The bushel steam cleaner is super easy to use. The instructions are short and easy to follow. I have hardwood floors in my house and tiles in the kitchen and bathroom. I vacuumed first and then used the steamer. My floors were pristine! I haven't seen them as shiny since I first moved in. I also like that it sanitizes as I have pets who like to scoot their bootys on the floor. Also, it's pretty quiet so it doesn't bother the animals.
