January 13, 2024 - 4 min read

There’s nothing more satisfying than the view of quality hardwood floors shined to perfection and showing no evidence of breakfast crumbs, upturned toddler bowls and pet mess. Luckily, keeping your timber floors, tiles and vinyl at their sparkling best has never been easier, especially with a hard floor cleaner from Tineco in your cleaning squad.

“Brands like Tineco are changing the game in floor cleaning, combining the benefits of a vacuum, mop and now even a steam cleaner in one appliance, so you can tick off three jobs at once and reclaim your weekend,” says Nick Trajkovski, The Good Guys Buyer – Floorcare.

To get the lowdown on how to clean hardwood floors, tiles and other hard floor surfaces, we sat down with floorcare expert Nick. Read on for his top tips and tricks, as well as the Tineco cleaners that make the job simple.

What are the best cleaners for hard floors?

The ones that do all the hard work for you, of course, and Tineco cleaning appliances deliver a one-two punch to dirt, grime and dried-on stains. The Tineco One S6 Pro Extreme Hard Floor Cleaner is a cordless, lightweight vacuum and mop that takes care of wet and dry spills in a single pass. And for sanitised floors so shiny you can see your face in them, just add steam! In its One S7 Steam Hard Floor Cleaner, Tineco offers the ultimate three-in-one super appliance that vacuums, mops and steams for effortless cleaning.

“Steam cleaning is the simplest way to bring the sparkle back to sealed hardwood floors and tiles,” says Nick Trajkovski. “Over time, your hard floors can start to appear dull from a build-up of grime and cleaning solution residue, and mopping is no match for the bacteria that can accumulate. Steam cleaning can eliminate stubborn surface residue, reduce allergens that lurk there and make floors look good as new.”

Tip: Always check with your flooring manufacturer before using steam. Steam should not be used on unsealed wood, engineered wood, or laminate flooring.

Spot cleaning 101

Kids, pets and mess go hand in hand, but clean-ups are a breeze when you have an all-in-one extra hand for spot cleans!

“Regular upkeep of hard floors means you’ll have a more hygienic home, and whole-house cleans will be quicker and easier because the floors never get out of hand,” says Nick Trajkovski.

The Tineco One S7 Steam Hard Floor Cleaner is made for a quick floor fix. Its 140℃ hypersteam conquers any spill without the need for harsh chemicals and blitzes 99.9% of bacteria while it’s at it. For particularly sticky jobs – hello, cordial splash – Boost Steam Mode hits hard, or try Suction Mode to vacuum up that puddle of milk and cornflakes.

The family is coming over for Sunday lunch, so it’s time for a full-scale spruce-up of your floors. Easy.

“Whereas once you’d have to vacuum, mop, then hit floors with a steam cleaner for the ultimate shine, all you need to do with a Tineco Hard Floor Cleaner is pick up the kids’ toys, move furniture that’s blocking access to floors, and get to work,” says Nick Trajkovski. “One pass of your floors will remove debris, grime and bacteria and you’ll have time to put your feet up before the guests arrive.”

The Tineco One S7 Steam Hard Floor Cleaner has a 40-minute battery life, dual-sided Edge Cleaning that cleans within 5mm of baseboards, and iLoop Smart Sensors that automatically increase suction and steam power based on the floor’s condition. The other big winner in both the Tineco S7 and Tineco S6 vacuum mop is MHCBS technology. It removes dirty water and scrapes clean the mop brush during your clean, so you’re continually using fresh water for streak-free results.

How to clean your Tineco wet dry vacuum

Who cleans the cleaner? Not you! At the end of each cleaning session, all you need to do is empty the wastewater in your Tineco vacuum mop.

Just dock the Tineco One S7 Steam Hard Floor Cleaner and press the self-clean button and it will do the rest – a fresh water-and-steam cycle to clean the brush and vacuum tube, and centrifugal air-drying to prevent mildew growth and odours. You can even use tap water when you refill the clean water tank since it has a smart scale removal system.

“To put it simply, a well-maintained appliance gives a better clean and lasts longer,” says Nick Trajkovski.
