I am looking for a machine to scrub uneven slate floors. Would this be a good choice? Also, does the remove the water or do you need to mop afterward

You would need the brown scrub brushes they are a optional part.. Use with the Aerus tile cleaner then the tile polish... And yes it needs to be mopped afterwards

If you want something to clean the hard floor, it would be best to try a machine like the swiffer wet jet or swiffer vac. This machine is made for carpeted floors, its not for wood or vinyl flooring. I've never come across a machine that will actually wash both. There are sine steamer cleaners for hard floors that I have been interested in getting but aren't a priority to me personally.

I just got mine, but we bought my mother this mop about 5 years ago from bed, bath and beyond and she is having no problems. I just mopped my floors yesterday, I wish shark would of included like a scrubber pad type thing. If you have like greasy dirt on floor, this mop will not clean it, I have to manually remove the grime. I found spraying a little floor cleaner on the dirty area first helps. Good suction on the broom vacuum part.

I use tap water. It works just fine. I recommend buying extra cleaning pads too. You'll find reasons to mop longer when you see how clean your floor ends up.

I can not answer you for certain because I do not have slate floors; however, when I bought mine I bought an extra head. The extra head allows me to take off after using and put it through the washing machine and still have a mop to the ready. With this system I think you would be happy and "get your money's worth" because the Libman Wonder Mop is truly tough fiber.........however, that is just one person's opinion. I have a rough tile floor on my "Summer Room" and it works fine there and does not seem to show signs of break down or ware.

I've been using the Braava 320 for the past month on dark chocolate tiled floors which are extremely subject to human and pet footprints. We are very happy with the unit's performance, it does a great job mopping, I just wished I had read that it does not come with the Reservoir Pad to keep the cloth wet. Instead of buying one now, we've decided to use a glass of wter and leave small puddles here and there

There are two tanks; one for clean water with the floor cleaner, the other is empty till you switch to sucking up the dirty water. The machine is rather heavy, but it does a fine job. If however, you want the cleaning lady to use it., forget it. She will make excuses like it leaves water on the floor, which is not true. She just wants to quickly move the mop over the floor and be done with cleaning it. A patient job will take longer than running over with a swifter or mop. But it is is far finer and better looking when done with the Hoover Floor Mate.

Really well. I cleaned my grout before I got the machine and it had kept it nice. I have found that I do need to do a clear water rinse or the tile is a bit streaky.

The mop head can swivel to the other side of the mop which would be clean again. I also have the heavy duty mop which has one side that is very thick piling (is great for wood floors) and the other side is the terry cloth. I love both of them!

Mine was used on hardwood, vinyl, and stone. Unfortunately I had to send mine back after a few months because it quit working. Right now I'm just dampening a swiffer dry cloth and cleaning the floors with vinegar and water solution. Sorry, but I've gone through 2 brands of steamer mops, and think I'll just quit while I'm ahead.

I am wondering the same question. This mop is horrible. After I step the foot pedal like 10 times, mop head is still dripping when I squeeze with my hands. It leaves streaks marks and floor takes forever to get dry.

Sorry I don't know about slate flooring, I know for a fact it is the best for cleaning hardwood, tile, laminate and linoleum. I would definitely be worth your investment to purchase a scrap piece and give it a try.

I bought the entire kit with mop( it's Excellent and oh so easy). First I spray Bellawood spray cleaner on the floor and go over it with the mop and I'm done in no time . I Love it !!

I have used my mop about 6 times and a big chunk is out of the sponge part. I still think it is a great mop; mostly for the brush that sticks out in the front for scrapping hard stuck on spots off the floor. I bought a replacement sponge ( not that expensive) and will replace the original one soon. I also like how long the broom handle is as I am tall with long arms and it handles well for me. I only use my broom on smooth wood floors.

It works fantastic on tile or laminate. So well that when I steam mop there is very little dirt on the mop head. Very powerful suction. I have 7 indoor/outdoor animals so this machine is a must.

It doesn't mop the floor. It is a sweeper that works really well! I have two - one upstairs and one downstairs. It picks up all kinds of messes and on the underside, there is a tray that traps the dirt. You can empty it by pushing a button on the top of the sweeper. Occasionally you need to turn the sweeper over and remove any dog hair/lint/threads caught in the brushes. I LOVE it and it is so helpful when you make a mess! :)

Hea, I have some sealed hardwood floors and from time to time I ring the mop out a couple of times and use it as a moist dust mop and it works beautifully! I also have an enclosed porch with slate and grout floor and it also works great on it as well. I will tell you as others that when I bought the mop I bought an extra head so that each time I moped I could throw the dirty into the washing machine and wash it with my throw rugs. I love the mop! I hope this helps you.
