Can this new pad with Mr.Clean be used on hard wood floors ? I have used the Mr. Clean sponge on stained wood molding and it took off the finish !

The mister clean part is only a slightly more heavy duty part of the pad. I do not think it would create the same issue as the sponge which is meant to be highly but gently abrasive, this is not. Make sure you are using the liquid for wood floors though. IMO based upon my experience these should not be an issue, but I have tile and can not really say for sure what affect they will have.

I have used it on my wood floors without any issue. My wood floors have a couple coats of polyurethane to protect the wood.

I didn't use it to remove old wax because I didn't want to strip everything off these 140 yr old pine floors. Lundmark wax floor cleaner has turpentine mixed with wax so it cleans the prior wax rather than remove it. I think you would have to use pure turpentine (very smelly but very effective) or mineral spirits (oderless but less effective) if you really want to strip the old wax off. This product is very good at cleaning and you just might find that you don't have to strip off that old wax....just give it a good cleaning.

I usually use a hardwood vaccum cleaner and clean first and then wipe down the floors with scotch-brite mop and haven't noticed such a problem. Did you wash the pad before using it first?

It removed the polish that was caked on my beautiful bamboo floors. I found that using it full strength in a very small area works the best. I had to apply the remover with mop pad and constantly keep it wet for it to work! It is the only thing that worked for my floors.

Bona is made especially for hard wood floors. I'm sure it wouldn't hurt tile floors but I think it's a more expensive way to clean tile floors. I would use either swifter wet mop for the tile or there is a Magic Eraser mops that you use without any detergent. Or you can use just a sponge mop with something like Spic and Span or Mr. Clean. Hope that helps.

My dog horked on a tile floor which discolored the grout (1/3"). The Shark Steam pocket mop cleaned it up great! I removed the mop head and used the steam directly on the grout. I don't recommend it unless you're extremely careful, after all it is steam, VERY VERY HOT.

A late answer to an old question but I need to emphasize DO NOT use a steam mop on any wood flooring that has any wax, floor shine or cleaner applied to it. I only use our steam mop on tile (and no it does NOT clean the grout.)

If you want something to clean the hard floor, it would be best to try a machine like the swiffer wet jet or swiffer vac. This machine is made for carpeted floors, its not for wood or vinyl flooring. I've never come across a machine that will actually wash both. There are sine steamer cleaners for hard floors that I have been interested in getting but aren't a priority to me personally.

I have found that the safest way to clean my Bamboo Wooden floors is with water. A little Murphy's Oil Soap in the water if there is a lot of soil. The Swiffer Wood starter kit applied too much cleaner and there were streaks on the floor. Rely on the manufacturer regarding laminate floors.

I think it will work fine. I think cleaning the applicator pad after use just removes any dirt particles trapped in the pad. Cleaning it is best, but unless your floors are really dirty, it probably doesn't hurt much not to clean it. Of course, you can clean it later, even after it has dried. I think it will be fine that way.

The pads Velcro to the bottom of the steamer. I always use the pads on hard floors. There is an attachment for using it padless on carpets, but I have only used it on hardwood/laminate.

Did you ever get an answer on how the Tempo works on hard wood? I'd love to hear as that's all I have. From the reviews it sounds like a great and reasonably priced vacuum, but it seems to have mixed reviews on the question of bare floors. Thanks very much!

I would not use Swiffer Wet Jet on ANY type of wood floor. It leaves a horrible smeary coating that is impossible to remove. I have mopped with hot water, Bona floor cleaner and finally had to use mineral spirits on a rag to get it off. Now my floors look dull! Don't do it!

I have not tried this one on carpet yet, it may do a minor cleaning with the pad in the carpet glider, my old one (another brand) had the carpet glider and did somewhat freshen but did not clean as it had no pad to go in the glider. Hope this helps at least a bit. But love the steamer!

This is the hard floor solution that is used in the Hoover FloorMate to scrub your sealed hard flooring. This is designed for hard floors only. When you're stubbing your carpet, use the Hoover carpet cleaning formula in the Hoover Steamvac

It works great with dog hair on our concrete and hardwood floors BUT we use the dry swiffer pads instead of the microfiber cloths. The swiffer pads actually capture the dirt & dog hair, not just push it around. We use it every day and love it!

It works on all types of floors; from my bathroom tiles to kitchen lino, my various types rugs (berber, plush and throw rugs here and there. A very high pile depth might not be cleaned to the bottom but I don't have that thick a carpet. Definitely yes to wood and hard floors. I love it (he is my Robbie.)
