A steam mop is a machine that cleans the floor without the need to pour water on it. There is a tank that is filled only with water and when the equipment is plugged in it heats up and it is the steam that cleans the floor.
Not having to worry about what chemicals you’re putting on the floor will be a plus for all green cleaners. Only steam cleans the floor and all you need to use is water, distilled only if you are in a hard water area. Once this appliance has been used, it is difficult to go back to the old way of cleaning. Having a machine that holds the water in it instead of having to use a bucket makes this type of mop an incredibly attractive option.
Reviewers are happy with the steam mop and find that it leaves a clean, streak-free floor. As it also disinfects the floor and is known to kill 99.9% of bugs and mites, reviewers who have children are delighted to have a clean and safe floor. The steam is able to clean substances that would not be treated if a regular mop were used. Since there is no water, the work is much faster as there is no liquid to remove. Reviewers were pleased to note that it only took about thirty seconds for the water to heat up, so work was off to a fast start.
For most steam mops, the reviews are good. Comments are occasionally made about handles not being strong enough or cables being too short, but the good reviews far outweigh the bad.
Since the machines are plugged in, you don’t have to forcefully push them back and forth to remove dirt. Steam is all that is needed and for that fact alone, most reviewers give steam mops a thumbs up.
