Ok guys, this is the first I've seen on the Shark. How does it do on stone flooring? The only thing I have been able to use is vinegar, and in the kitchen, that doesn't always cut the grease, but any of the cleaners dull the finish. Please reply, because I will be in Fresno on Friday and could pick one up at WM

I didnt think you could use the shark on laminate flooring, does it really work and wont warp the flooring?

Great for soaking tired/swollen feet - 1/2 gallon warm water and 3 TBS white vinegar! My Dr. told me to do this when I broke my toe.
that recipe also cures athletes feet. vinegar is just plain good stuff.

hey, i used to clean houses and had a particularly bad shower to do.
Used Sani-flush on it and made it sparkle. Not sure if they sell that anymore.
I've wanted a shark vacuum cleaner. They are in the consumer reports digest and get excellent ratings! :XD:

[quote=I have heard that the steam shark is not good for laminated floors as it leaves to much water behind and it allows the water to penetrate the seams causing them to swell[/quote]

no. i've got a shark and the floor is practically dry when you "pull back". haven't had any problems.

my son dropped a dr pepper on the floor. wiped it up and "sharked" it. one time, all clean, no sticky. the old mop would have taken a coupla times to ge the sticky up.

I've been wanting to buy the shark. I only hear good things about it. Maybe one of these days.

I don't have a Shark Steam Cleaner but I have an Oreck Steam Cleaner and I love it. My floors come out so bright and shiny. Steam cleaning is the way to go.

This is the small shark sweeper - uses puffs of steam - not like a steam cleaner used on rugs and other surfaces. No water left behind. Fine - actually great on laminate. Of course, my floor is a "floating" floor - not glued down!!
