Sometimes floors seem to get dirty in the blink of an eye. Maybe you’ve tracked dirt into your living room or forgotten to clean up a spill that’s now hardened on your kitchen tiles. These are times when a floor cleaner can come in handy to make your floors shiny and bright again.

How We Test Floor Cleaners
To test the multi-surface floor cleaners, we created tough messes on three different floor types: hardwood, laminate, and ceramic tile. On each of these floors, we applied a measured amount of mustard and concentrated tomato soup and let it dry out so that it was more difficult to clean. We also used black crayons on the floor surface to replicate the appearance of scuff marks.
Our testers then applied a specific amount of cleaner to the floors and scrubbed the messes with a mop. The cleaner’s efficacy was judged by how effectively it removed the mustard, tomato soup, and scuff marks from the floors after 100 passes with the mop. In our evaluations, some cleaners were able to clear away the grime before the 100-pass mark, while others fell short at cleaning up the mess, even after we scrubbed it 100 times.
@consumerreports We tested several multi-surface floor cleaners to see how well each one removed stuck-on mustard and concentrated tomato soup from wood, ceramic, and laminate flooring.
