Steam Cleaner for Hardwood Floors? Rec?

[Kirk Freeman]

Anyone have any experience with the steam cleaners for hardwood flooring?

Stately Freeman Manor has White Oak throughout the house, bamboo in the dining room and cherry in the library.

Anyone have one that they love?

Wife has the sharkmop and loves it.

I would contact a hardwood installer/refinisher before I tried that. Might be fine with some woods/finishes.
I would be extremely cautious with the bamboo.

I've been told to avoid using steam on hardwood floors.

My wife uses a Red Devil steam mop. Works great!

They use it in the YMCA downtown Lafayetter where I work out. It does a great job and seems to have no negative consequence.

Is the floor sealed like the one at the YMCA? If so you should be GTG

No, the White Oak flooring came with the house. The widow told me it was original (1956).

The bamboo and cherry are the floors I installed.
