We have spent way too much on store bought products that just didn't work. I decided to search the internet one day because I knew there had to be some way to get our laminate floors to look clean. And that's how I discovered my favorite diy cleaning solution.

Dish soap, rubbing alcohol, vinegar, and fragrance oil |
The recipe:
1 cup water
1 cup vinegar
1cup alcohol
4-5 drops dish soap
2-3 drops fragrance oil (optional)
Combine everything in a spray bottle and give it a little shake.
First, make sure to sweep your laminate floors. Then, grab your microfiber mop and get to work! I like to clean a small 3ftx3ft section at a time. Lightly spray the area and use the mop immediately to avoid streaks. This may take a little elbow grease to really get a nice polish. The vinegar and dish soap get all the grime up, while the alcohol makes the solution dry super fast.

This cleaner is just amazing. We've replaced so many store bought cleaners in our household with this solution. This means less bottles cluttering up the place and we're saving a lot of money. And I don't need to worry about my 2 year old getting into any chemicals under the sink!

Your solution is very amazing. I can learn more from this post. Nice share !
We have had laminate floors for a few years now. After realizing how dirty carpets can get (no matter how much you vacuum or shampoo) we decided we only wanted hard floors.
