I've always used Murphy's Oil Soap in warm water.

Acetone does a good job on Pergo and other synthetic hardwood.

I second the Murphy's for floors ... and fwiw, I just used it yesterday
to clean up an old cedar chest ... I'm in the middle of painting and
therefore also cleaning up the floors, other stuff.

The guy that refinished my hardwood about ten yrs ago recommended vinegar
and warm water. its been working well and the finish still looks good, cheap
too.

YMMV

Hopefully no one will believe you and ruin the floor.

Murphy's. If there are black scuffs, mineral spirits (test in out of
the way spot) should take it off. Takes off crayola, too.

Not true. If you go to Home Depot or Pergo.com you will find acetone
listed as the preferred cleaner. Get Pergo to send you their cleaning
brochure.

Ummm, Acetone should eat through the plastic. I would not try this
unless I saw someone else do it first, or something.

Need to rinse thoroughly with clear water?

I don't I sponge the floor dry. Murphy's dries streak free and with out
clouding.
