your cleaners are leaving a film on the floors. Clean the floors on your hands and knees with windex until you get all the film off. Then only use a spray bottle that contains water with a couple drops of dawn to clean the floors.

Yikes!

Yikes is right. Do Not use windex on your vinyl flooring. Mop your floors with water only for a few times to get rid of all that product left on the floors. I have gotten good results by using just a very small glug of Bissell floor sanitizer (from Am a zon) diluted with water in my laundry sink (or a bucket) to clean my vinyl floors. And rinse out the mop often while mopping. I get a much better result not using all those full-strength products. Sometimes I just mop with water between regular cleanings.

I have beautiful Pergo laminate wood look oak flooring in my kitchen and bathroom / laundry room. It is about 12 years old, and still looks fabulous, no issues. Everyone thinks my flooring is wood! Per Pergos website, for my flooring, the recommendation is using only very dilute white vinegar to clean it. I have used only dilute vinegar to clean it for 12 years. You need to follow your laminate brand’s cleaning recommendations. Look it up on their website. Best of luck on your journey.
