How do I clean pergo floors?

[hamster]

Will a vacuum scratch it? Is a swifter wet jet ok? I've only ever had vinyl...

I'm sure they are super low quality pergo, too.

Our last house had pergo. It was really low maintenance-- held up well and didn't scratch.

I used our regular vacuum and swifter on it with no problems.

The vacuum should be fine as long as it doesn't have a beater bar and the Swiffer is good, too. Just don't let any fluid sit on it for very long. You can warp the edges if it absorbs too much.

Sweep with a broom and then damp mop.

DH buys laminate floor cleaner at home depot and has a cloth on a stick to wipe down.

You can use a damp microfiber mop. Bona cleaner if you want. We mostly just vacuum and swiffer.

The wet jet obviously leaves a little behind...that's not enough moisture to worry about, right?

That should be fine, but it might be good to test it in a corner or something to be safe.

We sweep/vacuum and then use a steam mop. The steam mop moisture has not been a problem.

It takes hours of liquid on it to make the edges of ours curl. And often times it will uncurl as it dries out. We use a Hoover Floormate and water with white vinegar to clean ours. In the past we've used a steam mop, but it's not recommended for the vinyl we laid in the kitchen and I think the Floormate gets the floors cleaner.
