Cleaning Floors with Carpet Shampooer

floors. The problem that I have is what to use as "shampoo."
I have been using regular carpet shampoo, but that leaves a
sort of film on the floors.
Do any of you use your carpet shampooer to clean the floors?
What do you use for shampoo?

Hoover makes a floor scrubber that's a light weight version of the
carpet shampooer. Home Depot, Walmart and other stores sell the
cleaner as well as the non-foaming tile floor and wood floor cleaners
that a small sample of each comes with the floor scrubber.
The tile floor cleaner is made by Lysol and the wood floor cleaner is
made by Old English. I have the floor scrubber and the cleaning
liquids and they both work very well.
*However*, I also have a Hoover carpet cleaner that I no longer use
because we have all hardwood and linoleum floors in this house. Had I
even had one firing synapse, I would of done the same thing as you and
used the carpet cleaner instead of going out and buying a smaller
version of the same thing.
*sigh*...

Vinyl tile and hardwood, but both are in poor condition and
will eventually be replaced/covered. So I'm not worried about
damaging the floors.

Use what the owner's manual recommends. I found that hand washing the
floor with household ammonia and some liquid soap (Spic and Span,
Lysol, or Mr Clean) cleans best. The machines just can not get into
corners and crevices very well. The ammonia does an excellent job,
but it will dull the floor. In between hand scrubbings, I use a
Swiffer (fast, easy, quiet, stores in a small space conveniently in
the pantry). I too have a Hoover SteamVac, but I use it on the
carpeting, both home and auto.
