Has anyone ever used a swiffer wet mop pads on laminate flooring? Will it damage the floor?? Thanks for the help!

personally I wouldn't recommend. I think they are to wet. I use a spray bottle that has a mix of White vinegar, water and a few drops of dawn. I lightly spray the floor
( small area at a time) or lightly spray my microfiber mop pad. Just my opinion. |

Having dogs, grandchildren, and adult children in and out of our house, we replaced carpet with laminate flooring on the first floor. I have been using the Costco brand wet pads for the last few years at least twice a week with no issues. When installed, we were told not to use a bucket of water or the type of mop that sprays water onto the floor. Our floors look like new, get abuse, and the wet pads are a blessing for the constant cleaning they need.

If you know the brand name of your laminate flooring, look for an online site that will guide you as to what that particular manufacturer recommends.
The channel construction (where the planks are joined together) varies from manufacturer to manufacturer. (Often they are patented to a brand) Some brands have a more impervious lock than others. If you can not determine the brand, I would stay on the safe side- using a well wrung out microfiber floor pad that is barely damp. ![]() |

I have linoleum in my kitchen and bathrooms. A rug guy recommended white vinegar and water instead of using a swiffer mop. He said it leaves a residue that you will track, throughout the house. I used the swiffer once and noticed my slpippers were sticking to the kitchen floor. Sine using vinegar and water, i have had no problems.
I am no expert, but I would go to google and see if vinegar and water, can be used on laminate floors. I would tend to think, that you need a slightly damp mop, as opposed to using anything that is wet, as it wll cause problems. IMHO Here is the link that proves vinegar and water is the best method: http://www.crunchybetty.com/diy-lami...ld-be-proud-of
