Try one cup of white vinegar in a bucket of water and wipe floor with a damp cloth. Or check the manufactures recommendations to see what they say to use. Laminate floors aren't suppose to be waxed and some products you use may void your warranty.

change your cleaner it is an oil based cleaner that is attracting dirt also it is a static build up that is also creating a problem. talk to the store like home depot on installation and maintenance of your floor or act like you planning on putting a new one in they will show you the packages and the maintenance parts so that you can deal with it properly

I would bet that it's wood laminate, probably med to dark tone? It is not that it is any dirtier than it used to be, dust just shows up easier. you just need to spray your dust mop with pledge, DO NOT spray it on the floor, ONLY SPRAY THE DUST MOP!! It will make the floor shine and pick up dust. When you mop, mop at least one of the moppings a week with vinegar. Don't use anything on the floor like mop and shine or anything for no wax floors. Mop in between times with pinesol water mix water pretty weak though.

I have a swiffer sweep-n-vac that cost about 30 bucks, and is a godsend for hard floors of any type: what the swiffer doesn't get, the vac does, then you can use orange glo floor cleaner to make it shine!

Armstrong has a floor cleaner that should do the trick. I have used it myself and was very satisfied with the results.

I use Murphy's oil soap on my laminate floors and it works great.

I use only warm water and vinegar as suggested by the manufacturer. It's worked well for years now.

laminate floors are hard to keep clean anyway, you should switch to tile or real wood.
