The Best Mop for Laminate Floors: Short Buying Guide (2022)
Laminate floors are renowned for being a more affordable type of flooring compared to natural hardwood, but still offers the same kind of rustic beauty. Additionally, it’s also more durable than hardwood.
But that doesn’t mean laminate floors are indestructible. Without the correct cleaning tool and technique, you may damage the lamination at the top of the planks. In today’s guide from Joseph French, a fellow at The King Live, we’ll show you how to pick the best mop for laminate floors
The first thing to take into consideration is the mop design. There are many different kinds of mops on the market, from flat mops to sponge mops and electric mops. Each one has their own pros and cons, but not everyone is suitable for use on laminate!
Our top recommendation is flat mops. They’re cheap and are highly effective at cleaning sensitive floors like laminate. You can fit the mop with a microfiber mopping pad, which is the go-to type of mop for cleaning laminate.
Another kind of mop that’s quite high in our recommendation list are spray mops. They’re just as effective as flat mops, but they come with an in-built water tank, so you don’t have to carry around a heavy water bucket all the time as you clean.
The last type on our recommended list of mop designs is electric mop. They’re basically a supercharged, electrified mop. Each one comes equipped with an electric motor which spins a pair of mopping pads at the bottom of the unit at high speed. So, you only need to guide the mop on top of the dirty stain on the floor. The high rotating speed of the pads will do the rest and scrub them out.

Surprisingly, even though the rotating speed of most electric mops’ pads are very fast, we haven’t found any that scratched up laminate floors. So, rest assured. The only issue with electric mops is that they’re very expensive. You’ll need a roomy budget to buy this type.
Microfiber is the go-to material for cleaning sensitive floorings like laminate. It’s soft, absorbent, and can sweep up a lot of dust and dirt. Microfiber mopping pads (the good ones) are also very cheap.
If you need to have extra scrubbing power to deal with ground-in mud and stubborn debris and stains, then the alternative to microfiber will be chenille pads. Chenille pads are also typically made from microfiber. But the fine threads are woven into tight, larger braids. These braids act sort of like a string mopping head, agitating stubborn dirt and debris on the floor.
And if you have to deal with liquid (which is a big problem on laminate since it can cause stains and water damages), a sponge mop will be best. Sponge mops are generally quite bad at picking up dust and dirt, but they’re excellent for sweeping up liquid.
