Steam Cleaner for ceramic kitchen floor

Any of you use a steam cleaner on ceramic floors ? or do you all get down on your hands and knees ?

Are they any good, and what brands do you recommend ?

Hi trixybird ,I use one in my job from time to time , I even use it on a laminated floor surface also ,there brilliant , the one i use is a karacher make (soz if spelling is wrong ) The lady i work for has a small child with astma and allergies and she has been using one herself also for many years and it has never damaged her flooring , hope that helps xxxdk

Wow that was quick - thanks DK, does it have an on and off button ( sounds daft but some you have to hold the button down and I have probs with my hands )

Yes hun it has ,and it has different settings plus loads of attachments ie windows cookers ,floors , oven etc its brill i think she bought it from argos or failing that homebase xxdk

Can you use one of those carpet cleaner things on a hard floor ?

Not sure of the technical term - like an upright hoover that has water in it.

We're cleaning the carpets today (after the chocolate vomit etc) and wondered if it would do quarry tiles ????

Part of job is to clean floors every week...wooden, ceramic, vinyl, carpet.

On my ceramic floors, I use a buffing machine with a scrubbing brush attachment. I 'trigger spray' cleaning solution onto the floor and then scrub away. I then suck up the residue with a wet-vac.

I hired an industrial steam cleaner to clean the kids toilets, but I wasn't very impressed. It made a lot of steam (obviously), made the floor very wet, but didn't clean the muck off that I intended it to clean.

there is a new bissell out which does something similar - might be worth a look .... the one dk is talking about is a karcher i think - yellow and black ??

Well, I have a Bissell Oxy Pro which does hard flloors as well as carpets, it does a great job on carpets, and I have used it on the tiles in the conservatory, it cleaned them a treat but leaves the floor too wet, so you still have to use the mop afterwards to mop up if you follow me
