Is it ok to mop my tile and wood floors after using the product?

I had such a bad problem with mites I waited a couple of weeks to mop my hardwood floors just to make sure. I just vacuumed and swept and spot cleaned the floors. After about two weeks of that I mopped the floors and crossed my fingers that none of the mites would come back and they didn't. Knockout is an amazing product.

Darcy, Yes, it is ok to clean as normal after the product has dried. Although I use the product after I have moped and vacuumed.

don't know ... we have only ever used Virbac on carpet ... I'd assume it would be safe, but would wait a few days to make sure it takes effect first

Mine was used on hardwood, vinyl, and stone. Unfortunately I had to send mine back after a few months because it quit working. Right now I'm just dampening a swiffer dry cloth and cleaning the floors with vinegar and water solution. Sorry, but I've gone through 2 brands of steamer mops, and think I'll just quit while I'm ahead.

I mainly use it on tile floors. When I do use on my hardwood floor (kitchen), I'm careful not to use an excess amount or have any pools of water. It is a wonderful product!

I have never had to wring out the mop pad. Our home has laminate floors as well as tile. I use a pad on the bathrooms then change to do the kitchen, dining, and living room. Compare it to a Swiffer but without the chemicals in the spray (I use a tablespoon of vinegar in almost a quart of water) and the pads are washable and reusable (as opposed to disposable and having to buy more every five or six moppings).

That is exactly how I use this product. The mop should not be wet - you can also use vinegar & water for almost the same results. What cannot be replaced is the mini wax restorer if you like shinny hardwoods.

I have ceramic tile in my kitchen & bathrooms & it seems to be cleaning the grout just fine. If you have something heavy just hit the trigger that gives you a big blast of steam. The more you hit the trigger the more water you use but it gets heavy grime up good especially on hard wood.

I used to use just the spray with the bona mop too, I have found that the built in cartridge is easier and more convenient for me. I definitely mop my floors more often! Just be careful not to spray too close to baseboards or furniture as the spray fans out a bit. Good luck!

The mop is the same but this liquid is for the hardwood so you would need an additional cartridge for the tile version

I have two mop heads, and spray them with the cleaner. When the mop head gets dirty, I put on a clean one. I do one small area at time, and then walk an old bath towel over the wet surface. That leaves the floor clean streak free, and almost dry. The cleaner itself does not leave streaks, but if the mop does not pick up all of the dirt, there will be streaks. It is not the fault of the cleaner.

You have to hold the trigger button to release the steam. One the trigger is released the the steam will stop. I have sealed hardwood floors and ceramic tile in my apartment and after I use the steam mop I pass the white sock test and my floors feel clean when I walk bare footed

Yes, I have a mixture of tile, carpet and hardwood floors - vacccum does a great job on all surfaces. Just remember to us lower suction on hardwood and tile.

In my opinion no. I have a Swiffer dust mop and I spray it on there and then apply it to my floors.

Yes. The mop wrings almost completely dry so it is safe on laminate or wood floors.

This is not a manufacturer answer but personally I wouldn't. To me unsealed plus water is not a good idea. I'm not sure what kind of floors you want to use it on but broom and damp mop sound like your best bet.

Truthfully I am not sure, because I have arthritis so if the mop head it truly saturated with water or whatever solution you are using it would depend on how strong your are in using the squeezing of the mop. From what I understand either hardwood or laminate floors you should not use water on the floor other than for a mild damp moping of it. You could use a spray bottle of water on the floor then go over it with the mop if that is what you want the mop for.

As long as you move fairly quickly and don't EVER let the steam mop sit in one spot too long then it's ok. If you have any stuck on grime that the mop won't clean after one pass then it's best to clean it by hand. The heat can become too intense for laminate flooring.

I believe this is only safe for finished floors. I would call a woodshop to see what you could use to clean your wood before finishing. Once you have finished your floor, I would recommend Bona to clean it. Good luck.
