Is it OK to steam clean a laminate floor?

In short, not really. Although laminate floor is water water-resistant, it has an inner core which can be damaged by excessive moisture and intense heat. An occasional quick clean won’t hurt too much, but could eventually cause the floor tiles to warped come loose.

Our advice is to avoid steam cleaning, even if the steam cleaner claims it’s suitable for laminate floor. Use a lightly damp mop instead, and never over saturate the floor.
