do you have to strip floor first/

I did not strip the floors, I am guessing it depends what is on them. We used it on a polished concrete floor. Really really good results on an otherwise dismal finish. I highly recommend.

I did not need to strip my floors as they were new installs. However, I think it would probably be a good idea to do so IF you have already put other finish applications on them. This finish is high gloss & very durable. IF I were going to stip, I would use a steam cleaner on them rather than a "stripper" product so as to not leave any other product residues on the floors. I absolutely love this product. I applied it several months ago now, & still doesn't need to be re-applied.

You dont have to strip the floor first, however if you have a lot of wax build-up the new wax "may" not adhere as well as it could. I have used it over multiple layers with no problem yet.

yes. It's heavy duty tho. Might damage the floor underneath if not done correctly.

I also put the cleaner I use on the floor first and then steam clean. Saves money!

no it doesn't. i got 2 sheets of laminate flooring at lowes and put it in the bottom and just use a small squeegee to wipe it out. works pretty well for me

Yes. Bare floor is best but it also works fine on carpet as long as you don't expect it to do the same job as a vacuum. It's excellent as a quick clean up between proper cleaning!

You will need to order "attachments" separately. I ordered the starter kit. So far I've used everything in the kit with remarkable results. I've also ordered pads from 3M (red and white; come in packs of 5). I use the white pad (with Oreck's floor cleaner) to clean our laminate floors, followed by the terry buff pad or the "lambs wool" pad (another accessory). Recently I used the orange brush wheel to clean our tile floor (the grout was pretty "grungy"), looks like it was newly installed when I finished. I've also had excellent results with the carpet soil lifter, dry cleaner and black brush (results I was previously unable to accomplish with other carpet cleaners).

No it does not require putting holes in floor or ceiling. You tighten in so that it's pressing against both. It has anti-slip pads on top and bottom. FYI, be sure the height of your ceiling matches the default length it comes with. If your ceiling is taller, you will need to order an extension as well. Have fun :)

No. You need a floor buffer with a special pad designed for marble in order for this product to work.

No. The material is similar to carpet and stapled on to the platform. To clean you could use resolve spot clean.

Yes with a long blade. The blade will bend to be flush or almost flush with the floor. Depending on pipe metal or plastic you can use a belt sander with a heavy grit sanding belt and make it flush. Of course not if the floor is already finished

Depends on how dirty your floor is - I do tend to rinse and reuse. If it is a room I mop a lot, not big, or doesn't have much foot traffic, I don't need to rinse.

Depends on the type of floor your cleaning. If its plush carpet like mind, you might have to roll it back and forth a time or two. I hope this helps.

My understanding is that you can, however we just went with the floor model to start. I would check with them.

Method does make floor cleaner. You'd used a lot doing floors with the All Purpose.

I do like to vacuum first to pick up LOOSE dirt-I'm just that fussy. But for "dust and light dirt," I would not think vacuuming would be necessary. I have an older female dog who sometimes has difficulty holding her urine. After soaking it up with paper towels, this Twist and Shout mop is the BEST, using a water solution of soap and disinfectant. The point I am making is that any liquid messes on floors certainly would not need vacuuming first.

Just wipe it down if it is moist. I like to go in before my husband cause he sweats a lot in there and it gets quite humid. But he wipes himself down with a cloth while in there and that keeps him from dripping all over the floor (he can wring out the washcloth when he's done).

hire a professional. marble does streak and never let floor air dry.if not to dirty simply use water and dry right away. never use any household cleaners as marble is porous and you might do damage.
