Does anyone know whether this mat is marked "safe for hardwood floors"? We are concerned b/c an entry mat left residue on our floors.

I've had this down on my hardwood floor for a bit over three months. The mat has had no effect on the wood floor. (I do like the mat - protects the floor and keeps the noise down).

Absolutely safe. I used two other types of cleaners, which actually damaged my engineered wood flooring. Just to be safe, test it in a dark corner, but I've never had a problem with this product.

This is a little hat to reply to as I don't know the donation or type of floor. I used the swifter on laminate flooring which did NOT make the floor slippery. This is a cleaner! I bought another Swifer for my hardwood floors up in N.E. The finish on the floors itself, can make the floors slippery until they are dried but I would not blame the Swifer. Let it dry!

Hello,we Have hardwood floor and found it to be just fine in protecting our son from some of his falls. He has taken some pretty bad spills on this mat and has basically dusted himself off and kept going. Our son has used this since he was about 7 months old and is now 13months old. Now that he walks it's obviously harder to keep him on the mat but that's not really the mats fault! :) hope that helps.

I have never had that problem. I use it on my stone tile laundry room and bathroom floors and it even gets up hairspray. I use their hardwood cleaner also, and love it. I do not use any other products that may leave a residue.

They didn't leave any marks on my floors, but they are tile. My daughters house has wood and there were no marks on her wood either when I went there even after coming in from outside. Didn't leave marks on the carpet either.

Yes...just as well, I feel. However, recently, I have noticed the mat develops a stain (mold?) over a few months. That is with regular washing and drying. I live in a very dry climate, yet the dark marks are definitely a mold...not good.

It will not. I have applied to my wood floor and removed at least once or twice and it has not left any marks or residue. The carpet has shown no signs of damage as well. For example, I had to move a large piece of furniture through my entry way and I peeled the carpet back and then reseated it once I was done. The tape has maintained its tackiness the whole time with no issues.

I wouldn't use this on hardwood floors. It could make the surface slippery and dangerous.

Yes, it is safe for hardwood. Just make sure you don't keep the mop in one place for too long and it won't damage the wood.

Yes, would be safe. Would not harm hardwood.This is great stuff, and I love the fragrance. If spots in your car mats from dirt, spray, rub gently back and forth, and next day the spot is gone, and you've got the extra - a nice fragrance in your car. Also great for removing those tar spots near the bottom of your car body after it is washed. No, I don't work for the company. I'm just 59 years old, believe in the stuff, and have been using it at least 20 years. I always keep 4 bottles handy.

It will not protect the floor. I'm trying to decide if I should send mine back, because it works well for catching the litter, but my cat has decided to use his box for pooping only, and has been peeing on the mat. I've tried cleaning it, even spraying it down with vinegar, because vinegar is supposed to be an odor eliminator, but it's not helping. I have afolded towel under the mat for now, so that my wood floor doesn't get ruined. Not happy at all.

I have tile floors so I checked the bottle. It doesn't say anything about it being harmful to wooden floors.

Yes it will leave marks but unless move things around a lot it doesn't matter. I don't shift the mat so if there are marks it still is hidden

I do vacuum before or you will have alot of dirt in the corners. I use it on hardwood floors weekly. Just don't let it sit in one spot for to long. I've been told it's safe and not safe. I believe the trick is to not over do it for fear of warping wood. I've used for 3 years weekly and see no damage to my floors. TIP: buy extra pads!

NO!!! This tape is AWESOME! We had it down for several months on our hardwood; it was a bit difficult to peel (kept splitting into thinner strips), simply because it had been vacuumed, mopped, played on, etc. There was absolutely ZERO residue.My husband (carpenter, home improvement contractor, wood floor snob ;) ) LOVES this product, and so do my 3 yr old son and 7 yr old daughter.I'm a hero w this stuff!

Krista: I have used my mat on pale green carpet for several years and no stain has resulted from use. Hope that helps. Ralph
