The Dangers of Chemical Laminate Floor Cleaning Products

When cleaning your laminate floors, you should never use conventional soap-based cleaners. Instead look for citrus-based cleaners, which are much more environmentally friendly. Be cautious about using chemical-based products as these chemicals used in floor cleaner products have been known to cause major diseases such as cancer, asthma, skin irritations and tissue damage, to name a few.
Types of Laminate Floor Cleaning Products

While some laminate floor cleaning products are full of chemicals, there are plenty of eco-friendly solutions. In fact, you could even save money by going the green way, and you will definitely sleep more easily at night because you will know that you have not exposed your family to any harmful chemicals.

Hardwood floor cleaning products also come in a wide variety of natural products, such as microfiber. These products are a great addition to your mop. A laminate floor Swiffer is the ideal way of cleaning tile and hardwood floors, and Swiffer mops have been accepted by many because they work wonders for laminate floors.

Swiffer pads are recyclable, which is certainly important when it comes to being eco-conscious. Just remember to recycle them instead of throwing them away, which defeats the purpose of being eco-friendly.
Homemade Laminate Floor Cleaning Products

There are many common laminate floor cleaning product recipes which include many products you probably already have. Some of them are as simple as one easy ingredient. Check out these tips for easy laminate floor care:

Ammonia, not diluted, just poured right on the floor
Ammonia mixed with vinegar
Vinegar diluted with water
Rubbing alcohol mixed with liquid detergent (although this one is only as green as the type of detergent you buy)
Sprinkle baking soda on a wet spill and just let it soak up the spill. Clean up the baking soda, and the floor is newly deodorized, in addition to being clean.
Add white vinegar and lemon juice to a bucket of hot water and mix it well. Dip your mop well in it and wring out the mop. You can use about one cup of white vinegar with four tablespoons of lemon juice to get the job done just right.
Use toothpaste on water marks.
Also mineral oil, lemon juice, and olive oil work well for cleaning stains, especially on hardwood floor. Just apply it to the surface and leave it on for a few hours. Then wipe it with a dry, soft towel for a great polishing effect. This solution is especially effective on hardwood floors.


Toothpaste sounds interesting for scuff marks and water marks...
