Is it safe and effective on laminate flooring?

I have no idea. If you were reading my post I have only used it on kitchen linoleum and it worked great. It did take a little longer than 30 seconds to heat, maybe about a minute and I really could not tell that the energized spray was coming out until I started seeing the dirt disappear. It is nothing but steam and whatever is in that energized cleaning solution. My kitchen floor has not been this clean since I purchased my home. So far, so very good

I have used it on laminate floors with only only one problem and that was with a gouge from my piano. The laminate lifted a bit when I steamed it.

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'm not sure. I have engineered hardwood and I use it sparingly. You can control the steam but it still scares me to use it too much. Works wonderful on tile bathroom floors but I'm sure that doesn't help you.

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.

It does work well and yes, I have used it on laminate flooring in my kitchen and it worked well there too.

Most definitely... we have laminate throughout our home, and we use this throughout. The floors shine and there's no streaking. Not only does in clean well, but it leaves the room smelling fresh and clean as well. Just be sure to get all the water off the floor; that's why this system is ideal for laminates as they're not very tolerant of water.

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

I have used it on my laminate floors without any problems. Streak free. Windows you need to use a cloth to dry. Stainless steel appliances a total mess... I rather use special creams for that because if i got a lot of streaks. Over ceramic cooktops great.

I assume you're asking if this appliance can be used on laminate floors. Yes, but be sure to follow the instruction manual, as it provides information on proper use for different types of flooring, including laminate. This steam cleaner is different than any other I've owned in that you can actually control the amount of steam that comes out.

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

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.

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

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 not used it on anything but laminate floors. We have the Dura Grip under a heavy leather couch and love seat and have not any problems with the floor so far.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
