Do you have to wipe floor with rag after sealing
1796012
If you mean immediately after sealing, while it's still wet, then you only wipe it if there is some puddling. If you apply it and there is no puddling then just let it dry completely before walking on it.

Depending on the material you are sealing, some will soak a great deal and others very little. After applying you must wipe any excess remaining off as it will harden and be impossible to remove. It simply entails a quick wiping of the excess, not at all difficult

I used the sealer/enhancer on exterior flagstone and only had to blot with a towel indentations where sealer collected in little pools. Otherwise, I did not wipe stones overall and it turned out nicely.

I did Oklahoma stone that's pool coping. Instructions say to dab up any excess that pools as this isn't desirable when dried. I noticed on the third & final coat applied with a paint brush that small areas started staying behind. I just brushed it out/over the dryer parts of the stone. Like I said this was outdoor pool coping, and, for that purpose there is no wiping-polishing-buffing. Just let dry and keep dry (no rain) for 24 hours.

I've used a rag with a little bit of laundry detergent. Worked pretty good. Kept it out of reach from the little guy until it dried.

No need, just ensure your floor is very clean and dry. Also ensure temperature is 70+, leave tiles for 2 day in room, then apply.

No, I have owned this machine for many years (Dec 2009) and I have run everything through it. Bleach, Mr Clean, Lysol, Pet Floor, Oxy Clean (dissolved and run through a sieve), TSP, Murphy's (a favorite) and I have used "Dry Foam" (a non-aerosol encapsulating product you mix with water) from the commercial supply house to clean the short pile rugs I have by my doorways. The only things you can't run through it are flammable solvents. I run a clean water rinse through it after I use a corrosive cleaner like bleach before putting the Floormate away. I'm here buying a Floormate as a gift for my sister in law. So my own 4 year old Floormate is still going strong with all of these other cleaning products used.

The floor is slippery right after you apply the cleaner and wipe but dry's quickly. And is not slippery like other floor cleaners. Love it for quick clean of floors. Also you don't have to use on just wood floors, I use it on all my floors... tile, wood, etc.

No, you would have to remove the rugs or use barriers around them. Also, your hardwood floors should be sealed if you want to use Scooba on them.

Hi Kim. No, you do not need to seal your flooring. Sealing your flooring may void any manufacturers warranty and you should consult your manufacturer prior to installation. No, we have not had any reports of mold or mildew with this product. Be sure to test your concrete for high moisture levels if mold is/could be a concern.

Laminate is NOT sealed hardwood. You have small seams that the water vapor will get into. Please, please, please call your manufacture of the flooring and the steam mop and ask what they will do for you if the mop damages your floor. Likely at most replace the mop and the flooring manufacture likely voided your warranty the first time you steam mopped it. Even site finished hardwood a mop is not recommended. Your floor shrinks in low humidity which breaks the bonds between board in your floor. The vapor can and will work it's way into the floor in time and can cause the boards to warp. Please contact the manufacture or a hardwood expert for advice. Laminate is NOT sealed hardwood. You have small seams that the water vapor will get into.

I'm not sure if I understand the question, but I believe the answer is no. The directions state that the surface needs to be clean and dry and free of waxing or coatings. I take that to mean that all previous sealents need to be removed. I hope that helps.

With a damp rag after normal use. Every so often, we use a mild cleaner like Windex on it.

You need to use a wet rag. If they've been left on longer they'll be harder to wipe off

If your wood flooring is not a porous type wood and has a sealant on it then just spray our enzyme cleaner on it, allow to sit for a few minutes and then wipe up. If it is an old urine stain on your flooring, then spray the cleaner on the flooring and cover with a towel and allow to sit for a few hours then wipe up excess. Also thank you for bring this to our attention. We will make sure we add wood flooring application instructions to our email that is sent out when you purchase our 32 oz or gallon enzyme cleaner. Hope this helps and should you have any questions please dont hesitate to email us.

I used permanent carpet tape. However, that is if you don't care about the surface underneath.

I have sealed hardwood floors and it did a great job and did not damage them at all and I had to let the steam sit a bit as I was cleaning dried cat vomit (he did it in the night and we did not find it right away). I cleaned them with the steam mop and then gave them a quick polish with Bona and a microfiber mop they looked just like new!

Hi,No, this goes on the floor and the rubber piece from the garage door sits on top of it. When you close the garage door it creats a seal between the garage door and floor. I hope this helps.
