I’ve tried lots of different products and even invested in a steam mop, a Karcher floor polisher and an industrial buffer ‍♀️ but only recently found mopping the floor then before it drys buff it with a micro fibre cloth tied over a “dusting mop”

Sometimes it's not the product its just that theres to much light coming in. I've used a steam clean and it smeared . I now use a warm damp clean cloth and Mr muscle window clean. That works for me. A proper micro fibre one

I’ve always used a normal mop and bucket with a little floor cleaner. My laminate has been down 12 years and still looks good

May have a build up on product on there. Try washing with fairy liquid and hot water and then use method. But its important the mop is dry before you use method x

I’ve found you need to buff them up with a dry towel

Often due to chemicals, or the hardness coming out of warm/hot water. Try using COLD water with a microfibre flat mop, then use a second dry flat mop to buff. Do not be surprised if this floor does not come back after ONE treatment of ANY technique if it is caused by chemicals / calcium deposits.
