Surface compatibility comes first
Some hardwood, laminate, resilient or sealed floors may restrict steam use; follow the flooring manufacturer’s care instructions.
Traditional mops are flexible
Manual mops can use plain water or approved cleaners without electrical components at floor level.
Steam is not automatically better
Heat does not make a device suitable for every surface or every soil.
Storage and cord management
Powered steam units need dry storage and safe electrical use.
