excess water on floors?
1770800
Hi Maureen, The Euroflex does put out a lot of steam and thus water. Whether it's "excess" is a qualitative judgement. The last steam cleaner I had was a Shark or Snark.. It had a pipe in the center with small holes in it where steam came out. It put out virtually no steam (water) and I had to go over and over the same area to clean the tile floor. The Euroflex cleans with one pass because it does put out so much hot steam. The downside of this, however, is that you must refill it more often than I'd like too. No pain, no gain. Hope this helps.

I have no problem with excess water on floors. It is very hot steam and the floors dry very quickly.

There is a water tray that can be emptied. It did not fill up quickly and I think we only emptied it a few times during the summar.

No. I was actually surprised how much water was left on the floor as I was cleaning it.

There is a tube inside the machine that dumps a little bit of water into the tray. Some sort of overflow protection, or pressure relief. A little bit is normal. I empty my tray ~once every 2 weeks, and clean it at the same time

I've set up mine upstairs many times on jobs where there is a large room. I also cover the floor with double blue tarps. It's practically impossible to contain all the water in that you are going to have drips from your just-cut tile going away from saw. Also if you are in the habit of leaving the cutting table parked outside of tray perimeter, you will get water dripping down. For that matter it will do that when you pull it back to make the cut. As far as overspray, I find that it contains it pretty well. Just be well away from walls. Again, I really protect the floor well because of the potential liability.

You can easily control how much water you use so you may be able to avoid those areas I suppose. The suction works well on a flat surface but when I tried it on tiles in my brother's house it left quite a bit of water on his floors.

No, you don't need to add water. I h r stopped using this product though as it seemed to build up. I am still looking for the perfect wood floor cleaner.

Make sure not to overfill it, or this phenomenon (as the manual calls it) occurs. There's a mark for the maximum water level on the inside, and it's lower than one would expect.

There is a max water level indicator on the tank. Remember the item or items being cleaned also take up volume so fill accordingly.

You should dial down the water amount. It's a natural tendency to want to add more water but less is better. Try it out, hope this will help. If you add less water, the mop will do it's job and the floor will try a lot faster.

yes if you have waterproof floors around otherwise the overspray would make a big mess. In general it would probably be too much volume to control in most situations.

Go over it with a towel.this dries the floor and also allows you to see how clean the floor actually is after steaming

You will notice the floor does get wet. I have tile floors and it was easier for me to mop whatever little water was released from the sauna. I highly recommend for you to put a towel in the inside of the sauna under your stool or chair. This will help absorb the water so that it won't drain to the floor. As far as wood floors I would recommend to maybe place a hard plastic liner under the sauna to avoid any possible damage.

If you actually need to replace the tank instead of just dumping the dirty water and washing it out - here is a thought. You may have a problem with suction if the tank is not filling up with dirty water while the Floormate is running. There is a clear plastic connector tube that goes to the tank that cracked on my floormate - you need to check that - and also look for that part on Amazon.

There is a measuring cup, but I haven't had any issue with excess water/ moisture. There steam escapes at the top. Hope this helps!

Mine is the same way, it's about a 1/4 full and says water is low. Not a biggie to me, but is still frustrating at times.

The only time I had a problem with overflowing was once when the bowl wasn't completely level on the floor. If you place your bowl on carpet or other soft flooring, you might need to use something underneath it to balance it out.
