Steam Mop on Hardwood Floors
I'm pretty sure I know the answer to this question, but my wife keeps nagging me... so here it goes.
We just bought a puppy and lets just say his tiny little paws make sure the flooring doesn't look as clean as it used to. My wife wants to buy the Shark Steam Mop. It's one of those "As Seen on TV" items. It claims that it is safe to use on hardwood floors because the steam evaporates quickly. However it does not specify what type of hardwood floors.
I just put down prefinished oak flooring in the spring. Personally I think the "As Seen on TV" stuff is useless, fragile crap. I told my wife not to buy the steam mop because I would think that the steam would be pushed between the boards where they meet up. Possibly causing damage down the road. What do you guys think?
Is the Shark Steam Mop safe to use on prefinished hardwood flooring?
