I have a Bruce Hardwood Laminate Floor and want to use the irobot Scooba to clean the floor. Is it safe?
No. If water finds its way between the planks it will be absorbed into the core of the laminate and swelling will occur. In some cases if caught early enough and the planks are taken apart and allowed to dry they will go back to there normal size, this is rare. Usually if you read the manufacturers instructions for your cleaning machine it will say only use on a sealed hardwood floor, that means a floor where the raw wood was installed and then the finish applied. there is a lot less risk of damage from water with this type of flooring.
They are suppose to be hardwood floor safe but maybe you should call the manurfacturer and make sure
