Steam mops

CaliopeSpidrman · July 2010

I'm sorry I have nothing actually exciting to post today (or really any day, for that matter). Do any of you have steam mops? I know Bethie just bought one and I want to get one for my hardwood floors. Recommendations?

I have no advice, but I want one reeeeeal bad.

Get one with the little attachment to clean your stove and stuff, too!

I don't know how I survived prior to the steam mop. Mine is a Shark, but I think there is one on the market somewhere that gets even hotter than the shark.

I really want one. I just got a steam cleaner for the carpet and I LOOOOOOVE it. My husband thinks I have a sickness. He could be right.

We have this Shark. It works okay on our kitchen floor. I was actually told NOT to use steam cleaners on wood because over time the moisture will make it warp....?

I think I'm taking my Home Depot cheapie back and ordering this: http://www.amazon.com/Bissell-Steam-Hard-Floor-Cleaner-1867-7/dp/B000RPVHZU

Which ones come with attachments?! I too am obsessed with the steam mop.

I think as long as they are sealed, you're okay. But, otherwise, I'm sure your right.

I have the Shark Deluxe. It sucks. I mean it is good for the hardwoods but it won't take *** off of the tile floor. I have to get down on my hands and knees and scrub of the food that B has thrown down there. My mom has the next higher version of the Shark and loves it...she has not problems like I have.

this is the one I have. I read that it's better than some of the others b/c it comes w/ a few different attachments, gets pretty hot, has a bigger water tank and longer cord.

I was just looking at that one, Bethie. It led me to this lengthy review where a lady did a comparison of a bunch of steam mops. If you're interested: http://www.amazon.com/review/R2U0WBRUIMTHZI/ref=cm_cr_rdp_perm

Looks like this one doesn't get very hot.

That is only if your floors are completely sealed.

I did a lot of research on these and determined that the Eureka mop seemed like the best mop for the money. I ordered one through Amazon but it was freaking on back order for like two months so I cancelled it and will ask for it for Christmas instead from my parents or something. I can't wait to get one, they look so handy!

CaliopeSpidrman · July 2010

Stupid question -- how do I know if my hardwood floors are sealed? I've never owned hardwood floors before, so I don't know the difference.

We had our floors re-stained and re-sealed, and our floor guy said that although we could use steam mops, he didn't recommend it. He said to use the Bona Kemi mop set.

CaliopeSpidrman · July 2010

I have the Bona stuff and it doesn't clean worth a damn. That's why I'm looking at getting a steam mop.

ETA: It does make my floors look really pretty, but the dirt is still there. So it was great for low traffic area that just needed a quick once over, but in the kitchen where stuff had spilled, it didn't get any of the dirt up.

heyemilina · July 2010

Cleaning floors is the bane of my existence. I, too, want a steam mop. And a Dyson animal. Or a housekeeper.

I also have this shark and I feel like it makes my wood floors look pretty, but doesn't work very well on the kitchen or bathroom floor. I actually barely even use it anymore.

Regret.

CaliopeSpidrman · July 2010

Sorry man. I was running and diving in front of you in slow motion while screaming, "Noooooooooooooooooo!" when I saw you were going to open it, but I got here too late.
