Yes, the "user" ruined the finish, not the steam mop. I had a lady in our church "melt" our church vacuum. She said she "smelled" something, but just kept on using it. It was plugged solid.
Looks like someone didn't read the instruction booklet. It specifically states not to leave it stand idle when turned on for this very reason. Sorry to hear about your floor, though.
So not sharks fault they can't predict people are gonna go off and then remember they have a steam mop turned on. Your title on this is most ridiculous thing by far you ruined your own floor from being a cabbage 😂😂
I replaced half of the oak hardwood floor in one of my spare bedrooms, and had it professionally stained and sealed. Had an ironing board set up, unplugged the iron and left it on top of board to cool when i left the room. The German Shepherd i had must have gone in and bumped the legs. 10 years later the floor still has a permanent and perfect brand from the iron, that fell face down onto the wood. Even though that dog has passed on I’m still grateful it was the floor and not my dog that got burned. Now its impossible to forget her.
If you have extra planks, it can be fixed. Also it was close to the wall making it easier to lift the damaged ones. Every thing has a solution. Call a handyman with flooring experience. You will be ok.👌
I've done this. A quick sand and stain will set it right, it may be hard to get the EXACT stain but maybe you'll get lucky like I did and it's only noticable if you're really really looking for the spot and I'd still have to tell you where it is 😂
Oh no! I use the shark steam mop but have been noticing it's not clean! When I go back over my floors they are dirty. Sorry about your floor. I just watched a video of a girl using o cedar mop with a tide pod and a splash of Mr clean. Tide is also great for carpets!
Must have left it there for some time. Mine has never done that, and I've left it to warm up, but I never leave it more than a minute. Those mops heat up fast.
Aww so sorry you had to learn that the hard way.... Hot steamy water absolutely penetrates wood flooring fast; like 2 minutes equals 2 years under water. I do custom flooring & FYI you can actually let it dry a few weeks, then sand and re-stain it. VERY difficult if not impossible to get it to look perfect but hey,you can get it smooth again at least and the color differences will give your floor that rustic character lol (it will tho seriously & at least you killed absolutely any each and every microbe in that spot... at least for the time being hehehe. Best if luck to you. I hope you were able to get it to look as good as possible as you’re right, those are gorgeous floors. Again, character is cool. Lol
Can you please advise us to how best to eliminate/kill Giardia from our LVP. We adopted a kitten and a month later I found out that she tested positive for Giardia. The only thing that kills Giardia is bleach and hot steam.
Everybody here is saying you shouldn't leave it on the floor in one place. That's only half of the problem. The other half of the problem is that you're not supposed to use steam mops on these types of flooring. The steam app will work the entire floor like this over time. Damp mops only people. If you're reading this and you're using a steam mop on your plank flooring stop now. You're going to regret it. There's no way to fix it and you're going to have to replace the entire floor. Also wipe up spills immediately. Get a spin mop. Damp mopping only!
Omg girl !!!!!! You had me run to the living room to get my steamer off the floor I had just finished cleaning up. Omg. I’m sorry you had to experience this. I would be so upset but it’s okay there’s always a way to fix things. How ?? Lol don’t ask me. I just got my steamer today lol
If this is real hardwood and not Luxury Vinyl you should "never steam clean hardwood". it will most definitely warp over time, even if it looks ok after you do it. Hardwood is not meant to be heated and cooled with a water application. Always use a cleaner specific for hardwood.
This is misinformation and there is a lot of it going around. Using a steam mop on the lowest setting will produce only a very small layer of steam “much less than you will get from using a swiffer wet pad”. You will have no problems if you use a low setting and go over it with 1-2 passes.
Lol. This is a user error, not the mops fault. It is stated very specifically in the manual to never leave it on sitting in one place, always keep it moving. Very misleading title.
It’s your fault. Also that wood is not the original good type of wood. Never leave hot objects unattended with kids and pets in the house. Not even alone period.
Ok folks we all get it she made an error she even said she knows she messed up, it was an how stupid mistake no need to make her feel worse ! Smh. Now what would be nice is some tips on how to fix it instead of judging her !
I dont want to sound harsh since its already been said but maybe your title should be more about how you failed to follow directions instead of deflecting blame to the company.. Something like How I ruined my hardwood floors..dont let it happen to you..etc
Watch out for her next video criticizing the iron because it ruined a shirt she left it sitting on for 10 minutes while she was preparing her slim fast.
That's on you!
Always read the booklet! It specifically states not to let it sit in one place while on.

Not supposed to use steam mops on lvp or any plank flooring. It WILL warp it over time. She shouldn't even have this mop in her house.
Click bait is real the mop didn’t ruin it ... the user did
You cant leave it in one place... looks like she forgot it was on and walked off.
Yep, I sure did!
IN THAT ORDER
Turn the boot tray around so that mistake is covered. RULE #1. STEAM WILL DO THAT.
Did you even watch the video?
So not sharks fault they can't predict people are gonna go off and then remember they have a steam mop turned on. Your title on this is most ridiculous thing by far you ruined your own floor from being a cabbage 😂😂

You can't blame the steam mop that was on you never leave anything with heat unattended

Cant leave it in one spot, also for use on sealed hardwood, im not sure if that is sealed. Sorry about the floor though.
Sorry to see this happiness to you dear but
This specific mop don't take any time to make steam .
Must have left it there for some time. Mine has never done that, and I've left it to warm up, but I never leave it more than a minute. Those mops heat up fast.

thanks for the advice!

Is that laminate floor? It looks like it. It’s beautiful whatever it is and that sucks
That is a vinyl or laminate flooring. Not too hard to replace.
Mine cost $4000. That’s hard to replace in my book.
Awee. I’m so sorry this happened!
Thanks for the heads-up, I just bought this system.
I am so sorry !! Your wooden floor is very good looking, Sorry you made the mistake. How are you covering it up?
I didn't 🙃
Just did this to an older vinyl floor. Melted the finish off.
Easy mistake to make, glad i've seen this actually as it will stop me doing it.
WELL I just dished out 80 bucks on this bad boy and 4 extra pads. Glad as frekin glad to know it cleans well lololol

Sorry but your ruined your own floor. 🤦🏻♀️
It said specifically in the instructions not to leave it wet on the floor
Everybody saying "that's on you" and all that... Uh, duh! She literally says "I'm so mad at myself"... Don't be jerks.
At least your mop works.
dont blame the machine babe. blame yourself! I would have cleaned it for you free of charge!
Omg girl !!!!!! You had me run to the living room to get my steamer off the floor I had just finished cleaning up. Omg. I’m sorry you had to experience this. I would be so upset but it’s okay there’s always a way to fix things. How ?? Lol don’t ask me. I just got my steamer today lol
You have to keep a steam mop moving on laminate floors. I’m sorry that happened. ☹️
turned it on and walked away.Great

its just common sense that hot appliances have gotta be kept moving
Thank you for sharing. Good to know! #microshading
Multitasking gone wrong... left for longer then intended dont blame the streamer I guess it's a warning for others
Wow!
That's user error. I'm not being mean. It's just tough to safely use a steamer on laminate.
Cant leave it in one spot for too long... that's just common sense honey
Turn the wood upside down
Don't believe you - its not the same shape
I did that to my floor with my last VAX steam mop, gutted oops 😳 !
Oh no!!!
You ruined your own floor not the steam mop
It steamed half my eye brows off to! 😩
Just watched another video they said to iron it 🤷🏻♀️
Thank you for sharing your mistake.
Clean more often
No YOU ruined your floor with the steam mop. Smh. You can't use steam mops on plank flooring. Only damp mops like a spin mop.
Lol. This is a user error, not the mops fault. It is stated very specifically in the manual to never leave it on sitting in one place, always keep it moving. Very misleading title.
It’s your fault. Also that wood is not the original good type of wood. Never leave hot objects unattended with kids and pets in the house. Not even alone period.

"don't make the mistake I did"...seems like you ruined your floor not Shark
I dont want to sound harsh since its already been said but maybe your title should be more about how you failed to follow directions instead of deflecting blame to the company..
Something like How I ruined my hardwood floors..dont let it happen to you..etc
You should not have left it sitting on the floor. It's not the mops fault.
You probably thought everyone would feel sorry for you. Well you're the one who left it on hon.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
No sharks fault your read the instructions and who in there righ mind leave any kind of mop lying on a floor
You have an incredibly misleading title, this was your fault, not the steam mops.
U ruined it because u didn’t follow instructions why the hell would u leave the heat mop in like that on floor ? Omg girl u are nuts !!
What’s up with your eyebrow 🤔😊
Vacuum ruined it as well🤣
I can’t unsee that now
You forgot and left it while it was still on. So basically You ruinnes your floor not shark steam mop fault. LOL
So dumb, can't believe she thought that a hot floor mop being left on the same spot wouldn't damage the floor!!!!!
Shark did not do this! Your lack of attention to the task at hand did, maybe write an accurate title for your video next time.
Why did you blame it on the steamer. Clearly done for views. Shame on you.
Watch out for her next video criticizing the iron because it ruined a shirt she left it sitting on for 10 minutes while she was preparing her slim fast.
