Or try Bona, my favorite. Bona's microfiber cleaning pads may also fit the mop and they last forever. Have washed mine about 50 times/yr over the over the last 5 years (= about 250 times), still work like new. I left Swiffer in the dust a looong time ago. Way too expensive in the long run.

I use a 1:4 mix of regular Listerine and warm water on my ceramic/porcelain tile floors. Weird, right? It's too strong for my mouth so I repurposed it. It's relatively inexpensive, antibacterial, and has the added benefit of opening your sinuses and freshening the air!

The best to clean the floor is vinegar!! It's not toxic, cleans the floor-no matter what kind of tile floor you have-very good and shines...and there is something else that l'm using for fragrance, it's Mr.Clean Gain, smells so good and as well cleans the floor very good.

I just use vinegar and warm water. I tried to use Simple Green but it left smear marks on the floor.

You did not say what kind of tile floor - I assume you are talking about ceramic or vinyl. For those floors, I use 1/2 cup white vinegar mixed with one gallon of warm water.

I've used "Amaziing Solutions" with hot water on my grout and tile floors. No stains here. I like this product for all over the house. Carpet, tile, kennel trays, and the awkward areas my male decides to aim on, lol

OK--Here's what I do. I just removed years of buildup with this method . I have parquet flooring that were dulled from of never really cleaning floor and tried many products- like Bono. Here's what I did-- I put rubbing alcohol in a spray bottle undiluted. I sprayed it on a portion of floor to test it first. Spray on and let it sit for a few minutes. I used a little plastic curly pot scrubber in the direction of the grain and it practically lifted the accumulation by itself without a lot of pressure. Follow immediately with a slightly dampened microfiber cloth. I did my entire floor on my hands and knees using plain old alcohol. It evaporates very quickly and unlike water, will not damage wood. You will find that the old floor shine will form black "nubbies" which you swipe into a dustpan and brush. I carefully researched how-to's and found that windex works as well because it contains alcohol. The key ingredient here is the alcohol- just like the nurse rubs it on before a shot to remove skin oil and disinfect, it does the same on floor. This experience really changed my whole approach to hardwood maintenance. QucikShine is something I will never use again. It's not healthy for the wood. My alcohol stripped floors have a beautiful glow, and I will keep them that way by vacuuming up dust and swiffering often That's what the experts recommend. Twice a year is all the deep cleaning your floor needs to last a long time. Hope this helps. I'm crazy clean!

it works on my floors. I like it:) The only issue I have had is sometimes it doesn't spread evenly, so you have to make sure you have a good pad and keep it moistened and use enough polish :) Good luck.

I am not sure if it safe on a glossy tile. I used it on a non glossy and it was fine. I would guess that no its not safe because it contains bleach. My advice would be to call up a place that sells marble tiles and see if they have a specific cleaner. Just to be safe.....

Oh boy . . . . my answer is that I have never felt the need to 'remove' Quick Shine? My cleaning routine is to steam clean my wood floor followed by a coat of Quick Shine . . . BUT, I only do this every two to three months. In between I use a gentle floor cleaner (for everyday dirt) and the shine remains. So, I guess the answer to the question is that the steamer I use on occasion must be what takes the shine off? I honestly never thought about it before because I have never experienced any build-up (maybe due to the steamer?).

It is not a floor polisher, however is used correctly my floors glow, so maybe that is what your trying to achieve, my floors are laminent and fairly new 3-4 years old,never been waxed so they have a shine if they are cleaned properly. Before using my haan the always had a haze and didn`t shine the hot steam disenfects well but best of all if used properly it dries fast resulting in a shine that I hadn`t seen since the floor was installed.

I use a steam cleaner, but found that it is not appropriate for my wood floors. Use it on ceramic or tile, but for wood you only need to damp mop after using this product.

I would not use this product. I used it on my wood and tile floors and ended up with a mess. I had to hand clean & rinse the floors and the residue left took several cleanings to fully remove.

What kind of spots? Shoes? Dirt? I really like this product and I have used it on many different types of floors and they all looked good. When my bottle starts to run low, I add a bit of water and for some reason... It works even better. And to answer your question... Yes! It does a good job on bamboo floors. What I do is I put the product in a spray bottle. I go around spraying the floors (it starts softening the dirt and grime) and then I use a damp bona pad. It never fails.

My unsealed floor tile grout is a mess and I hate it. The green apple cleaner works better than anything else I have tried. Unfortunately it just gets dirty again.

I think it works fine (but don't leave in one spot longer than others, I have noticed a definite difference in the color when I did). I have found that 'Bar Keeper's Friend' (a powder cleaner available at most grocery stores) works just as well as is not as pricey.. (this was recommended by a tile installer I know, and has worked well).

I use mine on tiled floors almost daily, it does a great job. I put a little Lysol in the water, works wonderfully for pet odors. It does get the grout as well. Love it.

Just sprinkle on the carpet and work in with either a hand brush for small areas, or rent the Host carpet cleaning machine for a whole room clean. This would not work on tile grout. The product looks like sawdust.

I use Quick Shine Deep Cleaner on my tile floor only. I can only attest that, left on the floor for a good 15 minutes, the old wax and embedded dirt "melts" away. Good stuff! Now, on laminate floors, I have no idea. However, you can try it on a small part of the laminate floor that is usually not visible and make the test there to see if the wax is removed. Only thing, though, I use a lot of water with the Quick Shine Deep Cleaner and let it set on the floor. I understand laminate floors are unforgiving when a lot of water is applied, causing the floor to buckle. Try a small amount. Good luck! I use Quick Shine Deep Cleaner on my tile floor only.

A late answer to an old question but I need to emphasize DO NOT use a steam mop on any wood flooring that has any wax, floor shine or cleaner applied to it. I only use our steam mop on tile (and no it does NOT clean the grout.)

I wouldn't recommend it on tile/vinyl floors, I have never used it on them, but it does leave a bit of "spillover" when you go from carpet to vinyl floors & it doesn't seem to suck up this spillover very well. It might work good to scrub the floors, but you still might have to mop up some of the water/soap left behind.
