Anybody have or used a steam mop before? Just for general purpose floor cleaning ? I use an old school mop and commercial grade bucket on wheels which works fantastic but can be unwieldy for some.
Yeah I have one. They're a bit bulky but do a good job. I think the mops with a spray bottle and washable pads work better than a standard mob and bucket.
Thanks chief. Pull up alright this morning? Stay hydrated today.
Oh yeah I'm good. Just a relaxing day today. ๐
Is that the Enjo brand? We're doing a big house clean today before we go on hols next week. I'm on floor tiles duty and that's what I'll be using. I've been putting it off for weeks but has to be done today.
Mine's a Vileda. Had it for years. I prefer the spray bottle attached because you press the trigger up the top of the handle. No bending involved. These are the newer ones.

I have a steam mop. I like that you dont have a separate bucket to move, but I don't feel it does a very thorough job of cleaning (at least on vinyl, I suspect tiles might clean better) so I tend to use it for day to day cleaning but also do a more thorough scrub periodically.
I actually bought the mop more for the other steam clean attachements because it also works as a hand-held cleaner that is really good for things like inside the microwave. It also did a great job cleaning areas like inside the rail on the shower door that you can't really get into easily otherwise.
Ok thank you. Didnโt know they had little attachments for that. How does it go on like shower tile grout?
I don't have any grouted tiles to test it on, but it should work well for that. The one I have is an older version of this one, depending on what type you get there are varying number and type of attachments.
Thanks rave.
Careful of the surfaces you use it on. You're not supposed to use it on laminate or hybrid laminate flooring.
