GUY NEEDS CLEANING ADVICE: What's the best way to clean laminate floors? samadams_2006 11-18-2006
The best way to clean laminate floors is according to the
manufacturer's recommendations. I've no idea if your floor is wood
or vinyl; nor do I know what kind of finish is applied. I recommend a
30-second daily sweeping with a light-weight broom and dust pan which
will remove grit, sand and loose dirt. Water, and especially steam,
can make wood swell.
