Was that pad you got at QVC, the magic cloth. I have the one to be used on furniture and windows, and had one for floors, but it wore out, and when I reorder the furniture ones, they didn't have the floor ones. :(

If the sun isn't shining across them, they look wonderful, but we have a large patio door which lets in a lot of light, and I see every speckle, water mark, wheelchair marks. Does anyone have any good ideas. I can't get down on my floors to hand wash. But I have Swifter everything and a steam cleaner that I can use while in my chair. I'm just tired of having to bust by tussie and still have them look dirty to me.

I hate to say this, but we put laminate floors in our bathrooms and I never DID find something to make them look clean! We finally took them out.

my ex husband and i owned a cleaning business and we never used nothing but either window cleaner or lemon cleaner for the floors and it never did a build up and cleaned very well and had good shine to it..and when i say floors i mean all floors we did alot of marble and tile and even wood floors and it worked just fine...

I'm not sure I'd put them in my bathroom. But I really need them in most of my house because I'm in a wheelchair, and it is so much easier to get around. I'll just have to cover the patio doors so the sun doesn't shine in . LOL

I use a large microfiber mop---one head to dust, one head to wipe up. I use Murphys Oil Soap and water mixed in a spray bottle...spray as you go.

I didn't get mine off of QVC. I ordered it off the internet. Just typed in Haan. This one was actually designed by a woman.

I use vinegar and water for all my cleaning.

This is the method that I use. All laminate floors i.e. Bruce, Mohawk, have cleaners if you choose to purchase them. Vinegar and water. It's the best; least expensive and works for me.
