Almost all of my house is covered in wood flooring and there are about 8 people in the house. So you can imagine how hard it is to clean massive wood floors that get ALOT of traffic. I need some kind of machine to effectively clean my wood floors. I’ve been researching steamers and steamer vacuums, but I want to know which machine will work best. Also, my wood floors are surface sealed.
Use a damp mop with vinegar and water mixed 10 to 1. Why waste money on a machine that may ruin your floors? If there is any break in the finish on your floor, a steamer is forcing moisture into the wood. This will cause stains and possibly rot. You want as little moisture on your wood floors as possible.
The best will be to vacuum it first, then mop it and if you would like it shiny you can polish it.
