HOW TO CLEAN LAMINATE FLOORS Q&A
Naturally many people have questions when it comes to cleaning their laminate floors or other hard surfaces. These are the most frequent questions and my opinion in answer form:
-
What is the best way to clean laminate flooring?
We all know that an excess of water and liquids are not good for laminate or any other wood flooring. Making sure that laminate floors are cleaned with the right amount of water is crucial. Again, Bona to the rescue. The mop sprays out the smallest amount at a time to leave a streak-free clean floor without damage.
-
How do you clean laminate floors without damaging them?
As mentioned in the last answer, the worst thing you can do to clean a laminate floor is to use a wet mop or hot steam mop. Carefully using the bona mop will help you gage the liquid added to the floor and quickly remove it so that no damage occurs.

I’m checking this out! I hate mopping and my floors never look great so I put it off wayyyyy to long.

Yay! You’ll love it, Sabrina! 😉

I will have to check this out. I loved our steam mop, but it is definitely on its last leg.
Author
Sorry about your mop, Emily! I’m really loving this one.

I love Bona! I have been using it for years on my hardwood floors and it works wonders.
Author
That’s awesome, Ayanna! Thanks for the great review. You’re on the ball!
shan
Sounds good! I hate the residue/water streaks that remain behind like unwelcome guests.
I have this same mop and I’m not sure what I would do without it. It is so convenient to clean up quick spills and sticky floors.
Author
Thanks so much, Jen for adding in your experience! I’m so excited to have it!
shan
Oh, this thing sounds great! I always struggle to keep my laminate floor clean and so far I haven’t found a solution! Maybe this is it 🙂
Author
Yay, Johanne. I hope you love it as much as I do! Let me know what you think!

Wow, I love learning about new cleaning products. There is nothing worse than trying a new product only for it to fall short. Your review was so helpful!

I like using Bona for sure!
I have laminate floors, but have not used Bona before. I will have to give it a try.
Author
Yay, Jennifer. Let me know what you think!

I need something to freshen up my floors! My mop looks like yours, but it is just not doing a great job. I’ll have to look into the Bona.
Author
I hope you fall in love with yours like I have mine! 😉
shan
This is great advice . We have carpet in our house that needs to be changed out badly. We are considering laminate floors as an alternative so this will be very helpful once we make the change!
Author
That’s exciting, Sandy! Congrats on the new floors soon. We have three rooms to do the same and I can’t wait!
shan
This post is such a lifesaver! This sounds great!
Author
thanks, Lara! I’m in love! 😉

I LOVE Bona to clean my floors! It’s seriously the best!
I have to try this because mopping my floors and swifter is horrible I have to use like 4 pads for swifter to do the whole job! Thanks for this post
I need to get one of these! Our kitchen floor gets the worst of it and is in terrible need of some love!
Seems like a great solution for my floors. I use a similar mop from Target but the squirter is always sticking. Might be time for an upgrade!
Beautiful floors! I love anything that makes the stickiness go away!
Man, these are great tips to remember!
I actually used to work at a flooring store when I was in college and Bona mops are what we recommended to clean wood and laminate. I still use one to this day!
Author
Seriously, Amanda?! You just made my week. Thanks for sharing your experience that’s priceless. I don’t know why I haven’t been in the loop on these! 😉
shan
Great tips! I LOVE my Bona, too.
This looks like a great product especially for wood floors. I’ll have to try it.

Yay, Jalisa! After having company for dinner tonight, I wanted to clean our living room floors. It’s a big room but instead of taking me at least 20 minutes like normal, it took 5. #inlove
shan
I’ll be looking into this! I had a steam mop (which I loved), but it went kaput. I’m in the market for another tool!
Author
I used mine again after having company over. It took only 5 minutes and there’s no rinsing or residue, and it dries quicker than you can count to 10. 🙂
shan
We’re getting laminate flooring and I am super excited to get this mop system!
Author
If my lighting were a little better (it’s 11 pm), I’d take a picture of my beautiful laminate floors that I just cleaned with my Bona mop. I am WAY too excited about this thing! My floors are gorgeous!
shan
That thing sounds amazing!
We don’t have laminate flooring but my mother in law does and she will LOVE this! Thank you for sharing!
Looks great! Will surely try this out. Thank you for sharing this! 🙂
I’m going to try your recommendations.
