Can you use a steam cleaner or mop on laminate flooring?
It is NOT recommended to use a steam cleaner on laminate flooring. Water and laminate do not mix, neither does water and hardwood. Ask these steam cleaning manufacturers if they will replace your floors when they get damaged!AnswerNEVER! AnswerNo!!!! Please don't do this. You will ruin your floor. Answerno, never. Steam cleaners and steam mops leave to much water on a laminate floor. I did, just once, and the floor now crackles all over whenever you step on it.It is best to consult the manufacturer of your floor, but I would be hesitant to try it. It is usually not recommended to use water to clean laminate flooring.
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 can laminate floor be installed over old laminate floor?
Firstly, you have to make sure the structural condition of the old laminate floor is sound. If it is not, then you would need to make repairs to ensure it is as solid as possible. You can easily damage your laminate floors by laying them on a weak foundation. You can either damage the board or the connecting joints. Once the old laminate floors are structurally sound, you can proceed with laying the new laminate floors as you would on any other flooring. Make sure you use the correct underlay. In this case, foam underlay would be suitable and it would be the most cost effective. Laminate flooring is the best option for rejuvenating a living space. It is cheap, easy to install and easy to maintain.
How do you flatten a soaked floor board. I put a plastic bowl of hot water on a laminate floor and its swollen and has a huge lump in it. How can I get rid of the lump?
In all probability you cannot. Laminate is made of MDF board and once it has been wet, it usually will not flatten out. MDF is made with extreme pressure to make it flat.
Can you use a steam mop to clean laminate floors?
I did, just once, and the floor now crackles all over whenever you step on it. No, never! - Edit - The warranty on most laminate floors will be voided if you use a steam mop on them. That being said, it really depends on the quality. Some very high quality laminate floors, like that used in commercial building can withstand it, but most low end laminate floors in residential building are very susceptible to water damage and should be treated carefully. If you insist on using a steam mop on laminate, only use one that allows you to trigger the steam on and off with a button at the handle and only use a short burst every once on a while to dampen the floor cloth. You are better off not using one at all though.
How hard is it to restain my hardwood floor?

What is the best floor cleaner?
There are multiple types of floor cleaners. It all depends on what type of flooring you have at your house. Each type of flooring has their own "best" brand. I would suggest looking online at the reviews once you know what type of flooring you have. Then follow it up with talking to people at different stores to get a collective opinion on which is the best brand.

Do it yourself terrazzo floor cleaning?
First off, you need to find a wax stripping product, one that is designed for terrazo floors. You can use that to clean the floor. Removing the wax isn't a big deal when you carefully follow the instructions. After that, use water to wash off the traces and residues of the wax-stripping product. You can dry the floor after that. Next, you can apply the terrazo floor sealer. This is a helpful step as doing that can help in protecting the unsightly stains. Once the sealer is applied you can let it to dry completely. Do not apply too much as one thin coat is enough to get the job done. It is important to keep the dust away from the flooring because the quality of dust can result in scratches. So you need to sweep the floor regularly using a dust map or a broom. Also, get a dust cleaner that has neutral pH. Along with a cleaner, combine 3 gallons of water. Apply the mixture on the floor and let it be there for a few minutes. Rinse the mixture and rinse the floor until there are no map lines seen. Once the floor is mopped entirely, prepare the buffing machine and then use it on the floor.
