What do you use to wash your floors in between using this?

I use Amway's LOC. With the LOC you don't have to rinse afterwards. Since I have difficulty with the odors of chlorine, pine and ammoni, and many other commercial cleaning products.

U can use just plain water or for tougher messes use a very small amount of your cleaner mixed with water to dilute it.

I clean it after each daiy use - the area I use it on is kitchen, dining area, lg foyer, laundry area and bathrooms. I bought a second pad in case there might days that the tiles were extra badly soiled.

I just use distilled water. Unless your floor is SUPER dirty the steam lifts dirt just fine.

Yes, I use a dust mop first on my wood floors. You could use the Twist and Shout as a dust mop, then wet mop with it. It does a good job either way.

I would use it only if the floor scrubber contains a separate bottle with soap in it or if you can use other soap in it.

I do small sections at a time and pour it on the floor in a Z pattern and use a clean mop or a Swiffer dry cloth on the Swiffer wand. to spread it evenly on the floor :)

It doesn't mop the floor. It is a sweeper that works really well! I have two - one upstairs and one downstairs. It picks up all kinds of messes and on the underside, there is a tray that traps the dirt. You can empty it by pushing a button on the top of the sweeper. Occasionally you need to turn the sweeper over and remove any dog hair/lint/threads caught in the brushes. I LOVE it and it is so helpful when you make a mess! :)

This is not a manufacturer answer but personally I wouldn't. To me unsealed plus water is not a good idea. I'm not sure what kind of floors you want to use it on but broom and damp mop sound like your best bet.

Use a swifter so you don't have to lean in and on the flooring (a Lysol wipe on a yardstick probably would work better). Be sure to let it dry completely.

I would try it without cleaner first, the steam will often be all the liquid you need to get the grime off. If you use a cleaner, I would suggest something organic like vinegar and water mixture or other cleaner that your floor surface recommends. It will not harm the steamer since you are using the pads that come with it.

Clean with it by mixing with water and thoroughly cleaning floors, clothing, furniture etc

I use my Oreck steamer of my laminate floors every week. Be sure us use distilled water and use the steamer on its lowest setting. I spray bona cleaner as I steam the floors.

I vacuum 1st, then clean bit sometimes small pieces of grout in between my floor tiles come loose. When this happens I just switch to vacuum, get those pieces off the floor & resume scrubbing and drying. Hope this helps.

I clean my floors with Bona Cleaner once a month and then put the polish on. Then I just wet mop it in between.

Go over it with a towel.this dries the floor and also allows you to see how clean the floor actually is after steaming

You can use any type of floor cleaner. I've even just used hot water and vinegar and that works well. I wouldn't use anything that gets really sudsy (like pinesol) it would clean but i think you'd end up having to refill the container more frequently.

You can use it to vacuum the floor prior to the wet scrubbing. Is is constantly sucking up the dirty water as you clean, like a carpet cleaner. You can also go back to suctions only to pick up any excess water after you have cleaned an area. To me, the key is to go section by section.
