i just got the shark vac and steam mop over xmas so i dont have to use chemicals around my 9 month old. im kind of afraid to use it on my laminate hardwood flooring though. anyone else do this? im worried the water from the steam will get down in the wood and
buckle or something.
thanks

We have the original Steam Shark for over 5yrs now and absolutely love it! Its been great on tile/grout, hardwood and other non-carpet flooring. At first, we didn't believe it was cleaning and would 'test' it, but it proved itself time and time again. I keep hoping for something to happen to it, so I can justify buying the new one. It dries instantly, faster than any other method of liquid-cleaning. Not only do other cleaners have chemicals, but they leave a residue that attracts and holds dirt. You won't have that with the Steam Shark.

I just got one too! I love it! Works great on my wood and laminate. I haven't found it leaving my floors wet at all. We're able to walk on them almost immediately. :-)
I love cleaning without chemicals!

I have been doing a little research on this type of machine. I think if you read everything they are made for laminate and wood floors. You got the one I want and all the main areas in my house are laminate (fake wood) floors!
Come back and tell me how it works, as this is a near future purchase for me!!

It will eventually seep into the floor and ruin it! Faster if it is laminate then actual wood. It forces the moisture into the wood. We just had a water main break in our home and are needing to replace all of our custom oak floors on our main floor. ;( Insurance not pay for a custom floor so we have to get the hardwood. I plan to put a few coats of poly on it to completely seal it. It is 'finished', but the cracks between the boards are not 'sealed' and water can get forced in.
