Steam mops.
First of all - apologies if this subject has been posted about before. if so I must have missed it...I'm wondering just how good steam mops are at cleaning difficult stuff. Has anybody got one? Would it clean the grout in my shower that's turned black do you think?
I'd really like to know what any steam mop owners think of them and what they do with them apart from cleaning the floor.
Thanks.

Carol, you can buy small hand held nozzle directed steamers, I think they're better for tiles. never used one but since it's just the grout you're doing might be more suitable - might be on your hands and knees though! Just noticed you meant shower area so no kneeling involved..

The grout comes up gleaming white.It is best to put a dust sheet underneath the tiles before doing this in case the mixture drips.

supposedly not but I mix it with Jif with no problems. I am not suggesting others do it if they don't feel comfortable about it and as I said in my earlier post |
