I wouldn't use wet swiffers on hardwood or laminate. Best thing to do is vacuum the floor and buy the dry swiffer and "spray" a 1 part water/1 part vinegar solution and wipe lightly. It removes streaks and cleans.

Re: swiffer for hardwood

The regular swiffer solution is fine on my hardwood floor but the swiffer hardwood solution leaves streaks on my floor too. Chat Icon

Re: swiffer for hardwood

The only thing that works on our laminate floors is either windex or plain water

Re: swiffer for hardwood

I know on my mom's real hard wood the floors the normal solution works fine but the wood solution left a residue for some reason.

I just used it the other day on my hardwood floors. I dont think it left streaks but I washed the floor first with a vinegar solution.
