What cleaning solution do you use for wood floor and tile floor? It seems like only water is recommended by iRobot.

I use only water tap to clean the tiles. As for wood floors, I don't have in my flat but I think water is not advisable in this case. So, I think you have to use the dry microfiber cloth as a first stage to remove fine dust, then spray the floor with a thin layer of varnish material . After that, run your braava as a second round by using the dry cloth to polish and get a shiny floor. I can say an idea in this regard, you can install the dry cloth and operate braava on the wet mode, there shall be no water of course but the rubbing action with the dry mode will help better to polish the wooden floor.

I only use hot water to dampen the cloth rather than chemicals, but uou could also use a wood floor cleaner that you would spray on the cloth to dampen it if you'd like.

I use IRobot Scooba cleaner with water. I use 1 cap full of solution and the rest water. It does a great job on my floors.

I use only water. I dampen the mopping cloths slightly, and fill the channels with water. The cloths will show how much they clean up.

I have used lit on bamboo, tile, and laminate floors. I did not use the cleaner on the laminate just the steam as they were not very dirty. Had good results.

I have hardwood throughout my home and it does a beautiful job. I believe when I was researching products there is a Bono tile cleaner which I imagine would do an equally excellent job.

I love love love this product for my wood floors. wood is wood I suppose, so it's worth trying. I'd try a small area first . I just don't know how it would hold up to being cleaned all the time.

On laminate and tile I use vinegar and water. On hardwood I use Bono hardwood floor cleaner. If cleaning pet mess I have used woolite pet stain spray.

I purchased the Gruene Steam Mop System a couple weeks ago. Included is a mop for tile, vinyl, etc and a mop for hard wood floors. I read that this machine is not designed to be used on carpet. :-( (However the ability to detach the machine and use as a hand held - opened numerous doors in cleaning procedures. And the additional attachments are a puzzle to solve - which one works best for what job.) You can use your own "mops". I found that old face clothes or dish clothes work great. I haven't even used the Gruene mops yet. I must be saving them for a rainy day. Just read Virginia's answer. My old steamer (that broke) produced an abundance of steam which made my floors very wet and took "forever" to dry. The Gruene is just right. I steam about a 4X4 section at a time. By the time I am finished with 2 more sections the first is dry. YAY!

Hi, thanks for your answer. You can buy the liquid cleaner on Amazon.com. I've checked our catalog and found the Libman 2047006 Liquid Hardwood Floor Cleaner on the following link:

Tina, we have never used our steamer on our tile floor though I wouldn't be afraid to try. It would probably leave a lot of water on the floor as the spinning brush wouldn't pick much up, but it would give it a good scrub. You'd probably have to go over it with a traditional mop to pick up the remaining water, but the scrubbing would be done. On our carpet, we LOVE it and would buy another on in a heartbeat. Good luck.

There is no water just wet pads. It sucks up the dirt and cleans the spots pretty good. The pads seem loose effective ness on large expanses of floor. We have 1000 sq feet. I like the fact that it saves you a step because you don't have to sweep and mop. I would say it works pretty good on small wood floors but it's not perfect. I sprayed some floor cleaner down to help it along. Hope this helps.

I use plain water and spray a hardwood cleaner on the floor. The spray allows you to rinse as you go. This is the best mop I have ever used! So easy, a pleasure to do a job I usually hate. I bought as gifts so impressed. Get it!

The pads do well on both. (I usually give my tile floors a good wipe on my hands and knees...but that's only in bathrooms.) The wood floor cleaner will work for both floor types. Don't use the tile cleaner on your wooden floor though. :-)

We have tile in the house & it works great. The one side of the Shark pad has "little fingers" on it & perfect for getting into the grout. Some dirt/stains are a bit harder to remove but it always works! I am very happy with this product & would recommend it to anyone. We have pets &, since all you use is distilled water, no worries about nasty chemicals.

Yes, this cleaner has a circulation tool especially good for carpet. So I had to buy another tool for wood and tile floor.----------Oops! I'm sorry! I didn't read the 'wet' word, because I saw this question at the morning dawn.. It's for only dry carpet!

Bona has a product for hardwood floors and one for laminate and tile. I have laminate and tile in my house and have used both products without a problem.

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.
