Lakeland steam mop, OK on laminate?

My Lakeland steam mop has arrived and I am in love! The kitchen and bathroom floors are so clean you could eat your supper on them.

But have some God awful laminate in the hall (it was cheap and practical) wondering whether it would be OK to do that or if the hot temperature would warped it.

don't do it... for the love of god, it will warp, the edges will curl and you will feel like you are rambling everytime you attempt to hike through the hall [bitter experience emotcion]

Really? I was considering getting one. Our living room is laminate (hate it - rented though).

'fraid so! i thought that the steam would evaporate quicker etc etc, sadly it would seem that steam permeates the particle board better than water Sad and i'm the type who only clean on the rare occasion that the rellies visit, but it died a slow and painful death with only a few steamings.

Can you use it on a wooden floor?

reallywoundup · 23/02/2011 23:35

If it's sealed wood I believe you'd be ok- but google it first!

I was trying to earwig in Lakeland today about this mop. A customer asked about wooden floors and the assistant wnet a bit quiet. So, what to conclude? How is it with Amtico stuff? In fact, are they only ok with tiles?

I've got one from there it's called light'n'easy or something and I use it on laminate. SIL says it's good quality laminate. I never even checked if I could use it or not to be honest.
