I have laminate flooring & this is the first cleaner of this type I've used to clean it. I add 2 capfuls of the 2x Multi-Floor cleaner & this little unit really scrubs away the dirt & grime. I live in N. VT. and the snow/salt/mud get tracked into the house everyday. This Hoover has been able to scrub away the dirt & mud pretty well. I also use the "clean boost" function to get at the really tough stuff & it seems to get it well. I have no complaints and am very glad I bought this.
