Had engineered wood floors installed -- need to find safe products for it -- box only says Timberland.?
I also have engineered floors in my home and when I first got them I went out and bought a wet swiffer. I hated it because it left the floor looking streaked and kind of dull. So this is what I did and it works so much better.... I went to WalMart and purchased one of those mops that has the plastic thing on it that you push down over the mop to wring it out (that way you don't have to get your hands wet) Then I just used a bucket and added about a half cup of white vinegar and filled the bucket with warm water.and I used that to mop the floor. It works wonderfully and leaves the floor looking like new everytime and absolutely NO streaks. I learned this from a carpet store when I bought vinyl flooring once and they told me to only use plain water but that if I felt that I needed to put something in it to use vinegar so I decided to do the same on the engineered floor. If you try this I know you will love the way it looks.
look at the floor cleaner label, one will say its for laminate, one will say for polyurethane floors and another will say its for wax floors. Use cleaners that are for laminate floors or for wood floors, just dont wet mop laminate as it will permanently damage the floor. Swifters leave residues that are bad for pets and babies.
Assuming you're talking about cleaning products, your best bet is to stick with a simple dust mop. Should keep it clean and shining barring any big spills. For chemicals, contact the installer or manufacturer for products approved for use with the material of the floor.
