How are you attaching the laminate flooring to the walls ?

Assuming that you are caulking the corners and edges -
why not just put a tiny bead of caulk along the joints as well ?
Forget about protecting the whole surface - just the joints and edges.
Flooring was designed to be washed with water & mop ..
