Can I Use A Steam Mop On A Laminate Floor?

I am interested in purchasing one of those steam mop floor cleaners, but firstly I want to make sure that it is safe for my laminate flooring. I would just use water and not other chemicals in the mop.

      The use of steam on laminate often depends on the type of laminate and the quality of it. A high quality material will include guarantees in the packaging that ensures the laminate is water, heat and damage resistant. Cheaper laminate is prone to warping so if you don't know the quality of your laminate you may choose not to take the risk.

        Sure you can if the floor has been installed properly and there are no gaps between the joints, and just don't over do it the laminate has been sealed in the factory so the steam wont penetrate the finish ,but will go in between the cracks if any ,just don't over do it..

        Absolutely do not use a steam cleaner on your laminate floor. My floor is top of the line and installed by professionals. I used the Shark steam cleaner just three times and it lifted all my floor joints. Trying out just a small section is no help considering it took days to show the damage to my floor. I wanted a sanitized floor being that I have a baby and a small child. Now I have a ruined floor.

        I've used my Shark Steam mop at least 6 months on my laminate floor (purchased at Home Depot and installed by them) and I've had no warping at all.  I like the fact that it stops steaming when you don't push it so if you put it down to answer a phone it doesn't keep steaming in the same spot on your floor (which would probably warp it).  I've read that the Haan that keeps steaming and comes with a floor pad still steams through the pad and warps some floors.  Love my

        Hi, I was interested in what you had to say. I have a large kitchen and just put down laminate click and lock flooring. I was told by the company that installed the floor to only use the Bruce cleaner and mop. I would really like to use the Shark steam mop to get it really clean. Is your laminate a click and lock, otherwise known as floating floor or is it sealed some way?
        Thanks,
