I am having the same streaking on my laminate floors. I have always cleaned with clear water before. I used mine for the first time tonight, first with the white cover – left my floors looking aweful like I had used a dirty mop. Then after reading the posts here, I used the purple cover. I am frustrated, they look just as bad. My entire downstairs is Pergo floors, and now they have a dull haze I will have to buff off with a towel.
Are we supposed to wash the covers before the first use? I hope that is all is. I still cleaned my floors of all the spills from my 4 kids, but they don’t look good. Does anyone actually have a solution as to how to prevent the streaking?
Not giving up yet!!!
Update:
Okay, did I say I wouldn’t give up? I just posted my frustration about the streaking and haze on my Pergo laminate floors…it’s my fault! Years of build-up and the wrong care. Pergo recommends vinegar and warm water to remove the residue. After spot cleaning a three foot area with vinegar, I ran the steam pocket mop over the area and MAN do they look good!
So here goes:
If you see streaking, hazing or film, it is because your floors need to be deeply cleaned once. After the initial care, the mop will maintain the shine and eliminate the hassle of the deep cleaning! Whew, I feel better now.
The first Shark Steam Mop took the world by storm a few years ago. Euro-pro is back with an update to their very popular As Seen On TV mop. They have made a number of improvements of their first steam mop including a longer cord, bigger water tank, and doubled the size of the cleaning surface. The Shark Steam Pocket mop(pocket because the cleaning head is reversible) has had great success so far with many people writing positive reviews for it. However, others have not been so lucky…

I read the article on Laminated floors. I like my floors but their always streaked. I have wanted to purchase a steam mop to see if this would clean the floor and help eliminate the streaks. Thank you for the tip about cleaning the floor first with vineger and then use the steam mop. I plan to go out and purchase a steam mop and try this. Can’t wait to see how it works. Thank you for writing your comments they were very helpful.

I’ve been using my Shark Pocket Mop on my laminate floors since we put them down. It’s awesome! I had used it on the old stick down tiles floor before, and couldn’t believe how much cleaner and brighter they got after using it a few times.
If you’re putting down a new floor, start right off with the Shark Steam Mop! Start clean, Stay clean!
