Floor steamer
I am considering getting one for my tiled kitchen floor as it is constantly filthy. Budget around 50 quid, no more than 70. Has anyone got any experience, suggestions please?
Biggest problem on the floor is dog footprints and dribble which seem to set like cement and resist the mop and bucket.

This is the updated version of mine Woof and I would thoroughly recommend it. More expensive, but Amazon probably have it cheaper
Karcher can be trusted.

They are not recommended - I think because of the seals on cooker doors.
If you read the reviews on the Amazon Link ummmm, there is something on there about cleaning ovens.
I wouldn't get a cheaper steamer, they are just not as effective.
The main problem for me is getting the thing out of the cupboard and setting it all up. I have ceramic tiles through three rooms, so tend to wait until a nice dry day, open up the windows, clear the floors as soon as possible and have a steaming session. I quite enjoy it, apart from the getting ready bit. Really good for cleaning loos, sinks, tiles, kitchen units and little corners that you cant get into and of course you save on cleaning products!! You need to cut up old towels 'cos you need quite a few!!

I think it depends on the steamer and to a certain extent the floor. Mine is tiled where I want t o use it but the rest of the downstairs is oiled oak. The care instructions say not to steam and it would be expensive to fix a mistake so I probably wont. I know some people steam varnished (polished) wood floors and some say don't, some say not on laminate and some use it on their laminate without harm......
