Goof Off will remove almost any glue, including super glue types from laminate and hardwood flooring. Just rub with a rag and a few drops of Goof Off and the glue soon softens and can be peeled off. This has not harmed 3 different types of flooring that I've tested it on.
Rub it with a rough rag dipped in Goof Off, it will soon soften enough to peel it off.
It is estimated that a laminate floor can last up to 20 years, before it needs replacing.
Yes. You should use a good quality underlay with it though to reduce the noise of the laminate knocking on the tiles.
The floors themselves install in a very similar fashion. If you want a floor with a lot of shine, you will want to go with hardwood. If cost is an issue, laminate.
no, never. Steam cleaners and steam mops leave to much water on a laminate floor.
No. You have to glue your linoleum on the hard surface, but Laminate is a floating floor and always move.

Try acetone.
Yes. Apply pressure against it until the glue sets. For the floor just glue it down.
Yes, you can.
Remove the laminate floor first
Melt it with Goof Off.
You should not buff a laminate floor.
Laminate floor cannot be refinished. It will have to be replaced. Hardwood flooring can be refinished.
No, laminate is floating type of floor installed over an insulation pad. Hardwood floor has to be nailed, stapled or glued to the subfloor. If you do manage to install hardwood on top of laminate sooner or later your Laminate floor will expand due to high temperature or humidity and it will create gaps between hardwood planks.
Try the Magic Eraser. Great for getting scuff marks off base boards; it might work on laminate floor as well. -- Carol Cleanicity, Founder
Laminate floors have glue holding them together. The steam may cause it to loosen. Use a mop and water on the floor instead.
