How do we clean our area rug that is on a laminate floor?

We understand we need to clean liquids up immediately when spilled on laminate floors because it will seep between the boards causing them to swell and rise. Regular steam cleaning of a rug would surely get water on the laminate floor so how do we clean it? That ”dry clean” type of cleaning didn’t get it clean.
I do mine on either my garage floor or the concrete apron of the driveway on a nice sunny day and it dries real quick. I have also done clients on decks, or even kitchen floors - whereever it won't damage the floor.
If your going to use the dry stuff, Resolve does the best job with their soft carpet brush.
you have to take it outside or in a room where is a floor that the steamer will not harm.
We put down a large blue tarp (plastic} and rolled the rug back out on it. Used our home carpet cleaner and within a few hours it was completely dry and looked great. Yours might take a little longer because it looks a little thicker. Spot clean with Resolve (it is a foam in a can) ahead of using the carpet cleaner.
A tarp! Great idea that we hadn’t even thought of....also the heads-up about pretreating w/ Resolve. Huge THANK YOU!
I use Woolite High Traffic Spray. I rub the foam into the carpet fibers using a moist sponge mop. When dry, it gets a good vacuuming.
use Beekman's carpet and rug cleaner. You can find it on HSN or EVINE.COM.
