We have I think laminate that looks like wood throughout the house, I use an electric scrubber mop I just spray bono before I scrub the spot, the mop heads can go in the wash.

I only use half vinegar half hot water  in a spray bottle and mist my floor and use a large push mop with changeable terry cloth cover. I used to use the swiffer for laminate floors that had the sprayer attached but i felt the residue attracted more dirt. 

Vinegar and water is inexpensive, affective, and versatile around the house,

If i were to use a floor cleaning solution it would be Bono but i dont bother to.

I have had no problems doing a quick steam occasionally and running my dry Swiffer over the floor daily.

i really like the Swiffer wet mop cloths...I can't believe how wonderfully clean and shiny they get my wood plank flooring. I started using these about two months ago and that's all  i use now.

I have waterproof LVP thru my house, including bathrooms and was told by the vendor & contractor never use steam mop -- the residual water collects in the seams and will warp.

Once a week I take my good old Don Aslett microfiber pad with a hint of water and mop them.

Theyre hardly dirty just dusty!  I have porcelain ceramic tile in kitchen I spray floor lightly with vinegar & then steam clean.  They come out perfect🙂

Personally I don't care for steamers (and I've had a couple of them.)  I think a mop works best.  The key would be to use a non-streaking cleaner like vinegar (or an actual floor product), and not get the floor sopping wet.

@faeriemoon I thought I was the only one that didn't care for a steamer.

I was mortified to see how dirty the floor really was when I went back to washing  it the old fashioned way.

@CelticCrafter Totally agree.  I guess "sanitizing" and "cleaning" are two different things.  Not to mention the steamers don't get into corners or under things very easily.  I found that the steamer pushed dirt into the corners and against the woodwork.  Not a fan.

Adding:  I think if one feels the need to sanitize, it's best to wash the floor with a mop first.
