those who have laminate floors

We just got laminate floors put in our den. There is concrete slab underneath them. THey are the single strip planks and are 12 mm thick. Is it okay if I put my treadmill ontop of them??? Also, what do you clean yours with?

I'm sure the tredmill will be fine on it.

I clean mine with the swiffer wet jet.

That should be fine, just put a yoga mat or something underneath it. Ours is on a concrete slab too and we have some really heavy furniture!

As for cleaning, we use laminate wood floor cleaner in a spray bottle and a swiffer-like mop. We also got a small chargeable vacuum to suck up the dust and cat hair before mopping.

We have the same thing in our "gym." We just put a flooring that kind of looks like a mat down first. We got it at Sports Authority.

Re: those who have laminate floors

I think it should be fine if you put some kind of mat or left over carpet under it.

I use the Swiffer wet jet on ours after vacuuming up the crumbs first.

It will be fine. We clean ours with water and a small amount of vinegar. We also have a slab floor.

Should be okay-I would put a mat down.

We clean ours with a mop and a cleaner I pick up at walmart for "all floors".

Re: those who have laminate floors

I think it would be fine also as long as you use a mat to absorb the shock. I use swiffer dry and wet pads. When the floors are really dirty, I use the Method wood cleaner with the dry swiffer pad.
