11 Effective Laminate Floor Cleaners to Keep Them Shining

If you are looking for a nice all-around clean for laminate floors, I suggest Black Diamond Wood & Laminate Floor Cleaner. This cleaner is super simple to use. Per the directions, you just spray and wipe. You can't go wrong there.

And it's not just simple. Black Diamond can handle all different types of dirt, sticky residue, and nasty spills you might have on your floor. For a tougher stain, you might need to let it sit for a minute, but it removes it in a few passes.

While some users complain of this formula leaving a residue, the directions do suggest using a microfiber cloth. You'll notice less streaking and more shine this way, but you need to use a bit of elbow grease when wiping it up to make sure everything comes out streakless.

You can use it on your laminate, tile, and other hard floors in your house. Like the Black Diamond, you don't need to dilute or rinse the Bona cleaner. It's also a water-based solution that's GREENGUARD GOLD certified to ensure it's safe for your family and pets when you are cleaning their spills. But Bona isn't just recommended for your home; you can use it on your commercial projects too.

The formula dries quickly, so you need to act fast when wiping it up. Otherwise, you might have spots or streaks. Another key factor to using this cleaner is to use it as directed. If you use too much of the formula or don't put enough muscle into your wipe, you could have that tacky feeling of your shoes sticking to the laminate.

One of my all-time favorite mopping systems is Swiffer WetJet. This all-encompassing cleaning system includes the cleaner, pads, and mop all together.
