  • How do you clean laminate wooden floor?

    From Simon Ferrol@21:1/5 to All on Tue Apr 2 09:19:51 2024
    I am lucky that previous tenant installed laminate wooden floor in my
    council flat. It is still reasonably ok, but it starts to show its age.

    Cleaning it is a mess. It attracts a lot of dust and mopping it destroys
    my mops (I have changed 4 mops in 9 months).

    I was thinking of buying one a wet vacuum, but a) they are expensive AF
    and b) I am not sure if they will damage the laminate.

    Any input on this?

    How does mopping a relatively smooth surface destroy mop-heads?

    If visible dust is a problem, what about a cheap vacuum cleaner?

    Get a robot vacuum cleaner?
