I have laminate in my condo and the awesome thing about it is you can use anything really!  Laminate is basically plastic, so any household cleaner works great.  I have a set of interchangeable mops with both a dust mop head and a microfiber wet mop head (that go in the washing machine), and I just dry mop/sweep and then use the wet mop with vinegar and water most of the time.  I have a small dog so I don't want anything poisonous going on the floor, so prefer all natural.

The only thing I would avoid is any "oil" or "wax" type cleaners used for hardwood floors, since those would leave a film.

I use hot water and a pine oil disinfectant on my floors, cleans well, and comes up really well.

I have tiles so that isn't much help.  :'(

Thanks for the answers, I'd read about vinegar somewhere else.
Like the sound of the mop heads....
