Shark S1000A Steam Mop for Hardwood Floors - XL Removable Water Tank, 18ft Power Cord, White | Deep Cleaning & Sanitizing | Perfect for Tile, Laminate & Vinyl Floors in Homes & Offices

I've only used it a couple of times and am very impressed with the way it cleans my hardwood, slate and tile floors. I have four dogs and have tried every floor cleaning product on the market. Very easy to use, heats up quickly, is lightweight and has great maneuverability. Having read reviews from others and the problems they encounter these are my upfront suggestions. Do not add anything to the water tank. If you feel you need a product in addition to the steam have a separate spray bottle to use on your difficult areas. Additives will absolutely damage the tank and seals (speaking from experience with similar products). Wash the pad after each use, multiple uses will result in less clean floors that feel sticky and look cloudy. Remove the water tank when not in use, remove the cap, drain it, let it dry. If you keep water in it, sealed up tight, you run the risk of bacteria growing and causing smells and possibly mold. I've found its better to let the seals dry between uses. That said, this is a very nifty little steam cleaner that does exactly what it's supposed to do.
