love the shine on my tile
I would have never bought a steam mop before. I didn't see the point. My house is mostly white tile and I scrub it by hand so why buy another floor tool that wont actually scrub the gunk off? Found it at walmart during black Friday and bought it for $20 just to see what it was about. I use it weekly now! After I spot clean my tile I use the steam mop and my floor not only comes out glowing but it also gets sanitized at the same time. You can tell the difference before and after on your bare feet. I pour a little water in the back, plug it in and turn it on. Simple as that. I feel so much better about my floors now that my baby is crawling around on them.
Glorified iron!
I must say I am somewhat impressed by how much you actually can clean your carpets with this product, even though it is designed for hard surfaces such as hard wood floors and tile. That is about the only positive..
The main down side is that it only produces steam when you push the handle forward, and it is not a controlled steam/heat element it produces an inconsistent amount of steam much like an iron. It really feels like I am "ironing" the floor, even after pre-saturating caked on mess and vacuuming/sweeping I still have an awful lot of scrubbing necessary. I'm not saying I am opposed to a little elbow grease but to have to pump the mop back and forth about 20 times just to keep steam coming/pick up a very light amount of dirt/stain is counterproductive and frustrating!
The other huge dilemma...am I really sanitizing? When the steam is actually coming out yes I would agree...But something tells me when you are just pushing dirt/a dirty pad around right...
Get ready for a shoulder work out
This isn't exactly the mop I wanted, but it does work ok. I hate the fact that I have to pump it while I mop to get the steam to come out. I like the similar mop, which I had before but blew up because I have hard water, which steamed the entire time I mopped.
