the laminate. Weigh the risk of a slip/fall against that concern. Perhaps try the product on a small section and see the result? My 82 year old mother loves this stuff and calls when she runs low so I can "get on the computer and send her some more". Best wishes, John

I have not tried on my wood floors. I have used it on my tiled kitchen floors. We bought our home 3 years ago and after years of wax build up the floor were yellow. This is the only product that has worked. It works almost on contact. I used it right out of the container, pour onto the wax build up area, let it set for a few min. and I actually scrubbed the first time on my hands and knees. My floor came out beautifully. Restored to original luster. I love this stuff. I do plan to do the wood floors this spring. I hope this helps!

I've only tried it on vinyl table cloths, formica counters, microsuede couch and hardwood floors. It seemed to work well. It doesn't leave residue like other cleaners which I liked.

Are you using the Bruce Laminate floor cleaner? I use these with the cleaner and have no streaks. I used other mop covers that were not the Terry Cloth and they left streaks, that is why I bought the Bruce mop covers and used with the Bruce Cleaner. Did not have a problem after that.

Use it just the way it is. We have Laminit floors, it didn't make it shine the way I wanted. I like using the Bona for wood floors better.

It is basically vinegar and water, which is great for wood laminate floors. However, for the $8+ cost per bottle, I just went out and bought vinegar and water to put in the bottle when it was used up.

Actually I have tried using very hot water on the floors with nothing in it and it works well, also tends to dry without streaking. Unless the floors are pretty dirty than I will use a mild soap and very little just to get dirt off or the vinegar mixture, after that go back to just very hot water. Hope that helps.

Hi Elaine, I don't know, is the short answer. I bought this to add shine to my otherwise scratched up wooden floors and the shine is great. Also, it is not slick which I love. There are other products they make that would probably be better for cleaning laminate as they have a lot of laminate floors in Europe where I believe it was originally made. I would check the site and they should have a number to contact them. This is a GREAT product for floors so don't be discouraged by my response. It is well worth calling to find the best product for laminate floors. I know they must make it. Good luck! Susan

I've used the cleaner on wood laminate and on tile floors. The cleaner removed the polish very we'll off the laminate floor and worked very wee on the grout on the tile floors. I would say that you may try it on small space.

I use it on my home as well as my rentals and I have wood floors it has never discolored them. I would recommend putting some newspaper on the floor around where you spray it and use several light coats.

The Minwax floor Cleaner will clean them, and certainly make them look better but you won't have any 'finish' look, the areas. There's restore/finisher products that will give you some shine and make the floors look better for a while. I happen to like the Minwax Reviver product. Its not as finicky to apply as some of the 'restore' products and the floors will look better.

Bona has a different cleaner that is for laminate floors. I think I would get that instead.
