Should you mop laminate floors?

Yes, you should mop laminate floors regularly with damp microfiber mop and pH-neutral laminate cleaner, but you should not wet mop with excessive water, steam mop, or use vinegar excessively, as laminate has HDF core that can swell with water. Laminate flooring like Pergo laminate should be swept or vacuumed regularly with hardwood floor attachment to remove dirt and grit that scratches surface, then damp mopped with lightly damp microfiber mop and pH-neutral cleaner like Bona Hardwood Cleaner or Bruce Hardwood Cleaner that is approved for laminate, costing 6 to 12 dollars, sprayed lightly and mopped, avoiding excess water that can seep into seams and cause swelling. You should not wet mop laminate with soaking wet mop, as excess water can cause HDF core to swell, warp, and damage click-lock, voiding warranty. You should not use steam mops on laminate, as steam forces moisture into seams and voids warranty for Pergo, Shaw, and Mohawk. You should not use vinegar excessively as it dulls finish, though small amount diluted may be okay occasionally. For best results, sweep regularly, damp mop with pH-neutral cleaner lightly damp, not wet, and dry any spills quickly. So yes, you should mop laminate floors regularly with damp microfiber mop and approved cleaner, but avoid wet mopping and steam mops.
