Can you use a steam cleaner on carpets laid over hardwood floor?
Yes you can as long as you are not concerned about damaging the underlying floor. If the floor is old and the finish in unimportant to you, you are fine. If you are looking at steam cleaning an area rug which is on a hardwood floor, that’s a definite no-no and the as the water and steam can stain or buckle the hardwood.
