Can you use a Shark Steam cleaner on laminate flooring?
Yes you can. I personally own a Shark Professional Steam Pocket Mop and it works great on my Laminate and Tile. It leaves it dry and streak free. I like it because it doesn't directly put water on my laminate causing it to make bumps in my floor like my mop used to do. Here is a great article on how to clean your Laminate flooring and it's the reason why I ended up getting the steam mop that I did.

Can you use Mop n Glo or Future non wax cleaner on wood laminate flooring?
yes I would NOT use that on a laminate floor. You can buy special cleaners for laminate floors, or make your own. Also, Swiffer Wet Jet has cleaner that is safe for laminate floors, but you have to buy the mop that goes with it that takes batteries. Try to find a cheaper applicator, such as a terry cloth covered mop that you can find in a Dollar General Store, and I use distilled water, white vinegar, and alcohol in distilled water. 2/3 water and equal parts of vinegar and alcohol. Do not get the floor too wet. My best advice is to use a special cleaner. I think Wal-mart has a gallon of it for a reasonable price, close to the hardware department. Good Luck. The basic cleaning fact with laminate is...not a lot of liquid and something that doesn't leave a film. What's in the expensive laminate cleaner bottles? Window cleaner! Windex or store brand, it's water, ammonia and alcohol....Spray and go over with a slightly (very slightly) damp sponge mop.
Laminate Flooring Makes a Dramatic Statement?
Bring new life and energy into your home just by changing your flooring. Look down and take a moment to evaluate the condition and look of your floors. Your floor is the foundation for all of the other decorative elements in your home and if your floors are not in good shape, nothing in your home will look its best. Laminate flooring is a very popular choice for homeowners who want the look of hardwood or ceramic flooring without having to spend a lot of money. People also prefer laminate because it does not take them as much effort to maintain the floors relative to some other choices. However, possibly the biggest advantage most people experience with laminate floors is that they are easy to install. Manufacturers use an interlocking system for laminate floors, and that means that the floor tiles or planks attach to one another. In contrast, you attach ceramic tiles and many hardwoods to a subfloor. Laminate uses a tongue and groove system to make it simpler to install. Homeowners can install their new laminate flooring over almost any type of floor that they may currently have in their homes. The only requirement is that they use an underlayment. Underlayment is a soft material that you lay down underneath the laminate planks or tiles. In addition to moisture control, the purpose of the underlayment is to provide a cushion between the laminate flooring and what lies beneath it. Underlayment is also useful for controlling sound. Since the floor is essentially floating, there is a chance that walking on it will produce a hollow sound. Using underlayment solves that problem. Before you can install any laminate flooring in your home, you must let it acclimate for 48 hours in the same room where you will install the flooring. Be sure to remove any plastic wrap from around the flooring so that the air can reach the planks. Try to purchase an additional 10% more flooring than you expect to use for your flooring, to account for measurement or cutting errors. Work at your own pace and soon you will enhance the look and feel of your home.
What are the pros and cons of using laminate versus wood flooring?
I would not recommend real wood flooring for a kitchen. You are better off using tiles. Real wood flooring can decay faster if you spill something on it. With laminate flooring you don't have to worry about that. However, wood flooring does look nicer. I would go with tile flooring for a kitchen and wood flooring for other rooms.
