Question about cleaning pergo floors???

Question

Can I use a steam mop to clean my pergo floors? If not, do I just use vinager and water with a mop?

Thanks

Answer 1

I work for a professional cleaning company and some of our clients prefer us to use a steam mop on their pergo.  I think it works well.  Water does contact the floor but it is in the form of steam and evaporates within seconds so I would not worry about it swelling.  It will also not leave any funky looking streaks that would happen if you were to mop it with vinegar.

Answer 2

I haven't heard anything about whether or not it is safe to use a steam mop on pergo. I do know that vinegar is a safe cleaning solution for it. Mix about 1 cup vinegar and with 1 gallon of warm water vinegar. Avoid soap and detergent based cleaners.

Answer 3

No steam...it can get in between the joints and cause it to swell! Make a cleaning solution of 1 gallon warm water and EITHER 1/3 cup of ammonia OR 1 cup of vinegar. Rinse and sqeeze your mop well before mopping.

Answer 4

Don't use water on them at all even thought they are not really wood floors the steam is not good for them.  Best thing to use would be Bruce's Hardwood Cleaner.
