Love this one. I found it because I have been trying to find something. Nothing worked well enough. I had to do my floors thee times. 1. Sweep 2. Mop 3. Buff and dry so it wouldn’t be streak. (Still didn’t prevent all streak. I tried all sorts of cleaners and machines. Then I saw this and tried it and it works!! The O’Cedar mop helps because you can spin our most of the water before you clean.

Hey JoAnn!!! I was just thinking about you! I miss you and you’ll see me one your channel again soon. I’ve just been trying to think of something else while I deal with Mom’s loss, but I’m starting to get back to things a bit now. That’s exactly what I’ve had to do. Have you tried a steamer yet! I got one and it has revolutionized my life. I need to make a short about it. They are amazing, but you have to know how to handle them on laminate so it doesn’t ruin it. Hope to see you soon!

I put the steamer on low and keep it moving. I don’t let it sit and steam in any one spot. The baby shampoo worked well too.

Im sorry for being the one that tells you that Baby Shampoo is not VERY GENTLE! in fact, it is highly alkaline on the pH scale of up to 9 or even 10! The reason that it is so high is in the fact that it has to be in order to not burn the eyes! Hair is very acidic around 5.5 pH, and good shampoos and conditioner products must be on the acidic range so that it's NOT damaging the hair! That being said, that's why it cleans the floor, because it's strong enough to cut thru the dirt and it has NO conditioning or film-tyoe products in it

I'm sure that they are fine with the pH of the baby shampoo being that high because it makes it cut grease and dirt film off the floor! But it AS A SHAMPOO IS NOT GENTLE! THAT'S WHY IT DOESN'T BURN THE EYES, IT'S THE SAME PH AS EYES!

Here's the spin mop I use by O'Cedar when I clean with baby shampoo. amzn.to/3M0tRpT I have also recently started using a steam mop on my laminate and love it. It's very easy. You'd have to figure out if you can use it on yours, because it can't be used on all laminate. I used the lowest steam setting and keep it moving as fast as I can. I never let it sit in one place and steam. It has changed my life. It's always fabulous on tile. Here's the steam mop I bought (I also got some extra mop head pads for it.) amzn.to/3tArcwE Hope that helps!

Well, that’s too bad! I recently had a big issue with my floor because I was so sick for months that I couldn’t clean it myself. My family tried to clean the floor and made a huge mess of it by using the wrong products and a floor cleaner machine in the complete wrong way. I was terrified that it wouldn’t ever look right again because none of my usual tricks (including baby shampoo) were working and the finish looked damaged. I finally broke down and used the Bissell floor steamer I bought for my tile floor. I’ve read different opinions about whether it is safe to use on laminate floors, but I was that desperate. I went over the floor as fast as I could, making sure that I never let it rest in one spot, using the lowest setting and was relieved that it fixed the problem and returned the floor to its normal state. Later I had a family member confess what they had done to mess the floor up. It was no wonder I couldn’t clean it as usual. I don’t know that helps, but I thought I’d pass it along.
