light spray of plastic friendly cleaner, scrub with a white or red pad under your 175 and buff off the mess with a cotton bonnet.
Work in small 100 footish areas so you don't soak the floor and let water into the seams.

Neutral pH floor cleaner
free rinsing moderate ph carpet prespray
Every supplier here sells something that will work.

Hardwood and laminate are mutually exclusive. If it is laminate then it can not be hardwood.
Most laminate has pretty durable wear layer unless it has gotten a lot of use and physically been worn off. The wear layer is hardened with aluminum dioxide.
I suggest cleaning with Bridgepoint's Wood Fresh floor cleaner. Use a cotton or microfiber bonnet under a 175 RPM floor machine. You can make a second pass with just damp bonnet for rinsing. A white pad can also be used. A red pad will be OK for really nasty floors, but usually not required. I like the bonnets because they absorb the soil and spend cleaning solution better than a floor pad.
