Can The Bissell Steam Mop be used on peel and stick vinyl tile? Appreciate if someone can give me their experience with this.

That is a great question RP, this mop is designed for use on hard floors like vinyl but if you are unsure if the mop is compatible reach out to your flooring manufacturer for their recommended cleaning method.

I have used it on laminate floors, they are 8 yrs old so im not sure what kind they are. I like the bissell and love the idea of steam instead of chemicals.

The answer is yes, I use it with the O'Cedar Ring & Spin mop to clean 3,200sf of tile. No problems at all, I add an ounce or two to the Ring & Spin bucket with the max level of hot water. I selected this because I can not tolerate the haze that appears after using Swifter or other hard floor cleaners I've tried. It has a pleasing scent and does a nice job. There are less expensive cleaners for sure but this is the only one, and I have tried way too many, that satisfies my taste thus far. Best wishes for a clean floor!

Probably not. The pads are fine, but a steam mop may leave too much moisture for laminates. I have vinyl plank.

I have used it on vinyl floors with 50 years of build up under equipment. I still had to use greenies and scrapers. It will clean vinyl, but it doesn't remove old wax or particularly shine.

I love my machine. I have used it on tile, but because of the brushes it did not have a good seal for suction. No big deal. It does a great job scrubbing. You will just have to run a mop lightly across it at the end to get the little bit of water that is left. I highly recommend it.

I see no reason why you can't use the Bona mop with the appropriate cleaner. The Bona mop uses a terry pad that sticks by velcro. Nothing magic in the mop itself

I read on a similar post a person said do not use on the "stick it yourself laminate flooring". It was with a similar steam cleaner like this. It was ruined. I have regular laminate flooring, but it will peel up too. Be careful!

I think you can use it on vinyl. I have it on vinyl tile and I have not experienced any problems. I am using it right now, and it is nice because I put my feet right on the mat, and it warms me right up - but it is not as hot as some reviewers seem to imply. If it was super hot, I could not keep bare feet on it for hours. If you are concerned about staining because of the heat, you could buy some sort of fiber door mat to raise it off the floor.

Per the manufacture's instructions I would not use it on laminate floors. Steam is not good for them. I don't know if the cleaner would harm the Shark steam mop.

It is a steamcleaner not a floor polisher. Other chemicals used besides steam can damage the mop pads and the unit. I sometimes sprinkle a little vinegar and water on the floors to assis the steam.

I have porcelain tiles in my kitchen and REALLY didn't like how this product worked on same......far better results on the vinyl tile in my mud hall/laundry room. Hope this is of help.

yes it is fine that is what I use it on mostly.. so far it works great.. even better than my last more expensive Bissell steamer that had less absorbent pads I had to use more exertion using it and repeat several times to get it to pick up the dirt .. this on was so much easier & cleaned quicker on even stuck subtances.. & didn't dry as quickly .

I am sure about using the steam mop on bamboo flooring. I haved use on both laminent and hardwood floors and have had no problem.

I use it on our vinyl floor without a problem Once it's finished cleaning the floor there is still a bit of water left on the floor so the directions recommend you don't use it on laminate flooring. We have sheet vinyl and not tile squares so there isn't any risk of damaging the flooring. I found that you want to vacuum the floor well before you use the Scooba as the ports clog up quickly if there is any dust on the floor. I hope this helps.

I did add the cleaner directly to the water tank. I am not sure about the Bissell Steam Mop. I have the Hoover one.

Yes. I have been using my steamer on laminate flooring for 3 years. No problems and much better than wet mopping because dries quickly. I recommend doing your laminate floors with a fresh pad and NEVER leave the steamer sitting in one place on the laminate floor with the unit running. The issue is not leaving any standing water which the steam does not if used correctly
