Buying steam cleaners for wood floor/tile/carpet/windows?

February 22nd, 2010 admin 3 Comments »

Does anyone have a steam cleaner that they love? Pros and cons of steam cleaners you’ve tried?

I agree with Mike…never ever use a steam cleaner on hardwood flooring..humidity is the main factor in keeping your hardwood safe…your home’s humidity should be between 30-50% .. wood absorbs water/steam and the heat will ruin the finish..it can cause warping and heaving in floors..do not use it on hardwood.

    They do make steamers for hardwoods. Try the shark steamer it worked great for me but it just stopped working so I am hoping I just got a lemon. I am going to return and try another. Go to a local place like lowes / bed bath / walmart and buy it.. just in case you need to return.
