Is it safe on laminate floors?

The instructions say it works on wood floors. Shark makes a cleaner for wood floors that you use instead of the regular cleaner.

I have never used it on laminate but after reading everything on laminite floors because I recently had them installed, I wouldn't do it

We just used it on our laminate floors. Worked perfectly. We were careful to use the cleaning solution modestly and vacuum it up fully and immediately so that no water sat on the laminate. Put the machine on a hard surface when done in case water drips out of it.drips on your laminate floor.

Yes, I have laminate flooring and the steam evaporates very quickly, so floor is not left wet very long. I have had two of these steam mops and have never had any problems.

We believe some types of laminated floors are safe but it would be best if you check with the floor manufacturer. They can tell you if you can steam the laminate floor.

I would not use this on a laminated floor, however, the product states you can try it on surfaces that or out of the way and would be hidden from view. Personally, I would not use it for fear of having a spotted floor. Stringbean

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

There is a caution on laminate floors that reads "Water will drip from brushes and underside of the product after use and puddle. To avoid damage to laminate and wood flooring ---- remove to a hard surface and place unit on absorbent material". Sooooo I'd say it's okay. The machine does not put out a tremendous amount of cleaner, but I would be careful of how much is sitting on the laminate. Vacuum up right away.

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

I wouldnt use it on laminate flooring. It leaves the floor pretty wet after using. It does work great though. Its nice to have a steamer and sweeper in one.

I've only used it on carpet and rugs, where it works well. However, I see no reason why it couldn't be used on tile or laminate flooring.

Hi Marsha, yes the shark is safe for laminated floors as long as the floors are intact and there are no gouges or gaps in the floor.

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

No, and I had this same concern as well. The rubber treads on the wheels make it safe to use on hard wood floors.

Yes vacuum first. Yes it is safe for laminate floors. Just don't leave it too long. If you're doing large areas, it's good to change the pad so it won't be too saturated.
