Laminate Flooring....

Do as the manufacturer recommends for installing and cleaning. Silicone will stop it from expanding and contracting properly. It could buckle. The chemicals in the silicone may cause de-lamination.

We've had ours for several years with no problems
except for a soup can making a nick in it and had to replace a piece.
We use a Swifer wet jet with the cleaner made for laminate flooring.
