Need recommendations on how to clean Wood Laminate floors

We've been in the house for almost 3 months and I can't seem to get these wood laminate floors really clean.

I've been using Swiffer Wet Jet but it doesn't seem to get/stay clean.

Recommendations?

Here is a photo of the flooring in TV room and kitchen. The flooring in living and dining rooms is same type of flooring but darker & smaller plank.

I have an Oreck steam mop and I love it. Had the Shark steam mop before, which I liked, but it died after 10 months. If you get a steam mop and have been cleaning with te swifter, may e consider putting some vinegar in the tank for the first clean. Swifter left gunky residue on my floor and the vinegar removed it


Also, as far as staying clean, I mop every day to keep it looking clean. I think wood/laminate floors just show more dirt and require more maintenance to keep clean

For laminate floor I've heard vinegar is best.

Plain old fashion dish soap (small amount) and hot water ... Same as for cleaning wood kitchen cabinets. See this article on my blog: Best Way to Clean Wood Cabinets and Other Kitchen Tips
