Cleaning a laminate floor - can I use my Dyson...

..on the hard floor setting, or will it scratch it? Its a DCO7, if that makes any difference.

New floor, and I'm terrified of damaging it!

I do, but I am really careful! It's alot easier than sweeping!!

I always hoover my lamintate flooring with a Dyson. They haven;t been any problems.
Maybe try and small are first just to make sure?

Even better are those swiffer type cloths that pick up the dust, work really well on hard floors.

Lol at me being on a good housekeeping thread!!!!

I use my dyson, with the brush on, says it's for hard floors.

It doesn't pick up everything though! I have to go around afterwards with my laminate floor mop (dry) so if you're really worried, you could just get one of those!

I do - on hard floor setting - no problems yet. BUT always remember to change the setting as someone hoovered my floor without changing it and one area has got tiny scratches.

You can get an attachment for hard floor cleaning too off the website. I find that is a bit easier to use than trying to manoeuvre the dyson around without scratching the floor; although mine is supposed to be for hard floors too!

I usually go over it with the swiffery type thing too

Thank you. I will run the risk.

The fitter said to use a dry mop, but that won't get up all the dog hair and bobbly bits that fall off the dog's ears.

Seriously the swiffer/mop thing picks up everything (or pushes it into a nice pile) and you can take the head off and washing machine it.

(not really, I just like them)

I love my vileda AND they replaced my previous one for free when the head fell off

You need to remove the dirt either with a vacuum with brush, dust mop, etc - www.cityscape-bliss.com/2016/12/diy-laminate-floor-cleaner.html
