Steam cleaner!

H ordered one for me!  I am really excited about it.  I read that once you get one you never have to use swiffers again.  Anyone with any experience on this?

Re: Steam cleaner!

  • I *just* bought a steam mop this past weekend.  I've only used it once, but I like it so far!  I really like the idea that there's no chemicals involved.  Mine also came with this really awesome smelling eucalyptus scented water.

  • Can you use it on wood or just tile?  We have a steamer to remove wallpaper and DH thought we could use it on the floors too, but then I have read things about not using it on wood because it can warp. ???

    I've been wanting to get one but have been worried about this as well. DH has read mixed reviews about steamers and hardwood. Ours is sealed, but the cats do make little scratch marks in the wood. Our floors are less than a year old and I don't want to ruin them. Huh? We use wet swiffers right now and the floors dry really quickly. So I guess as long as water/steam evaporates quickly it wouldn't be too much of a problem.

  • Things I've read say the steamers are fine on wood as long as the floor is sealed.  And it dries SO fast

  • Good to know. Thanks!
  • What brand and model did you guys get? I've heard good things about the shark style, but I haven't done too much research.

  • I bought the Bissel at Target.  It was $60.  I'd heard good things about both the Bissel and the Shark, but the Bissel was cheaper

  • I'm worried about the warping issue as well.  camedown, let us know how you like it so we'll double the number of real-life data points we have now :)
    I'd rather be rock climbing or playing volleyball

    Haan is what we got....H put a lot of research into it.  Ha ha ha.  He tells me it is safe to use on our hardwood.

    Yes, no chemicals!  That is why we got one.
