I really don't like the orange oil thing (special cleaning fluid for hardwood floor), it's sticky and smells real bad. I like fresh clean smell, unfortunately bleach and lysol leave streaks.

Pledge makes a really good wood cleaner, make sure that it says cleaner and not polish. Some are in concentrate and others are ready to use, I prefer the concentrate. Mist on the floor and use a microfiber mop and go with the grain. It leaves the floor clean and does not streak or leave buildup. The smell is very pleasant, smells clean not perfumy. The cleaner can also be used throughout the house for cleaning besides the wood floor.

Very hot water with a little vinegar added. Sponge type mops seem to leave more streaks and residue. I use a Quickie Twist Mop. It's the best and most durable mop I've had in years and works great on my laminate and ceramic tile. Another thing I've done to remove the haze from my laminate is use a dust mop, adding some pressure and buffing the floor, or use some clean, soft towels and skate around the room to remove the haze. Prevention is best, but in a pinch these methods can make the floor look much better.

I love Murphy's Oil Soap!! Just follow the directions on the bottle and all done. I like to follow up with Holloway House Lemon Oil, Makes them smell great and conditions them to be like new. I hope this helps you out.

Do you dry it right away with a towel? You could try vinegar mixed with water and then dry floor right away.
