Steam cleaner for Karndean floors?

Has anyone used a steam cleaner on Karndean floors? Does the steam loosen the tiles?

If you have found that it works OK, what make cleaner have you used?

Thanks
Smile and be happy, things can usually get worse!

    Do not , I repeat do not use a steam cleaner.
    The heat and steam will effect the glue that was used when the flooring was first laid and if your floor was latexed then there is a potential issue with that cracking as well.

    Buy yourself a karndean maintenance kit. Inside are all the proper cleaners etc to get your floor back looking almost as new.

    Hve a look at their guide for maintenance HERE
