We installed pergo floor in our home and we know many people with it and I can tell you from experience that the only thing you should use to clean the floor is plain water. Other cleaning products will leave a small film over it over time and it can get very noticable. So just stick with water and a little elbow grease. Hope this helps!

Pergo is a laminate floor. It is constructed with layers. Melamine, fiberboard core and a laminate balancing laer underneath. Do not clean your floor with water it will get between the boards and cause them to swell and peak. Do not try to make it shine your floor will be too slippery. Clean your floor specifically with a laminate cleaner. They dry quickly and do not leave a sticky residue behind. In a pinch you can use Windex.
According to Pergo's manufacturer regular maintenance includes:
The surface layer of Pergo flooring is hard and compact, so dirt and dust do not adhere to it easily. The following simple steps are usually all it takes to keep your floor clean.
For general cleaning, use a dust mop, vacuum with the hard-floor attachment of your vacuum cleaner or wipe occasionally with a damp cotton or cloth mop. For heavier cleaning, use Pergo's Laminate and Hard Surface cleaner or a mixture of household vinegar and water (1-cup vinegar to 1-gallon warm water) or household ammonia and water (1/3 cup ammonia to 1-gallon warm water). Do not use soap or detergent-based cleaners, wax-based products or any type of polish on Pergo floors, as they leave a dull, filmy residue.
There is never a need to wax or refinish your Pergo floor.
Good luck with your new floors

I used to have Pergo floors in my home. I used a wet/dry vacuum. I believe it was a Dirt Devil. It would clean the floor then suck up the water. It was great, no mopping ever. Was just like a vacuum with an extra step. I think we got it for like $150 at Sears.

I am in the cleaning business and here is our secret!
We use the swiffer, but instead of using t hose expensive refills,
We buy this cleaning cloth off the internet. You have to buy in packages of 5 but they are only like $3 bucks a piece. I have ordered them and use them on everything, especially cleaning windows and clean mirrors. They are made out of tiny fibers. They are guaranteed not to scratch and all you do is rinse the cloth under water, wring it out and wipe ANY surface with no streaks or scratch. Use em over and over. I have not thrown one away yet!
I am sold on this ...I encourage you to try it out….hope this helps…Steve

I use a 'Swiffer' on mine. Dry cloths for sweeping and the wet ones for mopping.
