A swell is a large wave generated by gravitational force (the moon) or some other physical interaction with the water (boats, storms etc) and are 'rolling' waves; they travel through the body of the water, sometimes over great distances. Chop is the surface disturbance of the water by wind; these waves are small, frequent and erratic.

Can you use steam cleaner on pergo floor?
Steam cleaners are not recommended for Pergo or laminate floors because regular use will cause the substrate to swell as moisture gets between the seams. This can cause the flooring to buckle and come apart. Steam can be worse than regular mopping this way, because it is more permeable, and can get down between the cracks and into the substrate. Some people still believe, since steam cleaners use less and evaporate quicker, that steam cleaning is safer than cleaning with a bucket-and-mop. While it can depend on how hot your cleaner gets and how much moisture it puts out, and if your seams are only on the perimeter, in the long term it is inadvisable to steam-clean laminate floors.
