If you feel like your hard floors and tiles never get really clean despite vacuuming and mopping, replacing your traditional mop with a steam one can solve the problem. Steam mopping is not only faster and easier than traditional mopping, but the heat from steam mops kills most bacteria and dust mites on the floor.
One of the most popular steam mops on the market right now is the Shark Steam and Scrub Automatic Steam Mop, and its price has just dropped on Amazon. It’s now £109, down from £159.99 – this is cheaper than getting it from Shark (£119), John Lewis (£119.99) or Argos (£120).
Suitable for use on all sealed hard floors, tiles, marble, hard wood and stone, it has two rotating pads that steam and scrub simultaneously to lift and remove stubborn dirt, dust, grease, grime and bacteria. And for easy care, the reusable pads are machine washable.
Amazon also sells Replacement Steam Mop Pads for the Shark, so you don’t have to wait for the pads to be washed and dried before using the mop again. The device has a rating of 4.5 from over 951 reviews.
One very happy shopper wrote: “What a game changer, tired of trying so many mops, never knew these were out there. I have a Polti which I love but it’s heavy and takes different attachments so takes ages to put together , but this little beauty did the job in minutes.
“It’s practical to hold and go so easy steam is ready so quickly and the pads are so easy to put on and take off and easy to wash in the washing machine comes up beautifully clean. Leaves the floor clean and smelling great, worth every penny.”
“Can really tell the difference from using conventional mops and steamers. Wish I had bought this sooner!” another added, while a third commented: “This is the only steamer that has done the job, well worth the price.”
On the cheaper side is the Dunelm Steam Mop. Priced at £35, it has been designed with variable steam control and a swiveling head to make cleaning hard-to-reach places easier.
It has a rating of 4.1 based on 132 reviews. “This is fantastic value for money, I’ve had one that cost twice as much and this looks exactly the same if not better,” said one buyer.
You can get the Shark Steam and Scrub Automatic Steam Mop for £109 from Amazon, for £119 from Shark, for £119.99 from John Lewis or for £120 from Argos
