can I safely use on laminate floors?

Personally I wouldn't use the wood cleaner on laminate flooring. I would use the Swiffer WetJet Multi Purpose Solution instead.

I have found that the safest way to clean my Bamboo Wooden floors is with water. A little Murphy's Oil Soap in the water if there is a lot of soil. The Swiffer Wood starter kit applied too much cleaner and there were streaks on the floor. Rely on the manufacturer regarding laminate floors.

I don't think I would risk it on laminate. It gets both too hot and too wet.

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

I don't think I would. Laminate floors don't seem all that solid to me. I mean, they're made out of what? Compressed paper? I use this machine on a painted cement floor and it works well for that.

It says no to use on laminate floors. I have a small bathroom with laminate and I use it there. It is small so I am not worried about the small spot. I use it for all the other floors and I felt I am not using 2 different cleaners.

I have them on the bottom of rugs on laminate flooring and there is no damage. Granted, they don't work at all for rugs. But I don't believe it will damage the flooring at all, even when used with something heavier than a rug...

Yes, it works ok on laminate wood flooring. Just be sure to spin it out REALLY WELL!

Yes. Good for laminate floor. New B & D is lot better compare to SM 1620 model.

Hi. I use it on my wood floors and they turn out nicely without damage. I'm not sure about laminate though. You may want to contact the manufacturer of the flooring to get their expert opinion. If it were a Shark I'd say "go for it," but the Haan does get much hotter than most, so you're wise doing your research. Strictly my opinion, but I believe it will probably be fine. I'm sure it also depends on the quality of the laminate. I wish I had a more definite answer for you.

Not sure since I don't have laminate. But wirjs great in tile, therefore would assume it would work great on laminate.

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

Yes. I use it all the time on my laminate floor. But it dies leave a slight residue and I suggest leaving it on for a day or two to let the enzymes to digest to urine then wipe up the residue and it has not damaged the floor. I have had great success with this product. Good luck!!

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've used it on my hardwood floors and I didn't have a problem but I think it might depend on what kind of hardwood you have or whether you actually have laminate (and how hard/soft the wood is). I used it on Bamboo and solid Oak and there weren't any problems.

I use my Oreck steamer of my laminate floors every week. Be sure us use distilled water and use the steamer on its lowest setting. I spray bona cleaner as I steam the floors.

Not sure about laminate floor. I had it on carpet, but it is now on a hardwood floor and it's fine there. Only thing I can think of that might be a problem is it could discolor the floor if on the floor for a long time. But not sure.

Yes you can use it on laminate & yes it can be slippery. If you use a lot on the duster, the first few swipes can be slippery unless you go over it several times.
