I plan to use this machine inside, will it leave a residue on furniture or other things?

I think it may on a tile type floor (May make it slippery) but not 100% sure. I've only used it outside.

It did not leave any residue on furniture or anything in my house. I used it for about 3 hours, and then it stopped working unfortunately.

Nah... I have COMPLETELY fogged out the inside of my house to no ill effect. Unless you count a few freaked out dogs. I didn't keep smoking it out all night long or anything but I pumped out enough fog that I couldn't see more than 2ft in front of my face. No residue... I used it for about 5 hours strait last halloween and his out in the fog bank on the front porch. Worked like a charm. Someone from the road called the fire dept. They laughed it off.

No, I would not do it. It has chemicals and it's kinda smelly. Plus, you have to be sure it will not drip on a floor (otherwise it will discolorate it). Plus, I still had to sand paper my bench a bit). Plus, at the end I just washed all that chemical off with a hose (can you do that wiht the indoor furniture? not sure). The water from the wash off came out soapy... So, to answer your question: I would not use it on the indoor furniture. No.

Yes you can. If you have really hard water you will get a white film on your furniture. Even with the demineralization cartridge I have a white film on my furniture, but we do have very hard water. I still have to clean the dang thing.

I keep mine inside but haven't noticed any slimy residue. I do need to rinse it out every once in awhile. I would recommend this though.

Yes, you can clean it with furniture polish, as suggested by a site online. Or, as I have done as well, I washed it down with a damp cloth with a little cleaner. I like Mr. Clean with Febreze. Hope this helps.

as long as the item you are cleaning could get wet and take some heat from the steam it should work fine. most of my cleaning has been on the grout lines on the floor but it hasnt messed up my shoemolding on the baseboard even though it is painted wood. the machine really isnt a cleaner by itself. it provides hot steam to cut through the gunky stuff that accummilates in areas that dont usually get wiped clean.

Easy for me to keep clean, but no kids in the house here! I would be very careful about what you use to clean, though; strong solvents will destroy bonded leather, which I assume this is. I assume everything is, after destroying my sofa with the wrong cleaning product! Be gentle!

I grind mine at home/work and run it through my French press. There is some oil, but I don't think it would be enough to damage your machine.

No, I believe the instructions say to only use water. My fear would be it could damage the metal parts in this machine. I basically use it to clean my bathrooms tile gout, showers places where water builds up and leaves stains. I have not used it to clean furniture but that is a great idea. I do think it would be better to steam the furniture with just water and then spray something on it after.

I have not had any trouble. I use a good furniture polish several times a week to keep any liquid from going into the finish. It beads up the liquid for easy wipe up.

Depending on the surface, it will most likely leave residue. A rag with some mineral spirits or paint thinner will easily remove the residue however.

Yes. It will damage the floor. Not significantly but it would damage the floor.

This is a heavy machine and somewhat awkward to move. Normally, it's very quiet but since I don't know how old or what shape your home is in, there's no way to know if it would damage anything. I don't think anyone could answer specifically.

It has not left a residue on any of my furniture but I have also never heard of that happening,

I will not recommend use on furniture, some of the ingredients can damage the finish of varnished wood.

Not really - but I clean it by spritzing w/ bleach pretty often so I haven't noticed much. The ONLY thing I didn't like was that it sat RIGHT flat on the counter and tended to get yucky when moisture got under it - so I bought 1/2 inch plastic furniture protector bumps (?) and glued them on as feet. It's worked PERFECTLY!!

Not when used on my floor, but if dusting furniture - a light amount I save for reuse.
