Bed cleaner to clean my floors? - tanTALK

ChristineE · 10-19-2005, 09:28 AM

Does anyone see a problem with this? We just put in new laminate wood floors in the rooms. Was using the Swiffer Wet Jet (which really sucks, by the way). The swiffer NEVER got the floors clean. I don't even know what these swiffer people are thinking. It doens't clean my tile floor in the lobby and it doesn't clean the laminate floors in the rooms.

Anyway we discovered that spraying bed cleaner on the floor and wiping it with a cloth works the best. Does anyone have any ideas about whether this is bad for the floors or anything like that?? Or is there something else that you use to clean your laminate floors?

I use it on my tile floors, but don't think I would use it on my hardwood.

Well the "wood" floors that I have are the "fake" laminate kind.... so I thought it might be okay?

test in an inconspicous spot, I guess. Don't know much about laminate flooring and how tough it is.

Have the pergo laminate floors and use the bed cleaner all the time works great and haven't seen any signs of it being a problem.

I use bed cleaner for everything. I don't have laminates at salon but do at home and you are right the Swiffer Wet Jet just smears it around unless you go over it about 3 times and my floor is big so it takes like a whole box of the diaper-y thingys. It is okay for quick clean ups..like when my dogs track in.

It should be safe for your floors unles you get them too wet, they like to swell if they get tooooooooo wet. Bed cleaner is a bit expensive for that isn't it?

..not what I use.
