I have textured laminate tile floors (ridges) that the dirt stays in, would this or the Bona work on this kind of dirt?

My laminate floors have a texture to it as well and I never had a problem cleaning in between. I do put a harder presser when I mop on these floors.

Yes. I have laminate flooring. The surface of the flooring is slightly uneven by design of the "wood grain," and vacuum will leave a slight bit of water in the deepest grooves, but I find that it still drys very quickly and I don't consider it a problem. I like the ease of using the machine. It saves time/work/money by not changing disposable pads. It saves time/work/money by not having to wash non-disposable pads. I like that you can vacuum and mop with the same machine!

It works great on my grooved & textured ceramic tile floors using using the floor cleaner recommended by Oreck but you must use old towels or rags to wipe up the liquid/dirt before it dries.

I have used it on tile,tarazo tile and linoleum floors it has done a great job in all instances. Watch your cleaners make sure they are not to strong for the grout. hope this helps.

DO NOT use your Floormate hard floor cleaner. The gunk will clog it up. It seems to wear off with time....use a mop with attached scrubber for low traffic areas to even out the wear.

We use Bona on our solid wood floors so I cannot tell you if it works on laminates. I can tell you it works very well on our solid wood, which come from Lumber Liquidators.

I have wood laminate floors and it works great, great suction, no problems. I am very satisfied with my DC41.

I am regularly using bona to maintain by new laminate floor. I apply it every few months. I do not have experience with old laminates floors. When my contractor left the house after installing the laminate floor, removing wood panels from walls, finishing the wall, painting the walls and installing tiles in bathroom and some other area, the floor was looking really dull. Bona made it extremely shiny. This can easy hide all the hairline scratches but this cannot hide deep scratches and water damages, if any.

It works very well on my laminate wood floors, gets the dirt out from the seams

I personally prefer it to the swiffer on a laminate floor. It corrals the dirt into one spot instead of attaching it to the pad. I hope that helps. I really liked the product.

I use mine on two floor areas: one is smooth 4"x8" glazed tile laid in a herring bone pattern with slightly sunken 1/2" grout lines; the other is a slate floor with moderate texture (~1/16"-3/32", but no sharp edges), tiles sized 6"x6", 6"x9",6"x12", and 12"x12", also with 1/2" slightly sunken grout lines. The Braava works beautifully on both floors. A heavier texture could be a problem.

Yes, it should work just fine. They also have a cleaning formula made for laminates, so you could just use that cleaner with the mop.

Bona is made especially for hard wood floors. I'm sure it wouldn't hurt tile floors but I think it's a more expensive way to clean tile floors. I would use either swifter wet mop for the tile or there is a Magic Eraser mops that you use without any detergent. Or you can use just a sponge mop with something like Spic and Span or Mr. Clean. Hope that helps.

I am not sure what you mean about textured. I have wood, bamboo and TrafficMaster floors. I think it would snag if the floors are not smooth.

I use it on our vinyl floor without a problem Once it's finished cleaning the floor there is still a bit of water left on the floor so the directions recommend you don't use it on laminate flooring. We have sheet vinyl and not tile squares so there isn't any risk of damaging the flooring. I found that you want to vacuum the floor well before you use the Scooba as the ports clog up quickly if there is any dust on the floor. I hope this helps.

Does it streak or not completely remove dirt? I use it with the Bona tile, stone linoleum cleaner on my ceramic and linoleum tile and it works fine. You do need to use different pads when you use the different cleaners as the formulas are different for the different surfaces. I invested in two different mops and multiple pads so I just toss the used ones in the laundry after each cleaning to get the best results.

Any of the Bona cleaning pads will work. They are all the same. I used the "manual" push mop previously and use all the pads I bought for it with the Motion Mop.
