I'm hoping you can use it on wood floors. We are planning on removing
the carpet in our great room and replacing it with either wood or tile.
If we choose wood we will have a urethane finish on it so from
previous experience the steam shouldn't bother it. I used to wash the
urethane finished wood floors in a previous house with water & murphy's
oil soap. The Bissell steamer works wonders on vinyl floor though!
