is it safe to use on hardwood floors?

No will not hold hardwood flooring securely. It is really for carpet and even at that it is not meant to last forever.

I asked their technical support dept this same question and the answer was "should be ok for most hardwood floor finishes but use caution and test in an inconspicuous area especially if the floor finish is old/soft." because my concerns were about what might happen long term, not just within a few minutes of "testing," i asked more questions. it sounded to me that the tape would more likely become less sticky over time rather than my concern that it could become permanent or difficult to remove. so i went ahead and taped a rug to a hardwood floor. the tape was very effective given the type of rug (kilim). then i started becoming a little nervous about potential tape residue over time (in spite of it sounding unlikely while talking to the rep) so i removed the tape. it had been there for something like half a week and it pulled up off of the floor very easily and had no impact on the finish and did not leave any residue at all. if you still have concerns, it was super easy to reach the IPG person using the phone number inside the cardboard core of the tape roll. good luck!

I'll never know because I can't peel the backing off. I've tried every way I can and no luck. Maybe someone can let me know how.

I would think so, though admittedly mine is on a wood floor. Don't think it would be harmful however.

I think it is safe to sit on a hardwood floor, but I would recommend sitting a towel under to be on the safe side as well as one to step onto when you get out. I was skeptical when I first got it but still think this is by far one of the best things I have purchased for myself.

I use it only on tile. Everything I have read says you should NOT use on older hardwood floors.

I use mine on carpet and it slips a little. Im 90% sure it would slip some on hardwood.

I have used it on my wood floors without any issue. My wood floors have a couple coats of polyurethane to protect the wood.

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.

I have not used on hardwood floor. I would try in a corner that does not show...to test.

I use it on my hardwoods and it works great, they don't appear to be any worse for it either. I don't use it more than once maybe every 5 days though because I want to be sure...

Yes, I used on hardwood floor with no problem. The lever handle has a plastic pivot that is made to not mark a hardwood floor. Use the felted pads on hardwood.

Personally, I wouldn't use a carpet cleaner on hardwood floors. Actually, I now wouldn't even recommend this model to anyone since mine is already broken and haven't used/abused this machine enough, but it's long out of warranty I suspect.

Yes, would be safe. Would not harm hardwood. This is great stuff, and I love the fragrance. If spots in your car mats from dirt, spray, rub gently back and forth, and next day the spot is gone, and you've got the extra - a nice fragrance in your car. Also great for removing those tar spots near the bottom of your car body after it is washed. No, I don't work for the company. I'm just 59 years old, believe in the stuff, and have been using it at least 20 years. I always keep 4 bottles handy.

Hi,I don't have hardwood floors but with the attachments I don't see why not. I use it on my kitchen tile floor.

Yes, it's excellent on hardwood floors. There is an issue with the handle having the potential to break off. This happened to me after using one of their new brooms, but I contacted the company and they were good about replacing the broom at no cost.

Sorry, I can't answer that question - we've only seen it used on wooden floors.

their instructions say that it can be used only on *sealed* hardwood floors. I use it lightly, without problems on all my hardwood floors even though they're not super well sealed; that is they're old and i have never redone them. I love my steamer.
