The floor is not even warm. How hot should the floor be after mopping? Is that normal??

It was extremely hot, but this is the second unit i bought the first unit got hot, but not "scalding" hot. I believe the extreme heat was of the second unit was a malfunction and what caused it to fail after the first use. I previously had a moist heat heating pad that put out much more heat to the point of being almost too hot. Look for units like Moist Heating Pad Digital Electric 14"x27" by Reliamed or other similar moist heat pads. good luck.

I have only had mine for a month. I hope it will last a long time. In the month I have had it, I have used it 4 times. It works better than any mop I have ever had. I had no problem putting it together, & it is picking up the hair & dust really well. I have to say that I am very satisfied. Also, the foot pedal is an important reason why I bought it. I can not wring out a mop. This foot pedal does it all for me. I am very happy with mine. God bless you all.

Not more than mopping, but more than some other steam mops. When it first heats up, it tends to dump a lot of water all at once. My first Envirosteamer dumped all the water in 5 minutes every time. I called Eureka and had them replace it, and my new one isn't quite as bad but still dumps a lot of water right when it gets hot enough to use.

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 not. My housekeeper uses an ordinary mop with cold water and the floor has become patchy in high-traffic areas.

I used a rag type mop. Put some wax in a pail and put in the mop. Ring out pretty well, you don't want to use a lot. I divided the floor into four parts and started appyling from side to side motions. Just wash out the mop with soap and warm water. Let dry good and you are ready for next time. Using the rag mops, you can also throw into the washing machine and then dryer and this works really well. Hope this helps a little. Linda

I just bought this and am surprised that others have found it gets too hot. Mine doesn't get nearly hot enough, just a little warm up at level 6. Almost all of the negative reviews complain about this but I saw such a high overall rating I didn't read them. I'm thinking of return it asap.

I get mine a little wet. wrap in towel put it in for about 3 to 5 mins or longer if you want it hotter.

The floors have a slight dampness ,which drys almost immedietly. I guess the hot steam helps with the drying. Hope this helps

it gets plenty hot, but the problem is cleaning. EVERYTHING sticks. Even after using oil or spray non stick oil.

It burns so hot that nothing much is left to clean! Sweep it out or shop vac, when cool of course.

fill the reservoir, let it heat for 30 seconds, then pull & pump the handle. actually, it steams while you mop just by the pumping action of pushing and pulling the mop across the floor.

Hi Hallie, normally with this unit you will only want to press the steam trigger for 5-10 seconds to moisture the mop pad and then apply steam as needed when the pad starts to dry. If you hold the steam button the entire time it can cause excess moisture which may be what you are experiencing.

I had this problem too. lol. Be sure that you are holding the handle at the grip part. In this picture, its the middle part of the handle that is colored red. If you hold it anywhere else, the handle and the mop head will come apart., Try it. I hope I described it correctly, if not get back to me. Youre gonna love this mop

YES same thing with me. I thought the steam mop would work good,but left my floors looking like there is a film all over. I've tried to use vintage water and tea water,and floor wax, it still has it,so I think the steam mop ruined my floor. My husband is very upset to.He spent many hours refinishing that floor.I'm still looking for a solution and if I find one I will repost.
