I'd like to hear y'all's recommendations for a steam floor cleaner. The house is eight years old and I'm feeling that the floors are not as clean as I'd like them to be despite the cleaning ladies' efforts.
I've got hardwood floors throughout and, according to the contractor it has "four coats of polyurethane." I'm an ORECK fan, so they are my first choice. However, there may be better choices. I'm listening! | ||

I have 2 cats and a 140 year old house. I have a HOOVER floor steamer. It's great. You can put the little "pan" on it and steam carpets AND mattresses. You can use plain water OR HOOVER solution. Got mine for only $69.00 THey sell for over $100.00 Best of luck. The other day, in a thrift store in Philly suburbs, I saw an ORECK "steamer" (for carpets, not hard floors) for $45.00 It's been there for 3 weeks now. Poor lonely little thing. | ||

I have a H20 Steam mop X5 from thane direct, it does the job brilliantly, and it would be ideal for wood floors, as you can adjust the heat of the steam.
It doesn't use chemicals, just tap water. But if you decide to buy one, make sure it's from thane.com as their are a lot of fakes on eBay and Amazon. I put a link to it. I hope this helps you decide! P.S. I am not a salesman from thane direct haha :P It's just a really good steamer! - Joe CLICK HERE TO GO TO Ultimatevacman's LINK | ||

Considering You Are an Oreck Fan
Why not check out the Orbiter? I had a Monster Steam mop for awhile, but there was hardly any advantage to using it over a sponge mop other than no chemicals were needed. You still have to make multiple passes over stains and once the pad gets dirty cleaning can get difficult. The Orbiter is amazing. Our laminate feels like new after each cleaning when used with Bruce chemicals. It truly is the ultimate consumer floor cleaning machine. Add the extra benefits of dry carpet cleaning abilities and the great warranty, a steam mop looks like a toy compared to the Orbiter.

Surprised no one has said it yet
Skip the steam mop go for a hoover floormate, i have a haan steamer and used a few others but i feel they don't really trap the dirt too well and that you may be smearing it around without knowing it. I feel the floormate though bulkier does a better job due to it putting down clean water then sucking it up.
