Laminate floors have glue holding them together. The steam may cause it to loosen. Use a mop and water on the floor instead.

Some one painted shellac on the floor to make it shine Now full of flaking and scratches How do you refinish a laminate floor?

You can't refinish it. Laminate is a form of plastic. I'm sorry to say, but your floor is probably ruined beyond repair. You can try to remove the shellac, but be prepared to tear out the floor instead and replace if this doesn't work. I'd try a bit of citrus-based stripper on an inconspicuous area (closet?) - it will easily remove the shellac, but might damage the finish on the floor. (Can't be any worse than what you have now, right?) The citrus-based strippers work just as effectively as harsher chemical strippers, but seem to cause less damage to other materials. I've used it successfully to remove stain and polyurethane from vinyl windows, with no damage. Once done, clean the floor well with a laminate floor cleaner or window cleaner.

How do you clean laminate wood floors?

Laminate floors are made with recyled hardwood, so you should treat them like hardwood floors. Any regular hardwood cleaning product should work. In particular, Bona is a great product, but there are many others. For both laminate and hardwood, I would avoid products with oil or wax in the name or that promote a shiny finish. These products have wax which will wear down the finish and damage your floors in the long run.

Cleaning Your Laminate Floors?

Your laminate flooring makes a beautiful addition to your home and you need to maintain it in order to protect your investment. Clean your laminate flooring by using a dry mop, broom or vacuum cleaner to remove all the heavy dirt, dust and hair. Then use a steam mop or slightly damp cloth to clean and sanitize your floor and make it shine. Avoid using a traditional mop because this will leave too much water and cause your floor to swell and buckle. Avoid using any chemicals on your floor as this will destroy the floor's protective finish.
