Using a steam cleaner on a laminate floor is not advisable. Laminate is made with MDF board and moisture and MDF are not a good mix. Check with your flooring manufacturer if you are still wanting to use a steam cleaner. Pergo, Dupont, Bruce, Armstrong, and other major brands all advice NEVER using steam to clean their product. Additionally, they void warranties when damage is cause because of its use.
