Yes, use white distilled vinegar and three parts warm water, get your mop as dry as you can, and then clean whats needed. I would only mop once or twice a week. for everyday cleaning, use a vacuum with a bristle head.

Is it ok to use water and vinegar on laminate floors?

NO. keep water & moisture away from your floor. Your laminate doesn't need water. There are a lot of new & old Laminate floors out there and many differing claims as to how water resistant they are over time. Either way, the surface of laminate is nothing more nor less that your mothers Formica counter-top, on a fiberboard substrate. A Swiffer is the best thing going for laminate because there is almost no water to make your life complicated. Our other home remedy has been a bottle of Windex sprayed at shoulder level and let it settle sparsly on the floor, then dry mop it up. There is no need nor reason to ever put flowing water or use any mop with enough water to drip on a laminate floor. Its plastic & wipes clean with a moist cloth.

How do you clean laminate wood floors?

Laminate floors are made with recyled hardwood, so you should treat them like hardwood floors. Any regular hardwood cleaning product should work. In particular, Bona is a great product, but there are many others. For both laminate and hardwood, I would avoid products with oil or wax in the name or that promote a shiny finish. These products have wax which will wear down the finish and damage your floors in the long run.
