Can you spray the steam out on the floor

This thing is awesome. The steam comes directly onto the the pad of the mop. Highly recommend this product!

Steam automatically goes onto the floor when you are using the Shark. If you want only steam, then you could you the life away part and use the nozzle and put steam where you want it but you would have to wipe the floor after as it would be wet.

Yes, steam is safe to use on sealed hardwood floors. Always check with your flooring manufacturer before use. Vacuuming and/or sweeping is recommended before use of your steam cleaner.

Greetings from GoVacuum, We are a very large distributor for this product, and I do get this questions very frequently. I have called Reliable and asked them about why the machine still leaves the floor wet. What they told me was that there is no need to continuously hold the steam trigger down while you are mopping your floors. They tell me that once the pad is wet, the pad will already be hot from the steam, and you should use the steam sparingly. I have tried this techniqe and found that the machine will still clean very well without be trigger happy, and leaves the floors substantially dryer when I'm finished. The best technique I found is to pull the trigger, let the steam accumulate on the pad for approximately 30 seconds, and then begin mopping. I can usually mop a 25 square foot section before I have to release more steam.

No. It leaves my floor hot and steamy. Sometimes there are small spots of damp left behind, but they're dry within moments.

I think in a steam mop you should only add distilled water. This is concentrated and needs to be mixed with water and then you can put it on the floor before you steam mop.

Mine didn't affect the floor because I couldn't achieve enough steam. I ended up returning it.

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.

I have no idea. The floor steamer would not work. I tried everything. All it did was leak water on the floor. Sorry

I would be scared to use on your floor, it puts steam tand would probably ruin the floor.

I used a brush on the floors that we did in our business, The house was in the historical district.I guess you could spray what ever you are doing.Sometime I use a rag and rag it on. Depends on the size of the project you are doing.

I don't think the floor underneath is affected....the bottom is made out of a plastic, so the steam doesn't go threw the bottom at all.

You probably could, but honestly wouldn't recommend The fuel cans do get quite hot, and you will get a moderate amount of soot that end up on your floors

Yes, it is only Steam. I add a little bit of white vinegar to clean and freshen my tile floors.

Be sure to use distilled water in the steam cleaner. Sometimes, depending on the cleaner you spray on the floor, it will film or streak on hardwood. If you add cleaner to the distilled water, it could mess up the system

Yes, you have to keep the steam button depressed to activate. It cleans well and I am happy with it in that regard but I get white areas on my brick red ceramic tile floor that I have yet to figure out how to deal with so I'm not using it as much as I'd like.

I would have to say yes. The sprayer has adjustable volumes for the paint. You may need to adjust the angle to get all of the nooks and crannys. Also overspray will probably be brutal due to gravity. Falling on you and the floor... Hope this helps

Of course, any steam mop will leave some moisture on the floor, but this one has three steam settings, so you can increase or decrease the amount of steam you get. I usually use the medium setting and have not had a problem with too much water on the floor, so my answer would be yes, it dries quickly.
