I don't remember the advice on the packaging, but I wouldn't take a chance using the pad on a nice Pergo-type floor. In all the years I've kept house, I've never found anything better than a traditional string mop and bucket for cleaning floors--even though it requires more effort. Sorry nothing easier or more efficient has been invented!

It works well on laminate. The floor mate doesn't leave a lot of water behind so there are no issues.

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

I read on a similar post a person said do not use on the "stick it yourself laminate flooring". It was with a similar steam cleaner like this. It was ruined. I have regular laminate flooring, but it will peel up too. Be careful!

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.

Hi Eric- Yeah, it should not be a problem at all as there are no solvents to eat the laminate. I'd still be careful not to flood the area, but if it's already been flooded by a less pleasant liquid- what the hell- go for it. It won't damage your floor any more that it already has been.

While I have only used the Haan steam cleaner on tile, I referred to the owner's manual for you. It specifically states that it IS designed to safely clean laminate floors. I've been very happy with my results. Easy to use, quick to get going and pads are machine washable.

Yes. I have been using my steamer on laminate flooring for 3 years. No problems and much better than wet mopping because dries quickly. I recommend doing your laminate floors with a fresh pad and NEVER leave the steamer sitting in one place on the laminate floor with the unit running. The issue is not leaving any standing water which the steam does not if used correctly

Good afternoon, I used it on my laminate floors that has a matte finish and it worked fine but takes some real elbow grease to get the old wax up. The laminate I have are the lowest quality laminate the builder could install and it survived just fine. After trying this brand I went back to the original brand I purchased and ran out of. Armstrong® "New Beginning Resilient Deep Cleaning Floor Cleaner" It might not be a green product but it saves hours of time. Both are quality products but one of them takes less work.

Laminate floors are a wood product. I know that the manufacturer shows people using this steamer on wood floors, and I cringe every time. Wood does not like water, moisture, steam, or vapor. Water causes wood to swell and distort. People are going to say: I've done it, and I didn't have any problems. That's something like someone saying they have driven at over 100 miles per hour, and nothing happend to them that time so therefore it must be safe for everyone to drive over 100 miles per hour. Not all laminate floors are the same. Some are very high quality (Quick-Step, for instance) and are made from stranded wood impregnated with plastic at very high pressure. Many cheap imports are instead made from sawdust and glue, and you are going to have a problem with these. I have seen people have problems from just putting a damp towel (not wet, just damp) on a laminate floor, and it bubbled. So with that said, do you want to use a steamer on such a floor?

Yes. The mop wrings almost completely dry so it is safe on laminate or wood floors.

It is perfect for laminate floors. It has no spinning roller so it goes not scratch flooring. That is why i bought it.

I use it on Pergo all the time and have not seen any problems. I don't know the official answer but we been using it for over a year

If I remember correctly, it says for all floor types. I would not think that it would hurt laminate but I would NOT soak it and let it stand. I also would not use it one natural wood floors.

I use Bona laminate floor cleaner. It works beautifully. It is especially formulated for ceramic and laminate.
