Is this unit safe to use on hardwood floors without staining?

This is a sharp looking metal baseboard type heater. You should not have any problem. However if you wish they are "paintable". I'd select a "paint" as close to the stain color as possible. Frankly it would be better if you paint it to match it to the wall color and not the floor. This way it will blend into the wall and not be as noticeable. I'm a designer. Just had to input some info.

Had to respond again. There is no condensation that comes from this unit if that is of concern to you.

Mine is on carpet. In its second year. Not one stain. My carpet is white, btw. I can't imagine what would leak to cause a stain. It's not oil filled. Even then I have had a lot of oil filled heaters over the years. None ever leaked.

Not sure what you mean by "staining". We use it on a light colored carpet with no concerns.

It is on a wood floor and since there is no water involved I don't know how it might stain.

I believe they were asking about the heat causing a darkening or "stain" on the hardwood floors. I use mine on tile but I wouldnt think it would discolor anything in front of the unit.

I suppose it depends on what you use it for and how you use it. It is not "stain proof" and it is plastic. However, mine still looks great; after lots of use, it's not stained and it is not dirty looking. It is a decent product.

So far no staining but it does slip some on the carpet. I usually have to pull it back into place every 10 minutes during Insanity- which is a lot of high intensity movements.

I have used the Miele on hardwood floors and I had no problem with it. It works just fine.

I haven't really had any problems with staining...but I also am careful with it.

I also have wood floors and have not seen any scratches from cleaning with it. I love mine.

I've had no problems with it so far. Initially I used the low setting because I was afraid of scorching my floors. It worked well on our high-finish oak. We've since moved and I've used it on higher quality maple using the higher setting. I've actually forgotten I had it on for 15 minutes and it did no damage to the floor. It can get really hot and will probably ruin less durable materials, but the two settings allow you work on various surfaces.

I did not put any stain on mine. I put teak oil on a similar piece of furniture but not on this chaise and had no problem.

I've used my clothes dryer now for quite some time, but haven't experienced any staining of sheets or colored clothing. The wood of the clothing rack changed color a bit, but that's to be expected I think since it's untreated wood.

I brushed mine with a food-grade oil rather than a stain to make it resist water at least for a while. This type of wood can also be left alone.

I am sure it is very safe. I have used it on my floors. But let me warn you that on certain wood floors it leaves them looking very dull. Also it leaks terribly. I have been told to reset the filter and I have but the darn thing still leaks. I should have sent it back and I wish I had bought a different brand. I do not like mine at all and I would not reccomend this to anyone. Do youself a favor and check into something else.

Krista: I have used my mat on pale green carpet for several years and no stain has resulted from use. Hope that helps. Ralph

I didn't stain mine, but the paint came out nicely! If you were to paint then clear coat it with a thin layer of polyurethane, it should be protected for a good amount of time!

I have hardwood floors as well. The brush actually flips the dirt up in the to vacuum part. Haven't had any problems at all. My floors are very dark, and show any scuff or mark, and I've not seen one from this little sweeper.

I have been using this on my sealed hardwood floors for about 7mo, and I have not had any problems.

No I cook all types of gravys in mine all the time and nothing has stained it, it cleans very easy. I'm very pleased with my purchase!

Not if you clean it up in a reasonable amount of time. I spilled some on hardwood but cleaned it up within a couple hours and it was fine. It just gets sticky after a while so you may need Goo-gone or something to help
