Does anyone have any ideas or a process they use to clean their laminate floor so it looks good?

Pergo has a floor cleaner you can purchase wherever Pergo is sold (Home Depot, Lowe's, etc.)
White vinegar and water in a spray bottle was also recommended, I think by the Pergo company. Mop with a flat cloth type mop (mine's from Libman). White vinegar and water is the most economical, but I get the floor cleaner occassionally because I think it leaves little bit better shine.
I sweep the floor first with a broom (5 minutes), then mop (5 minutes). Clean floor in 10 minutes.
ABSOLUTELY DO NOT use any kind of soap product or other floor cleaner as it will take the finish off the flooring! Vacuuming with a rotating brush vacuum will also take off the finish.
We've had our Pergo flooring down since 1999 and people still think it looks brand new!

I have used the floor cleaners designed for Pergo floor, and find that they stink and do eventually leave a build up. The best thing that I have found is made my Pledge. It is a wood cleaner, make sure it says cleaner and not polish. Mist onto the floor and use a microfiber mop and clean the floor going with the grain. The cleaner leaves the room smelling good, and you can use the cleaner on other things in your home as well

I run across this alot. I own a cleaning business. The best thing to do is use vinegar and hot water. Use a plain cotton mop. Sponge mops leave a line of fuzz when you pull. Wring the mop out real good so as not to have water spots. Armstrong has a great line of floor products.. These can be used occasionally without leaving a buil-up. Good luck

Use a dust mop for everyday cleaning. You can get a special cleaner to use on occasion at the place your laminate flooring was purchased (Lowe's, Home Depot).

I have found that just a good old 50/50 mixture of white vinegar and water does a fine job. The cleaning mixes that are sold look nice until you walk on them, and then you see scuff marks like crazy. The vinegar solution does not make scuff marks and is a good cleaner, applied with a sponge mop. Just spray it on as you go.
