I'm looking for a product that will degrease floors in a restaurant kitchen. Do you have any recommendations? Thank you.

This stuff might work on your floor but it depends on how much square footage you plan to degrease and how aggressive a degreasing you need to do. Remember most degreasers will also remove floor wax and damage synthetic flooring if too concentrated a solution is used. The degreasing solution will have to be removed once the grease is dissolved. A single application of the degreaser may not be enough to do the job thoroughly.

I use an industrial degreaser from Zepp. You can buy this at Home Depot if you are in the US.

What kind of spots? Shoes? Dirt?I really like this product and I have used it on many different types of floors and they all looked good. When my bottle starts to run low, I add a bit of water and for some reason... It works even better. And to answer your question... Yes! It does a good job on bamboo floors. What I do is I put the product in a spray bottle. I go around spraying the floors (it starts softening the dirt and grime) and then I use a damp bona pad. It never fails.

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 have used the machine to scrub my synthetic kitchen "tile look" floor. It does that well and gets back most all of the water. I don't think I would buy the machine just to scrub tile or restore grout's appearance. There are cheaper and more effective ways to go for that specialty.

The green pad will strip the finish off your hardwood floor. It is very coarse and I used it to scrub my concrete floor in the basement after a flood. The least abrasive pad available on Amazon is the white one, but even that may be too rough. There is also a terrycloth "bonnet" that is used for polishing floors. I would try that with a non-abrasive solvent to avoid damaging the finish. Can you find out from the builder what the stuff is on the floor and Google how to remove it safely? Best of luck!

My dog horked on a tile floor which discolored the grout (1/3"). The Shark Steam pocket mop cleaned it up great! I removed the mop head and used the steam directly on the grout. I don't recommend it unless you're extremely careful, after all it is steam, VERY VERY HOT.

I have vinyl floors however in our other home I used the steam cleaner and loved it. Just don't stay in one place glide it slow and do not leave it alone with it steaming. If you do it may turn you clear finish a foggy wht. I love it because it is more sanitary than a mop and bucket.

I use it on my hardwood floors, and it cleans very well. I do not have them in the kitchen. Not sure that kitchen dirt is different than other dirt, but my floors never look better after washed with this product.

The mister clean part is only a slightly more heavy duty part of the pad. I do not think it would create the same issue as the sponge which is meant to be highly but gently abrasive, this is not. Make sure you are using the liquid for wood floors though. IMO based upon my experience these should not be an issue, but I have tile and can not really say for sure what affect they will have.

Definitely. I use a Walmart product called Grime Busters. They are cheap & wetter. I have very soft old pine floors also & just use a dry Swiffer cloth on them.

I have the same question. I have read the reviews and a couple say they have used it on laminate floors. I would like to know for sure before purchasing one. Does anyone know for sure?

I use mine on tiled floors almost daily, it does a great job. I put a little Lysol in the water, works wonderfully for pet odors. It does get the grout as well. Love it.

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.

I would not use this product. I used it on my wood and tile floors and ended up with a mess. I had to hand clean & rinse the floors and the residue left took several cleanings to fully remove.

I use distilled water on my ceramics. Otherwise it would leave streaks with cleaners.. I might try spraying the floor slightly, with a mixture of water and ammonia and then run the steam mop over it.. DONT BOIL CHEMICALS its dangerous to breathe
