S/O cleaning - steam mops?

[thedahliharpa]

Does anyone have love for their steam mop? Tell me what you have and why you like/don't like it. Having a bigger kid means our floors are even harder to keep clean. I like the idea that they kill germs but if it is a PITA to use it won't be used often.

I have the Shark steam mop. This one: www.amazon.com/Euro-Pro-Shark-S3601-Professional-Pocket/dp/B004KL7JYA/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1357943177&sr=8-2&keywords=shark+steam+mops

I really like it. I had a smaller Shark for awhile which I liked for just daily mopping, but it didn't do a great job of really scrubbing. This one does a much better job with that. I still have to really clean the floor by hand every month or so, but it works really well if you want something quick and easy. I also like that all you use is water, no chemicals. Oh, and it is VERY user friendly.

eta: Mine came from Costco, and was under $100 I think.

The thing with steam mops is that in order to sanitize, you need to stay on the same spot for 15 seconds or something like that...it would take forever to sanitize my floors.

The steam mop is good for getting stuck on or sticky stuff off, but I don't rely on it to sanitize the floors b/c I am not patient enough to count to 15 and them move 8 inches over.

I have a bissel I think..it is mint green and I got it in 2009 so I doubt it is still on the market.

I seriously love mine. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000DF0RB/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00 it's a real powerhorse. It costs more than most of the mops you find in stores but it is more versitle.

I feel like it takes forever when I use it.

I love mine. It's a eureka envirosteamer. Gets hotter than most others and does a great job. Now if I could just make myself use it more often

I love mine. I have this one www.thane.ca/h2o-mop-ultra/ I hate cleaning and never find the time so I like this because I can clean the floors fast. I probably would never clean them if I didn't have this mop. However, I only use it on my ceramic floors, DH won't let me use it on the hard wood in case the water "ruins" the floors. Also this one comes with a removable hand held steamer, but I never use it.

Me too but our whole house is wood and tile. I have a shark vac then steam. It works really good but takes forever.

I also have a Shark Steam Mop and like it. I add Tea Tree Oil to the water in mine because it is a natural antiseptic so I feel like it really ensures that the floor gets clean.

I mostly like my Shark but I noticed it doesn't get the corners good (where the floor meets the cabinet) so I have to do that part separately.

I love my shark steam mop! My favorite thing about it is that the floors dry much quicker than mopping, so I get less paw prints from the dog all over the place.

We also have the Shark Steam mop. DH loves it.

Love my shark. It is quick and easy. I don't expect it to disinfect my floors though. I just don't like to mop.

I have the purple shark steam mop and love it. I also have the slim line cordless dyson vacuum. That combo makes cleaning the floors very easy.
