I use steam to bend wood, so I definitely wouldn't use a steam cleaner on a wood floor.

Thank you scrivens, I will keep it off the wooden floors then!
You can buy a special steam cleaner for wooden floors. I think it is a Vax. I bought one for my daughter and she uses it on her floor.

Thanks Carole, will look into that.
Whilst I have no idea, I do have an opinion :-) I would have thought it would depend on how well the wood was sealed. For sure you risk it swelling up if not fully isolated from the outside world with a thick coating of something unlikely to wear off. Why not ask the floor manufacturer or company that lay it for you, for advice ?
Depends on what sort of a steam cleaner you are considering. If it as a steam mop and the floor is very well sealed with a urethane finish or something similar I would.
If the finish is patchy or "oiled" definitely not.
