Could this be used to clean small floor areas?

Yes, I do this in my bathrooms, which are tile, and along grout lines, plus I have used it in small areas of hardwood floors, but made sure I kept it moving.

Yes! Most definitely. I used my shark to clean my tiled kitchen floor. The pattern of the tile has a lighter color; which the shark was able to clean so the contrast of color is fully appreciated. When using the shark on my floors, I can apply a cleaning agent to the floor, to maximize the steam cleaning power. I use the shark on tile and vinyl flooring. I wish there was an extension to the shark to allow me to stand while I clean the floors.

I agree with the other commenter...This is would not be an ideal choice for rugs/carpet. It does a great job picking up small debris on tile and hardwood flooring as well as food crumbs, etc. on upholstered furniture when used as a hand vac.

Yes. I used it on my bathroom tile floor with Lysol cleaner. I'd suggest you try a test spot with cleaner to decide on brush or scrubbing pad.

Absolutely!!! I use it on my tiled kitchen floor. I love it. I vacuum my floor to get up all of the dust and crud and then I go over it with the steamer. I throw the pad in the wash with my towels and lay it to dry. I'm very happy that I bought it.

I used it to clean a stain off the carpet and it worked. I can't see why it wouldn't work on area rugs. Don't leave the steam wand in one place for too long though.

Yes definitely. Use with the dry mop they recommend. It leaves the floor shiny.

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 think it would be fine for a small rug. I only use it to clean a bedroom carpet and it works pretty well. My carpet will usually dry in less than four hours. It is not as powerful as my first carpet cleaner, but overall, I am pleased with it's performance. I do miss the hand held attachment for concentrating on some stains instead of the ole' soap and a scrub brush routine, but it works.

Hey there,I would agree. It works best on hardwood floors and short carpet.Thanks!

Yes it can. However, would I recommend cleaning sensitive electronic equipment with a floor vacuum? No I would not. If you are using the unit only to clean the cpu and keyboard that is fine. However, if you are using it for any other use it will have an inherent level of dust that can and will harm sensitive equipment. Also, this unit may be cumbersome to use to get into the nooks and crannies as it is larger than those vacs designed to clean computers. I suppose the choice to use it this way is up to the individual, but I personally would not.

I have used mine on our short carpet floors, but it does not work very well on carpet.

yes, it works great for small areas. You would not use it to vacuum the entire bottom of a pool.

Yes. It'll get you by for a few mopping jobs. I would suggest you order a set of cleaning pad refills and solution. I've been using the general solution so cannot tell you how effective the bare floor solution is.

It cleans, it is not too strong, is not heavy enough to really get a good scrub, only on light dirty floors.

Depends. This is a very low power unit I use on no-pyle carpet to tidy up in a church fellowship area and it does a good job. The suction area is small as is the canister. It's great to tidy up but I don't think I'd use it for cleaning.

I haven't done this yet. I guess you could. It would just do a small area at a time,

It can, but it's not really a rug/carpet cleaner. It can be used to "refresh" rugs and carpets, but it won't really get them clean. I hope you find this response helpful.
