Vinegar vs. Other Cleaners
A homemade, vinegar-based cleaner is safer for use on laminate floors than any soap-based cleaner. According to the Discount Flooring website, soap and wax-based cleaners can dull the finish and damage laminate.
Homemade Remedy
Make a homemade laminate floor cleaner by mixing together 1/4 cup of white vinegar with about 24 oz. of water in a 32-oz. spray bottle, recommends the Dollar Stretcher website.
Using Cleaner
Spray the floor with the vinegar and water mixture and mop with a dry, dust mop. Be sure to avoid flooding the floor with water and vinegar. Excessive moisture may damage the floor, according to the World Floor Covering Association website.
