Oh my goodness! Where to start?! I have approximately 1,100 sq ft of hardwoods on my bottom floor. I have wanted to try the Steam Cleaner but never got around to it. Sooo very glad so did! What s breeze to thoroughly clean and basically sanitize all my rooms. Especially the "cat" room. I have eleven rescues and this definitely does the trick! No harsh chemicals and fresh! My life just got alot easier! Not to mention the three tile bathrooms I have. Just take the pads off and wash. What a blessing! And by the way, I'm in a wheelchair! So easy, wow!
