If they are prefinished floors (meaning the finish is on each board prior to being laid) then I believe it's typically not recommended to use steam on them at all as the steam can cause buckling as it seeps between the boards. If your floors are finished all at once (with for example a coat of poly over the entire floor at one time) then my understanding is that it depends on the finish. If you have wax on your floors, the high temps can melt the wax. I think that the link I put with more information may address the wood vs tile floors a bit more in depth.

I'm in the mark...Logan, this post is so timely! I'm in the market for a steam mop and recently saw the Shark being pushed on TV, of course. I hadn't begun researching yet, but this gives me a huge leg up. But are these two models too hot for wood floors? I need a steam mop for our main living space (all wood) plus our bathrooms (all tile). Is 220* too hot for wood floors??Daivahttp://designinaugust.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8626628041861428050.post-61274875175622377922011-03-22T10:19:58.075-04:002011-03-22T10:19:58.075-04:00I have the Eureka Envirosteam also.

I love it! <br /><br />And, by the way, I think vacuuming and dustbusting "most days" and mopping once a week puts you in the "tidy" category! That is much more than I do. :)Skyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04594865461510038566noreply@blogger.com
