I sprayed this all over my bathroom floor and let it dry. How long before I can wash my floor, and what with? I was thinking vinegar (also deterrent).

When I use this product, I normally spray the area and then wipe clean, or scrub pretty quickly after.

Good question! I got some on the sink and had to scrub with bathroom cleaner. That's a definite drawback of the product.

This product works well on our bamboo flooring, but I don't leave it on long. Just spray, then wipe up.

Consider: Is your flooring sealed, as with varnish or stain? Are there spaces between the boards where fleas may crawl? Are infected People or pets coming in and out from outside?All these can cause poor results. Use more of a coating (rather than a dusting) to your floors, and restrict access to affected areas for 3 consecutive days, and dust around outside entryways where people and animals trod before they enter the house. Thanks!

Why not use nature's miracle on the grout or white vinegar.( I have a dog and that's what I did when she was a puppy) I don't know if the steamer would help.

This stuff really works. I applied to vinyl floors in my kitchen. It made the floor REALLY slippery but worked. Be careful with this stuff. Cover yourself when you use it.

Actually I have tried using very hot water on the floors with nothing in it and it works well, also tends to dry without streaking. Unless the floors are pretty dirty than I will use a mild soap and very little just to get dirt off or the vinegar mixture, after that go back to just very hot water. Hope that helps.

If you are going to use it you would probably need to use it on the entire floor so it's even. I don't recommend it at all. I've had to clean my floors with vinegar SEVERAL times to remove the residue this stuff left behind

I recently used some on my bed and did not wash the sheets immediately after, and I had no problem. If you have sensitive skin, you might want to spray the mattress instead of the sheets, then put clean sheets on after the mattress is dry. According to the directions, you should not breathe this stuff, so I would recommend leaving the house for about an hour. This is not a fogger, so there isn't a cloud of stuff in the air, but it does need some time to dry on the surfaces you spray it on. Once it's dry, it should be safe for your pets to walk on. Be sure to do all the carpets/rugs, upholstered furniture and mattresses. I recently used some on my bed and did not wash the sheets immediately after, and I had no problem.

It is basically vinegar and water, which is great for wood laminate floors. However, for the $8+ cost per bottle, I just went out and bought vinegar and water to put in the bottle when it was used up.

It's your fabric softner. When you wash your clothes next time, add 1/2 cup of vinegar in place of liquid fabric softner. You might have to do this a few times. I had this problem mostly with bathroom towels because I love them soft and fluffy, but the problem was too much of a build up on them. The vinegar will also wash your washer of any buildup. Good luck!

I never try vinegar & murphy oil. Bona works for me my floors look like brand new. I clean them once a week with Bona & dust them every other day.

I just use soap and water. I was it out right away and make sure it dries completely. I'm sure some kind of cleaning solution would work hopefully...

Sal suds is perfect for this job! You do need to mix it with water before putting in on the floor. One teaspoon per galon of water is plenty! Good luck :)

The manual spesifies only Hover Cleaning products.http://content.abt.com/documents/52884/FH40160_manual.pdfHowever I have used a light bleach/water on tiled floors with the older model for over a year, it did not cause any problems. Since vinegar is water soluble you should be fine.

On laminate and tile I use vinegar and water. On hardwood I use Bono hardwood floor cleaner. If cleaning pet mess I have used woolite pet stain spray.
