Is this dry steamer safe, and more importantly "dry enough" to be used on a finished mahogany bed frame?

I don't how dry it is... Steam is water and eventually the cleaning pad is wet.

YES!! Very well. My niece uses it daily in her bridal shop for all their gowns. I was thoroughly impressed by the professional quality of this steamer when I steamed 32 large table cloths for a wedding with it. Worked like a dream. Must hang the item being steamed. Steam needs to flow through the item for best results. Tip from the pros: Fill with DISTILLED water for wedding gowns, so they won't turn yellow or have brownish yellow 'stains' from the chlorinated water. I'm bound and determined to have this steamer. I've personally owned two others that were returned for their lack of putting out quality steam. This one is the real deal. YES!! Very well.

It is recommended. I normally wipe it down with mineral oil to prevent the wood from drying out. Mine is stored in a closet and brought out when needed.

Yes this steamer would be perfect. I recently opened a boutique myself and this is what I use every day. Works well and is incredibly simple.

The water should not be too hot or too wet for wood floors. The main problem is when people leave the steamer in one place for a while, letting the heat build up. Since there is a tray provided for you to set the steamer on, this is not a problem.

I don't think it is. The wood was dry. I screwed it all together, and no moisture leeched out. I did find this in a search, if you did wanted to treat it. http://www.wayfair.com/Gronomics-Garden-Bed-Oil-GBO-1QC-NWO1032.html

The tag says dry clean only but I love this bedspread so I would recommend it 10 times over.

I think they recommend that the bedspread should be dried cleaned only. I have not had that done yet.

Mine does not wet the fabric but it does put out quite a bit of steam. Working with small quilting parts, you could easily get a steam burn if you don't get your hand out of the way. You can adjust the steam but I've never tried as I like the steam. It is an awesome iron. Helen

I have used it on mahogany louvers, kitchen and bathroom cabinets, in dry and tropical climates. Awesome product. I washed first with Murphy's wood oil soap, then applied two coats. Keeps wood looking like new for years.

It could be done. You probably would need a 2nd person to lift and hold the steamer up because the hose most likely would not be long enough to reach across a king size bed. I had to have a second hand to lift steamer so that I could steam the tops of my draperies. I am very happy with the steamer.

The answers below are correct. The instructions warn against laundromat drying...don't know why unless they get too hot. I have this on my guest bed because for us it's way too heavy.

Not at all. I have mine sitting on wood and the 'steam' is ejected upwards and out into the room. Nothing is ever wet.

i've tried it before. sometimes it works - sometimes it drips water because the head of the steamer istoo low. if there was a way that someone could hold the comforter vertical while you steamed it would probably work better. personally, i'd take it to a laundromat - lightly dampen the fabric (if it's ok with water) and tumble it for about 10 minutes. i haven't been to a laundromat in decades, but i remember thattheir dryers were much larger than a household dryer.

No, there are always moisture on all parts. I use a bottle rake for drying.

Sorry, Cyndi, the travel iron does have steam holes in the heating plate. You re correct that you need a dry iron; one with no steam

I have not tried my Ewbank steam cleaner on wood. I would be quite cautious in doing so since the steam is such a temperature that could dry and possibly damage wood. Good luck.
