No. Most floors are polyurethaned. The oil has no were to go and with the dirt that all floors collect, mixes with the oil and become grime. In time the oil will get through to the wood and permanently damage your floor. It isextremely hard to clean off. The best cleaners are an alcohol based. Generally, any product that claims to shine your wood floors, is bad.

If you already Murphy's Oil Soap on the floor, you will need to get it off as soon as possible. Since the oil in Murphy's is vegetable oil, glass cleaner like windex will clean it off. After this, you don't want to use glass cleaners for your wood floors. The ammonia in the cleaner is what cuts the Murphy's but can also damage your floor with prolonged use.

Why does the shark steam cleaner package show hardwood floors if it is not recommended for use on hardwood floors?

They are marketing, selling and making money from selling MORE shark steamers. NOT from taking care of your flooring investment... They are not experts in flooring and May or may not know that water loves wood in all the wrong ways! The "Wood in the commercial may be laminate or some other "Wood" look alike item, you may be assuming that its wood. Murphy's Oil Soap has been doing the same thing for as long as I can remember. It should NEVER be used on wood but that's not the message the commercials give.
