Title: Is there a dual cleaning product for hardwood and laminate floors?
Post by: Leza on January 19, 2018, 08:22:37 pm: Hi,

I am just starting out and trying to save costs. Does anyone know of a professional dual product that can be used on all types of parquet / laminate flooring?

Thanks, Leza

You just need to make sure you replace the oil or use a soap based cleaner specifically for oiled floors that feeds as it cleans.

This means that the answer to the original question is No there is no dual use product when the floor is an oiled hardwood. Lacquered is fine. Neutral cleaner will do the job. Oiled needs the specific cleaner. I wouldnt recommend using an oiled floor cleaner on laminate as the oil feeder component could cause slip.
