What mop do you use to clean your laminate floors?

We have a terrycloth mop that kills me when I try to use it, its so hard to push. Don't get me wrong, its a great workout but I already have back issues. What kind of mop do you use?

I alternate between my Shark Steam Mop and my Rubbermaid Reveal (using vinegar as the cleanser). The Rubbermaid is much faster, but I feel that the Shark does a better job disinfecting/sanitizing the floor. I use my Shark about once per month, and my Rubbermaid weekly or 2x/week.

I have Pergo woods floors throughout the whole house and ceramic tile in the bathrooms. I use a Shark Steam mop about every other week (the one with three different "heat" settings), and just a dry Swiffer every few days for dust/hair/etc. We have a small non-shedding Shihtzu and just the two of us, so it doesn't get very dirty. I love that Shark mop - it's so easy to push around.

Besides actually sweeping and using our Roomba, I use a wet Swiffer on our floor...not the Wet Jet, just the wet cloths.

I just use the wet cloths also. I have been thinking about getting a steam mop, though.

Wet cloths only for me, easy to protect my wooden-floor.

Warm water is best option; you can also use warm water and vinegar 1 cup to a gallon. It works well and I prefer something that is natural. I just use a mop that is well wrung out. Soap-based products and citrus based products can leave a residue on laminate making them look dull. It is good to use warm water as it evaporates more quickly. You do need to sweep, swifter or vacuum regularly.

I just use a plain old sponge mop. Seems to do the trick.

We have tile floors in our kitchen and bathroom but I agree with PP's on the shark steam mop!! I love that thing! It uses hot water to clean, you can buy scented refills for it if you like a scent but you really don't need it. I am kind of OCD about my floors so I always sweep with an old fashioned broom for debris, then swiffer for the dust and cat hair (we have two Persian cats...) then I use the steam mop. I also exclusively use Shaklee products in my home and love them.
