do you still use a clean water mop after using this with whatever cleaning solution? In my case PineSol? For fear of pet foot contamination.

I haven't. I have engineered flooring and use Once and Done cleaner and seems to work fine.

Plain water works great, but adding just a little shampoo would be even better. I'd suggest rinsing after the shampoo, which would obviously add another step though. I LOVE my paw plunger!

If the floor is really, really bad mop first. Just normal cleaning the Oreck will do the job alone and leave a great shine. Mopping after would lessen the result. This product works. No buyer's remorse. We have two kids, two dogs, I have big feet and don't take my shoes/boots off in the house and we would buy it again in a heartbeat.

The manufacturer recommends just using plain, distilled water ( I just use my tap water) and honestly? It works amazingly well with just the power of steam. I wouldn't recommend putting anything in the water except maybe a little white vinegar here and there to reduce any internal buildup you may get from calcium or lime deposits. I have added a few drops of essential oil to other steamers I've used in the past ( lemon or orange ) to make the house smell nice while I was mopping, but its definitely not something they recommend, so use it at your own risk!

Yes, you can clean it with Barkeeper's Friend. I have done so many times and it works well.

I really don't recommend a bucket and mop for this product. I use a Clorox ReadyMop, which I already had. I just replaced the liquid in the bottle with the Bona product. Bona is great for laminate floors, which I have. Use as little Bona as possible on laminate floors. A Swiffer Wet Jet mop would work, too.

I don't think it would harm your wood floors anymore than mopping with water might. If you have a strong odor you are trying to get rid of, this is the stuff to do it.

Hi, the manual says that you shouldn't use anything but water; however, I have 2 dogs and like to disinfect as well. What I do is put the disinfectant in a spray bottle. I spray the floor with it and then mop over it with the steam and it works great. I also sometimes use the Lysol with Febreeze and it leaves my house smelling really nice.

I did. There was no problem. I scrubbed the walls of my dog house with it using some but not a huge amount of water.However it depends on how much water you splash around. I would use a cordless if you are going to be working in a very wet situation

I've used it with both dog shampoo and water and I find plain water just as good as adding a couple drops of shampoo. Hope they helps! It's really amazing how clean this product gets the paws!

Hi Anne, I normally just use dish washing soap and sponge to clean with water, next time use rube globes to prevent the membrane to adder it to you skin. ;)

Have not had any issues using it but I am not "rough" on my mops so not quite sure if this will answer your question or not.

Yes, it is better because the MOP HEAD is made of a Micro fiber and particles get stuck in it. I just sweep first, no need to bring out the vacuum cleanerI have a wonderful broom from Europe with horse hair-fantastic! Have fun mopping!

I have, I used the mop brush attachment without the fiber pad. Used it to steam/sanitize the carpets from fleas. Just be sure to vacuum beforehand.

Hello DJ; To be honest, my wife was not impressed. We thought this cleaner would be an answer to some of the concerns you have and we found this product not any better than Pine Sol. So I wouldn't waste your money. It's an okay product but not what we had hoped.

We have soaked it in oxy-clean, and it comes out clean and ready for use. I believe you could use the gentle cycle without a problem. I just did not want to wash it in the washing machine too often, in case it weakened the product--not to say that it would. I just did not want to chance it. Love the mop and bucket, easy to use, and comes clean without much work.

Darcy, Yes, it is ok to clean as normal after the product has dried. Although I use the product after I have moped and vacuumed.
