Homemade Laminate Floor Cleaner

RE: Homemade Laminate Floor Cleaner Post by Cyinda (161) | (07/07/2007) Contact I don't have a recipe for Cleaning Liquid, but I DO have a pattern for knitting a reusable Swifter cover. It's made to be tossed in the washing machine. It works great because it's made with cotton yarn, that gets softer & more absorbent each time you wash it. This cover works much better than the non-disposable ones. You can bleach it to disinfect it if you like. Why not make 2 so you can have an extra one.... ---> This pattern is done with one of those "KNITting Rings" http://kansasa.blogspot.com/2006/04/swiffer-cover.html *above pattern has lots of pictures too. Here's a cover made with regular KNITting needles: http://toomanyhooks.mycrochetblog.com/?page_id=175 Here's a different KNITted version: http://www.sheepofadifferentcolor.com/swiffercoverknitted.htm Here's an easy to read CROCHET Version: http://www.sheepofadifferentcolor.com/swiffercover.htm *** This makes a great housewarming gift! Laminate Floor in Bad Shape Post By Sandy (Guest Post) (07/07/2007) I recently moved into a home with inexpensive laminate flooring that is spotted and not in good shape....is there a dressing I can use to shine it back up? We cannot replace it right now as it is in the entire home except for 1 bedroom!

I have laminated floor in all my rooms, and this works wonderful. Just throw the old towel in the laundry and reuse. Marjorie from Michigan RE: Homemade Laminate Floor Cleaner Post By Lisa from Lena, WI (Guest Post) (03/28/2007) I use vinegar and water. About 1:4 ratio. It also helps to freshen the air. I refilled the Clorox Ready-mop bottle with this solution and it works great. I use old towels cut to fit instead of the pads also. They get washed with the laundry. I love the convenience of the mop but can't stand the waste.
