Simply dust mop or vacuum with a soft brush or wood floor accessory to keep your laminate floor clean from dust, dirt or grit. A damp cloth or mop can be used without damage to the laminate flooring panels, but do not use excessive water. Dry the floor thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth. Blot up spills or water from wet feet or footwear immediately with a clean, dry cloth, sponge, or paper towel. Do not allow excess liquid to remain on the surface of your laminate floor. Do not use soap-based detergents, abrasive cleaners, or combined “clean and shine” products on your laminate floor. Do not use steel wool or other scouring pads that may scratch laminate panels.

Why does your pergo floor show footprints from bare feet?
Because it's been cleaned with the wrong cleaner. Any oil-based or citrus cleaners or harsh cleaners may streak or leave a film on the floor - and show every footprint. Remember that Pergo is NOT WOOD, even if it looks like wood. It's made of laminate, the same stuff many countertops are made of. Plastic. Clean your Pergo with a cleaner made for laminate floors. Mist the cleaner on the floor or or onto a damp sponge mop or swiffer, then wipe clean. You may also use a vinegar/water solution or window cleaner, such as Windex.

Is pergo good flooring?
That is a question that you will get a lot of different opinions on. I'm going to assume that by Pergo you mean all laminates since Pergo is just one of the brands. The advantages of laminate are that it is inexpensive both to purchase and install, it is a floating float and very easy to clean. The disadvantage of laminate is that on most of them you are definitely able to see the fact that they are not real, with large sun exposure the colors can fade and it makes a hollow thudding sound as you walk on it. If you meant Pergo as a brand, they are a pretty good company but tend to be a little more expensive than others.
Can you use steam cleaner on pergo floor?
Steam cleaners are not recommended for Pergo or laminate floors because regular use will cause the substrate to swell as moisture gets between the seams. This can cause the flooring to buckle and come apart. Steam can be worse than regular mopping this way, because it is more permeable, and can get down between the cracks and into the substrate. Some people still believe, since steam cleaners use less and evaporate quicker, that steam cleaning is safer than cleaning with a bucket-and-mop. While it can depend on how hot your cleaner gets and how much moisture it puts out, and if your seams are only on the perimeter, in the long term it is inadvisable to steam-clean laminate floors.
