I'm looking for high gloss to spray on my dog's footprints on my hardwood floor to preserve them. Will this work & be able to mop?

This will not work for preserving your dog's footprints on the floor. A hardwood floor product like Varathane is going to be your best bet. http://www.rustoleum.com/en/product-catalog/consumer-brands/varathane/crystal-clear-floor-finish

I am so sorry to hear about your pet. They are with us for such a short time. If your dog's prints are not in foot traffic areas, then this may work if you apply several very light coats and allow each coating to dry thoroughly. It depends on the factory applied finish on your flooring, the material used to make the print and if the prints are new or have been on the floor for awhile. You will likely need to reapply this product periodically to maintain protective coverage of his prints. Just do a test on a part of his print that's in an area that will not be noticeable if anything happens.

I feel that this mop would be durable for any surface..I would say with a slate floor because of the designed surface that it would do well ..like any mop working with slate I believe you may have to clean it several times as the surface with slate would be different than a flat floor. I don't see any reason it wouldn't work well with slate.I find this mop extremely durable also for in between areas such as around the toilet bowl and corners of rooms...the design is unique as you can leave in as much water or wring out as much as desired.

I would say yes. The floor should have a non porous surface. I would not recommend using on an open grain wood floor such as an unfinished oak floor. I highly recommend this product! It lasts a long time. Two to three coats seems to give the best results. Make your final coat as thin as you can get it. Good Luck!!

I've been using it on Oak flooring without any problems. Of course you want to wipe it up quickly as you would with any liquid on hardwood.

I use plain water and spray a hardwood cleaner on the floor. The spray allows you to rinse as you go. This is the best mop I have ever used! So easy, a pleasure to do a job I usually hate. I bought as gifts so impressed. Get it!

If the floor is really, really bad mop first. Just normal cleaning the Oreck will do the job alone and leave a great shine. Mopping after would lessen the result. This product works. No buyer's remorse. We have two kids, two dogs, I have big feet and don't take my shoes/boots off in the house and we would buy it again in a heartbeat.

The floor is shiny after cleaning but the shine doesn't last for more than a few days. Then again, I do have a fairly hairy dog so maybe that isn't helping prolong the shine. I'm fairly certain you can use it on any type of flooring. I have bamboo flooring and it works very well on that. It also smells nice and dries fairly quickly.

IDK, sorry. It works very well on tile and cement. Probably OK on ordinary wood floors, maybe not so much on exotic woods? Probably fine on bamboo which is tough stuff. If you let the machine stay in one place in an effort to get at some particularly tough dirt, it MAY hurt the varnish. You can get away with that on tile, etc, though. I would say try it and see, better still, read the reviews on Amazon! :)

Sorry, I don't. If you're thinking of the disinfecting properties, I follow the instructions to use shorter, slightly slower strokes on tile. (I wouldn't do that on wood.) I have two indoor/outdoor dogs and though I'm concerned about disinfecting, I wouldn't rely totally on a steam mop to do the job. Mine does a good job cleaning, but I also occasionally use a disinfecting spray/cleaner on tile. (I don't have young children to worry about the wood floors.) Hope this helps.

I used this to strip the old finish off the floor, and it was necessary to leave it on the floor for a few minutes before I could rinse it off. Even then it took quite a bit of elbow grease to get the old finish off. I wouldn't think it would work in a steam mop if you are using it for this purpose.

Yes it would be. The mop head is removable so you can take it off and throw it in the wash, it is not really terry cloth although it resembles that in appearance and texture. There are two bottles that come with it (empty) and you can put what ever solution you want in it, for tile I would think just vinegar and water would work well. You squeeze the handle and it sprays the solution onto the floor. I use this on my hardwood floors and also my bathroom tile, and it does a great job. I do not spay "to much" so it cleans and dries very quickly. I love this mop, I bought extra mop heads so I always have some clean. Yes it would be.

I have 4 dogs. I use the quick shine floor finish every few months and the floors look great. they do get scuffed up by dog toenails and paw prints . I have the floor cleaner but I've found that just a damp mop works better to clean in between the floor finish. the cleaner kind of takes more of the shine off the floor

I have both tile and wood floors, and the Swiffer does a great job. As for applying a gloss, I would imagine that you could use your own cloth with product. The dry Swiffer cloths are meant to trap and hold dirt, not to apply any kind of finish. My wood floors have a permanent finish, so I have no need to apply anything else. Sorry I could not be more helpful.

it will handle the floor as long as the height difference isn't more than 4-5mm. more than that and the squeegee won't suck up the water. As far as dog hair goes I have 2 dogs and the Scooba doesn't seem to have a problem with there hair. We also run our Roomba everyday which helps with the hair.

I would say yes. I don't actually have any vinyl floors but I used it on super shiny/slick surface as well as tiled areas (kitchen bathroom) and it seems to work just as well on both. I use it with a swiffer sweeper mop

Definitely!! I use it on my wood floors. I have damped the mop and wrung it as dry as possible. I have also used a spray bottle of water to dampen the mop for small jobs. I found that spraying a stubborn spot on the floor with water makes it easy to mop up. There are never any streaks left on my floor with this mop no matter which method I use!!

Yes. You can spray this stuff on pretty much any kind of material, or flooring surface. Just remember, when you do, give it a little time to absorb and dry before you try walking, or sitting on that surface. but like was said, best to check a small area first, especially if trying it on leather. I dont think it would hurt it, but better safe then sorry. I have never found a material that it would not work on yet though.
