What would you rate it out of 10?
Pauline, l wonder if you are looking at the right steam mop?
The one l have was from Curry’s £99.00 on offer from £150.

The girl who served us said, she had bought one for her wooden floors but hadn’t taken it out of the box yet!
I don’t have wooden floors because... l don’t like them!
I use the steam mop on my kitchen, cloakroom and en-suites tiles.
It is so effortless to use and you can swish it around so fast! The floors also dry quickly without having all the doors open.

I would give it 9/10. Losing a mark because the mop doesn’t stand up straight, you have to lean it against something after use!!

Pixie, This Shark steam mop boasts that it kills 99.9% bacteria.

Longy, If it’s the Vax that has been advertised on the television lately..... A friend of mine has just bought one of those... but it’s still in the box!!

If I buy one, how much do you get percentage wise? Commission I mean, NOT bacteria!

Bratti, What brand is yours?
I’d imagine most brands are different in Canada and in America to the U.K.?

We have tiled or sealed vinyl floors in much of the house as well as wall tiles in a few rooms, so it gets a fair bit of use and ours is pretty effective.
It's proven to be both excellent and handy for cleaning the oven, the barbecue, car upholstery prior to sale and a few other things too.

I wouldn't hesitate in getting another when something goes wrong with ours, but it's horses for courses and what suits me here might not suit you.
Zaphod, Polti? I have never heard of that brand.
Any pics?

Would not use a mop and bucket again but one of those flat mops that you add cloths to..tried a traditional Mop when first moved here, there was enough changes at 1st for me..no central heating and felt like I was living in a castle with the amount of spiders webs... Wet Mop Head..where do you keep them to dry..The only thing with steam mops that I can think is a reminder to use Distilled Water, if the water is hard or high in minerals it will eventually clog up...

Dianne, My steam mop looks similar until you get to the mop head.
Yes, Shark recommends using distilled water. I haven’t as yet..Tut Tut, naughty me!

My mop comes with a carpet ‘glider’. It doesn’t clean carpets, just refreshes them. I haven’t used it yet.

I get nowt!

It might be good if you ask Pauline where she saw them for £80, as that’s a really good price!!

Re: Steam Mops. Have You Got One?

yes you are correct, it freshens more than cleans and guess because of the hot steam must rid rugs of some germs..
