Please can someone help me with the best steam cleaner that won't leave my laminate floor wet. Thanks

You can’t use a steam cleaner on laminate.
The steam gets through the joints and warps the laminate and the planks become uneven, the laminate top coat can even peel off.

I had a friend ignore this and use it. Ruined her floor. The company said the guarantee was invalid as it was damage, rather than a quality issue.

Many years ago my ds used to use a steam cleaner regularly on her kitchen floor. It ended up ruining the front of all her base unit doors too.

I have always used a steam cleaner on my laminate flooring in just fed up with the floor being wet after.
