Does this mop wring out dry enough to use it on sealed, hardwood floors?

I do use it on hardwood floors and it does wring out pretty well compared with other mops. Good luck

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.

I am sure it would mop a wood floor but I do not care for this mop at all. I wish I had not bought it. I used it once and will not be using it again.

I read that too before I purchased it and was a little leary, but I haven't any proablems. I have all hardwood floors and this mop spins out so dry that I can damp mop alot more often. I feel like the floors are much cleaner than just vacuuming. The mop heads rinse out so well I've not had to replace the first one.

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.

In my experience, you can spin the mop almost too dry. I have actually had to dip it back into the water because it dried out too much. You cannot go wrong with this mop. It is the best thing I have ever used for mopping floors. The only thing I am not totally in love with is the length of the handle. Even that is fixed now as an extension is available that makes it an ideal height for me at 5'5". There are also replacement mop heads available. I was able to mop my entire house in a very short time due to the convenience of this mop and how dry it left the floors. I'd give it 10 stars anyday!!!

It depends on the finish on your hardwood floors. We have a coat of polyurathane on ours that is quite old with bits of the real wood exposed. The steam mop didn't work on our floors because it "lifted" more of the polyurathane off the floors. I was not real pleased with this "newer" version of the Smart Living Mop. It doesn't work as well as the old one I had and I was unable to return it to the company. I'm stuck with it and will make the best of it but wouldn't recommend it. Good luck.

Yes. In fact, it does a superb job on hardwood floors. Most of my house is either hardwood or tile...only the bedrooms are low-cut carpet. This vacuum does great no matter what the surface is. Highly recommended!

Yes, it works fine on hardwood floors. I had to be careful around smaller rugs that weren't secure as the vac wanted to inhale them.

Yes, the mop has to be wet. I do not use it in a dispensing mop. I squirt it directly onto the floor and use the wet mop to clean the area.

I don't think so,the site says for sealed hardwoods. I just use it on vinyl floors. It's a nice steamer though.

Hea, I have some sealed hardwood floors and from time to time I ring the mop out a couple of times and use it as a moist dust mop and it works beautifully! I also have an enclosed porch with slate and grout floor and it also works great on it as well. I will tell you as others that when I bought the mop I bought an extra head so that each time I moped I could throw the dirty into the washing machine and wash it with my throw rugs. I love the mop! I hope this helps you.

I have both sealed and unsealed floors and has worked on both. I use every few months once the shine wears down. Now that I have sealed floors I prefer other products but this works particularly well on older style floors.

I haven't used it on my hardwood floors. only use the extension hoses on them when needed.

no, It is strictly for hard flooring. My cleaning lady is reluctant to use it on hardwood because of the amount of water it lays down.

Laminate is NOT sealed hardwood. You have small seams that the water vapor will get into. Please, please, please call your manufacture of the flooring and the steam mop and ask what they will do for you if the mop damages your floor. Likely at most replace the mop and the flooring manufacture likely voided your warranty the first time you steam mopped it. Even site finished hardwood a mop is not recommended. Your floor shrinks in low humidity which breaks the bonds between board in your floor. The vapor can and will work it's way into the floor in time and can cause the boards to warp. Please contact the manufacture or a hardwood expert for advice.

I have floating wood floors, It is pretty much like any other mop. I wish it was a bit thicker tho.

Yes! I didn't want to squirt it directly onto my wood floor, so I put 1/4 cup of Simply Floored in about a gallon of hot water in the mop bucket. It works great!
