Laminate floors can easily get water damaged. Knowing how to clean your laminate flooring, can keep it looking new for many years. This is a guide on cleaning laminate flooring.
We just bought an older, refurbished home. The contractor/flipper put dark laminate flooring in the livingroom and bedrooms. I have always had reservations about this type of flooring, because of the water spotting, etc.
Has anyone successfully used a steam mop on laminate? and if not, what do you use?
Thanks.

I was told not to use my Shark steam mop on my laminate flooring but others say they do. I'm also wanting to know the answer! I read the steam will loosen the laminate wood.
Why do some say it is harmful to use a steam mop on laminate flooring? Also what product will keep the flooring looking new and not dull?

I use my steamer on everything!If your steamer had temp. adjustments than maybe you may like to keep it at a medium setting.If it is one without that feature,I personally can't imagine not using a steamer.After all it is the only thing that completely kills germs. My daughter has problems with a "haze" if used and floor isn't cleaned fully first. If you use a cleaner once in awhile (I stay with my home made cleaners) I don't see problem with using a steam cleaner.
Good luck!
Are wet Swiffer mops safe to use on Pergo floors?

I used one on mine till I got my Bissell steam mop. You have to go over it with a cloth after or it streaks. You can use a Swiffer and put a towel in it to dry it but since I got my steamer I don't have to do that.
Even after mopping with Mr. Clean my laminate floors leave my barefoot babies with black toes! What am I doing wrong?

I have found that the best way to clean my laminate floor is to use vinegar and water in a spray bottle. A quarter cup of vinegar to a quart of water. I wrap a rag on my Swiffer, spritz the vinegar and water on a section of floor and wipe it. I change the rag for each section of floor. Result is clean floor and clean piggies.
