Laminated "Textured Stone" Flooring

Would laminated "textured stone" flooring reveal streaks after cleaning? I'm interested in buying this pattern for my kitchen, dining and utility room and would hate to have it installed and then learn it streaks. I know that people have posted that some brands of hardwood floor show prints and streaks. I need to know about the textured stone type, if anyone has info on this kind.

I had the textured laminate that looks like tile but it did not have a raised texture. I kept it streak free by wiping it up with vinegar and water. Vinegar and water is a good cleaner and leaves it virtually streak free.

It shouldn't streak after cleaning, provided you follow the manufacturer's instructions to a tee. Check into how to clean the flooring before you buy and you shouldn't be disappointed! You might also ask a sales rep about which products are best to use, and whether there are any natural (for example, Borax) products you can substitute for chemical cleaners. Another tip: in my experience, all purpose cleaners of any kind clean lots of things, but none of them well.

The texturing might trap dirt in the depressions.

Nope, just don't use wax on laminate or vinyl of any kind, we did and now very time we mop our floors or water gets on them they have white spots for about 2 hours! Bad looking when company is coming!
