Do you know which model you you have? I am looking at getting one this weekend. How well do you think it vacuums before you mop? Does it pick up well enough that you don't have to sweep before using it?
Thanks

It is recommended to clean your floors at least once a week for general maintenance. However, high traffic areas or homes with pets may require more frequent cleaning.
The best way to clean hardwood floors is to use a microfiber mop or cloth with a mild cleaning solution specifically designed for wood floors. Avoid using excess water or harsh chemicals, as they can damage the wood.
It depends on the type of flooring you have. Steam mops are not recommended for hardwood or laminate floors, as the heat and moisture can cause damage. They are safe to use on tile or vinyl floors.
The best way to remove tough stains from floors is to use a specific cleaning product for that type of stain. For example, a grease stain on tile floors can be removed with a degreaser, while a pet stain on carpet may require a pet stain remover. Always test the product on a small, inconspicuous area first.
Vinegar is a popular natural cleaning solution, but it is not recommended for all types of flooring. It can damage hardwood and laminate floors, but is safe to use on tile or vinyl. Always dilute vinegar with water before using on floors, and avoid using it on stone or marble floors.
