this blend is not designed for hardwood floors . Consider murphys oil soap or Dr. Bronners hemp soap diluted with water

I would not use this product on wood floors. Real soap is alkaline and would likely damage the finish. Do a search for natural floor cleaner. They are all based on vinegar (acidic) or alcohol (neutral).

I have laminate wood flooring, not hardwood floors. I usually sweep and mop that floor, but I got my vacuum out to answer your questions and went over the laminate floor with it. There is no scratching at all whatsoever and it does pick up dirt and stuff just fine. I've even picked up a few pebbles or a small screw, etc. with no ill effects. Great vacuum! The rotating brush on the floor doesn't bother me or seem to make a lot of noise. Just the same sound from the carpet to the laminate flooring with a little more hollow sound on the hard floor.

This is the best hardwood floor cleaner I have found. The company that installed my new oak flooring gave me a sample of this. I won't use anything else now. It goes on streak free and dries streak free. If you walk on it wet, it probably will streak or make marks, but any cleaner will. Once it's dry, it is perfect. I end up with really dirty floors since this is a new house and our grass isn't growing well yet. I sometimes use a sponge mop to get the actual mud up in the traffic areas. Then I use the Poly Care with the dispenser spray mop that has the washable microfiber pads on the whole floor. This is the best hardwood floor cleaner I have found.

Personally, I wouldn't use a carpet cleaner on hardwood floors. Actually, I now wouldn't even recommend this model to anyone since mine is already broken and haven't used/abused this machine enough, but it's long out of warranty I suspect.

Yes it works great on my natural cherry hardwood. However use the pad or hold off floor for the 15-20 seconds it takes to heat. It does a wonderful job. I have tried and still use Bona also but like this better I either sweep or vacume be fore I use it. I have a lot of wood floors and a dog so I like to pick up as much as possible. I used it last night after my husband dropped a container of yogurt which splattered all over my kitchen!

Not if you clean it up in a reasonable amount of time. I spilled some on hardwood but cleaned it up within a couple hours and it was fine. It just gets sticky after a while so you may need Goo-gone or something to help

I do not have hardwood floors. It is a smaller vacuum that I keep upstairs for our loft bedroom and bath. It is very powerful for its size. It is mostly carpet up there and does a very good job. It also works well on the tile floor, so I would imagine it would be good on hardwood too. The attachments are handy. Hope this helps. I have been very happy with it.

I use this on all of my floors. My no wax kitchen floor and my hardwood hall floor. It gives it a shine and doesn't build up like other floor cleaners. I haven't had a problem.

No it doesn't clean the floor. It is more of a refinishing product. I used it on a wood laminate floor and it worked great. It restores the shine and makes the floor look newer but it isn't for cleaning. You will probably have to use a brush and a strong cleaning product.

It does not scratch hardwood floors. I use it every other day to sweep up cat hair! I like it because it sucks up the hair and it does not blow it around like it does when you use a dust mop.

Vinager, water and a mop is the best cleaning you can have for hardwood floors. I had African Mohogany floors and kept them like new for 8 years till I sold house.

I apply it the old fashion way...rags. Because you are cleaning the floor and waxing at the same time, you need to have multiple rags handy. They will get very dirty. I go over some spots several times. You will know where that is needed as you apply One Step. I've been using One Step yearly for a very long time and get compliments on my hardwood floors all the time. Good luck!

It does not damage our hardwood floors. We love this product. Works great on tile and painted patio floors too.

What kind of spots? Shoes? Dirt? I really like this product and I have used it on many different types of floors and they all looked good. When my bottle starts to run low, I add a bit of water and for some reason... It works even better. And to answer your question... Yes! It does a good job on bamboo floors. What I do is I put the product in a spray bottle. I go around spraying the floors (it starts softening the dirt and grime) and then I use a damp bona pad. It never fails.

I've only used it to spot wash on hardwood floors in my home and did not let it soak into the wood. I then did a very light rinse. It did fine. Of course, the type of wood and the finish makes a difference, I am sure. If it is a kennel floor and you just want the odor gone then I'd do a more soaking wash. I've used it in my washer with dog bedding and even on the clothes I wear while caring for my dogs too. I swear by the stuff.

Absolutely yes. I have avoided all the ones that say they will harm wood floors. (although mine are so old and damaged that it would be hard to tell.) It's better for carpets but it works perfectly on the wood too. However, I don't soak the wood, as I would a carpet. I just wipe it on and leave it.
