Default Cleaning laminate flooring

I have had my laminate flooring for a few years now and loved it, but lately no matter what I clean it with, it streaks! It is driving me crazy. Anyone else have this problem or a suggestion? Thanks in advance for any advice.

When I had laminate flooring I used the swiffer wet mop. I used probably 5 each time I mopped the floor, otherwise I was just spreading dirt/mud. I also tried using a vinegar and water mix, using the dry swiffer cloths, changing those often. Hope this helps.

Try using "PERFECT GLASS". We have high gloss laminate floors and an installer told me about this product. No more streaking!

Just a small spritz of water and a microfiber mop.

We use Windex per recommendation of the company that manufactured the flooring.

I also use Windex but was told to get the one without ammonia.

True I should have been more specific. Thanks for the correction.

I use cleaning vinegar, (1 cup), to a gallon of water. Use a slightly damp mop and my floors come out great!
