    Bought a steam mop last week. Only used it on tiles and very happy with it .
    Front rooms and hall are semi solid wood. Is it safe to use on them ? For some reason I think it's not

    Its fine to use on wooden floors,,,you simply turn down the amount of steam/pressure to a low setting and you then an use it on wooden floors.

    Simples.

    It's a Vax hard floor master. But it does not have any settings :(

    Hi there,

    Also have similar floors, but were told not to use steam mops. We were given 'Deteroil' which is a soap type cleaner for wooden floors....back to scrubbing!!!

    I would imagine if the floor is well sealed it shouldn't be a problem...like many floors if the seal/varnish is worn it wouldn't be recommended
