I am wanting to use this as floor cleaner on our laminate &amp; terrazzo. Any good reasons why I shouldn't?

Other than this one is not concentrated and you will not get many uses out of the bottle, this would work great as a floor cleaner. Maybe try it as a spot cleaner before you want to invest in the spray for a total floor cleaner.

It is very safe to use on laminate. I believe this is the best there is. My floors gleam and I live in a condo. I turned the landlord on to this product and they love it. It is the best! I tried another product called Rejuvinate because I saw an advertisement on TV, but had to go back to Bona. The cleaner and the floor polish are great.

It will definitely clean and sanitize any floor surface, smooth or textured. It removed grunge from the textured vinyl floor in my laundry room that I didn't even realize was there. It also did a great job on my daughter's textured tile. But you don't say whether your "fake wood" floors are vinyl (planks?) or laminate. Flooring manufacturers offer "fake wood" looks in both materials (as well as tile). This mop will be fine on vinyl. However, from the research I have done, steam mops are not generally recommended for laminate or real wood floors unless they are sealed. Laminate floors are essentially like layers of pressed cardboard with a pretty fake wood-looking top layer. However, with that being said, if your laminate is not sealed, it probably depends on the quality of your laminate whether or not you can use the steam mop on it (and how often) without problems. Although my laminate has a high wear rating, it is not sealed so it is super-sensitive to water. The seams swell and bubble really easily if any water is left on it for very long. When I first got the Powerfresh mop, I tried it on my laminate at the lowest steam setting. I ran the mop very quickly, not allowing it to steam in one place, nor did I rest the wet mop head on my laminate when I stopped mopping. I didn't notice any problems but frankly I would be hesitant to steam my particular laminate very often. (I primarily bought the mop for the tile and vinyl floors I also have in my house.) Another thing I tried on my laminate was to allow the mop pad to get wet (but not soaked) with steam and then I turned the steam completely off and just damp mopped the laminate without actually steaming it. It still cleaned my floor really well but hopefully eliminates the risk of steam being forced into the seams. This was far easier than damp mopping with a traditional mop and I feel much more comfortable using this method on a more regular basis with my laminate. I would say if you have laminate, use a steam mop with caution, especially if it is not sealed.

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

Bona has a different cleaner that is for laminate floors. I think I would get that instead.

I just used it on our laminate wood floors. It cleaned up the residue from the old Swiffer Wet mop.

I had one years ago that I ran on my Laminate floors with no problems. The new one I have now runs on soft tile squares and still I have had no problems. Just make sure you keep the rollers clean of debris and you should love it.

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.

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

I've only used it on wood. The description says laminates so you should be fine. I have been very pleased with the results. Not perfect but far better on older worn floors.

Well is a special Bona for laminate flooring, and is excellent for remove shoes marks, and dirt. I really think is more expensive the Bona for wood, and I don't switch but I don't think is a problem if you want expend more money. The Bona products are so good I don't think you need use the steam mop. And I think is a bad idea use the Bona whit a Steam mop. Only to don't start an accident or make the life of the steam mop shorter. I use a steam mop in the past for wood, but really the Bona make a to much better work. My steam mop is in the trash.

I used it on my pergo laminate floor and it started to damage the floor after I use it for a year. I am kinna mad about this. I wouldn't use it on hardwood floor.

I'm not sure how it will work on laminate floors, but I have a feeling it might work. I would suggest that you try it on a very small area. I have only used it on my old wood floors and it does an amazing job!

It is only good for hardwood, laminate or tile floors. Not carpeting. I use distilled water.

I have tile, wood, and laminate flooring. I use these sniffers on all of them, and my floors look great. I didn't realize how much "yuck" can be on all floors until I began using swiffers. Hope this helps n your decisions.

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.
