What to use

[~*familyof3*~]

So we just moved home. Our new home has that wooden flooring that you just click into place yourself and im not sure its ok to use my steam mop on it.

So does anyone knows whats safe to use? Thanks

My roomba vacuums and I use a swish mop.

No, steam mops are no good for timber floors. I wish they were cause it'd make cleaning here much easier.

No, no steam mops, it will take the laminate off the top.

You aren't actually supposed to get them wet . WTH are you supposed to clean them with I hear you ask I asked the installer the very same thing I've had them 4 years and I've always used a really well rung out mop. I use boiling water and it dries really quickly.
Some use those Swiffer thingos. Some advocate drying immediately with a towel (umm no that's too hard lol).

I also use a really well wrung out mop with boiling water, however no matter what I do I can't stop them streaking! If anyone has any ideas i would love to know!

I clean house and was never told by the owner not to get hers wet. In any case I use a spray mop with hot water, it dries quickly. Pick the red one over the green one, it lasts longer.

I don't have timber flooring, but I put metho in my mop bucket, with hot water. It helps dry the floor quicker. Don't know if that'd help you?

Metho and hot water is recommended by most timber flooring specialists.

We have the old fashioned hardwood floors. I use metho and boiling water with a splash of Eucalyptus oil to make it smell nicer.
