Just wondering what sort of flooring you all have? We've just put down solid wood tassie oak, direct stuck and the guy said never use a steam mop as it will make them warp. Is this true? I have a mop from our last place which I loved using, now it's just sitting there. Would hate to use it and damage the floors. Thanks, K Re: How to use steam mop!? 11Oct 11, 2008 3:28 pm I've got solid Jarra and cork (very 80's lol) - I'm just waiting for it to come back in fashion.....These things do come back !!

hmm. not sure about Tassi oak. A few years ago I had a couple of the rooms re laquared, I asked the floor guy, he had no idea. Geez, I'd hate to ruin them tho ! I use a product called 'wood magic' (pledge) on the floors, it's fantastic. You just use one capful per bucket of water. Re: How to use steam mop!? 12Oct 11, 2008 7:09 pm I've got tiles.
Anyway, there were no instructions! This is why I came on here asking how to use it specifically. lol All it had was the box, which had brief pictures and descriptions but didn't really tell us anything, and the mop itself with a little cup. That's it! How the hell did I become a senior member!? I know nothing!

That's it! omg, I feel like such an idiot !! I read your post a couple of times, and thought, I'll have to reply to that later, then I did, but forgot you said you got no instructions. SORRY xxxxx Well, more info for you is, - be careful when heating it up, especially if the phone rings, I thought mine would be fine sitting on the pad, -yep I forgot I turned it on. Well the steam from the side caused the laquare to bubble on my cork, and it's in an obvious spot. Warning - If you need to refill the mop during a clean, wait for it too cool down before unscrewing the cap, steam comes out of the cap hole when you undo it, yep I burnt my fingers.... sorry again x Re: How to use steam mop!? 15Oct 12, 2008 10:11 pm zozzles23 Willow I've got solid Jarra and cork (very 80's lol) - I'm just waiting for it to come back in fashion.....These things do come back !!

I have been a hands and knees scrubbing afficianado for floors but my scrubbing days are drawing to a close so I am now looking for the easy way of doing things wherever possible. What's wrong with acting like an ostrich and burying your head in the sand sometimes? Some days it can stop you from having to look at the lemmings! That sucks! Hope it all works out.
