Sorry you are having problems. What cleaner are you using? I use Bruce which was recommend for our Pergo floors. ( kitchen and 2 bathrooms) We also have a oak hardwood entry. I have never had any issue of streaks. I can understand your frustration though- cleaning house is a never ending job and we like to get it done as quickly as possible! Good luck solving your problem!

I don't think the wipes make as big a difference as the cleaner used. Swiffer also makes a cleaner designed for hardwood floors.

I always make the assumption with wood floors that they have polyurethane for sealing and any waxing that needs to be done - I did myself. The Swiffer product really is more for general maintenance then it is for FULL cleaning of the wood floors. When I wanted my floors done fully I would buy the BRUCE HARDWOOD floor product available for a Home Depot or Lowe's. Then, in between cleanings and on a regular basis, I would use the Swiffer WetJet Wood Product for dust and general cleaning.

These are used over a Bruce mop for hardwood floors. They are nearly impossible to find in stores.

I was disappointed. They do not CLEAN hardwood floors. When you spray the floor with hardwood floor cleaner and use the terry mop cover it does not pick up the dirt on the hardwood floor, it just goes over the dirt. I can use a 'true terry towel' and spray the floor after using the Bruce Terry Mop covers and pick up the real dirt. The towel is black with dirt. I have an old terry mop cover but cannot find a replacement that is equal and does the job.

No, My new machine is not leaving streaks but my old one was leaving some along the outside edge of the clay. I have some scrap white clay that I use to clean my machine and run it up against the edge of the machine. I hope this helps and yes the older machine leaves marks but not really bad. i cut it off.

We had a problem with red streaks down our print outs with our Brother HN-4070CDW. It was a toner cartridge problem. Replacing the magenta cartridge solved the problem. This printer uses the same cartridges and so likely there was a bad batch. Brother sent us a new magenta cartridge for free after I spent an hour on the phone with tech support trying to solve the problem.

I have Pergo floors and bought these to keep my sectional together. They did not do so, but they did keep the floors from getting scratched

I use these myself for wood floors. I just use Murphy's oil soap spray that I made up instead of the Swiffer cleaner.

that is why people use the available "socks" made for the hose. It helps with marks and drag marks on hardwood floors. We have them our hoses.

The Handi Wipes are "very thin." If you use a couple of them, I think this would meet your need. You might try washing the Handi Wipes after use and reuse them...I am getting 2-3 times the use out of them for cleaning and polishing furniture. Good luck!

These pads where made for the original Shark steam mop. I bought the pads and gave the mop to a friend with all hardwood floors. I never liked that I had to wash them, anyway. I now have the new Shark steam mop that uses disposable pads, as well. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful. Go on the Shark website and call the consumer help line. I am sure you will find your answer there.

I originally ordered them for a tile floor - the tile was textured and, of course, there were grout lines to deal with. They worked fine. I would think they would work well on scraped hardwood

I have been using them directly on my wood floor and had no trace and no sign of damage on my floor. Just wanted to share this experience.

I have sealed hardwood floors and it did a great job and did not damage them at all and I had to let the steam sit a bit as I was cleaning dried cat vomit (he did it in the night and we did not find it right away). I cleaned them with the steam mop and then gave them a quick polish with Bona and a microfiber mop they looked just like new!
