Do any of you use this mop on laminate floors. I am getting different opinions on how to clean my new floor and now I am scared! Help please?

My kitchen floor is plain old linoleum. I was VERY disappointed with this mop. It doesn't wring out dry enough to make difference on the floor. All you are left with is VERY wet floor.

I would not use this mop on any wood floor. I have sheet vinyl and ceramic tile floors. It soaked the floors badly even after thoroughly wringing it out. I had to use an old towel to mop up the excess water. I used the mop one time and threw it away.

I have only had mine for a month. I hope it will last a long time. In the month I have had it, I have used it 4 times. It works better than any mop I have ever had. I had no problem putting it together, & it is picking up the hair & dust really well. I have to say that I am very satisfied. Also, the foot pedal is an important reason why I bought it. I can not wring out a mop. This foot pedal does it all for me. I am very happy with mine. God bless you all.

I don't recall what the directions said about laminate flooring, however the microfiber pads are really soft. I believe the only way it would scratch you floor is if there was something abrasive already on it not from the mop. In addition the mist is really fine so it should over-saturate your floor while cleaning it.

Per the manufacture's instructions I would not use it on laminate floors. Steam is not good for them. I don't know if the cleaner would harm the Shark steam mop.

I have the same question. I have read the reviews and a couple say they have used it on laminate floors. I would like to know for sure before purchasing one. Does anyone know for sure?

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.

I had to go over it with the steam only to get rid of the sticky tile floor i woud never use this on y hard wood too much water

My guess is if I can use them on my hardwood floors you could use them on laminate. I use the "mop" setting so it doesn't over steam and the come clean. Hope this helps..........somewhat. So far this was the best steam mop I found and had been through 2 others that I literally threw away. What I like best about this one is it has 3 different settings. I use the "scrub" on my bathroom tile floors.

I am sure about using the steam mop on bamboo flooring. I haved use on both laminent and hardwood floors and have had no problem.

I am wondering the same question. This mop is horrible. After I step the foot pedal like 10 times, mop head is still dripping when I squeeze with my hands. It leaves streaks marks and floor takes forever to get dry.

I have floating wood floors, It is pretty much like any other mop. I wish it was a bit thicker tho.

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 does not wring out dry at all. I twisted it and still had to try and squeeze the water out. I definitely would not recommend the mop for laminate floors. I would not recommend this mop for any floor.

You can use it on laminate floors but just make sure you spray the mop not the floor. If you put too much without spreading it well it can be slippery . I do use it on my laminate floors and it leaves a beautiful shine.

the same pad I use for the floors. Actuality I have multiple pads. Use one for the floors, another for windows, etc.I wash the bathroom walls - tile, all the time. This is the best mop that I ever had. Actuality it was my husband that purchased the mop and he NEVER buys anything that does not make sense to him and this did. The mop is flexible and slim - it gets everywhere and under everithing

It does not leave a film on hardwood floors so I don't think it would leave a film on laminated floors. You still have to vacuum or sweep. Then you just apply a light spray and mop
