Steam Mop - Sacramento,CA

I bought a Haan steam sanitizer and LOVE it! I bought the additional short handle so that I can steam my counters and around the toilet. It works fast and there is no chemical residue. I bought the two extra cleaning pads (it comes with 2 already) and found that the extras aren't necessary if I'm only cleaning one or two rooms at a time.
I chose the Haan over the Shark because of the positive reviews I read on amazon.com. Good luck!

I just bought the Haan steam mop and really liked the results! It's very easy to use and cleans fast without a lot of effort. Small, lightweight and easy to store. So far, so good!

I just bought the Eureka ENVIRO STEAMER and I love it. The only thing that was hard to get used to at first was having a cord attached to a mop. We have a lot of hard wood floors so I have to plug into different outlets as I mop around the house. I recommend reading some reviews on Amazon to see if you connect with any of the comments - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001LYFBHG/ref=ox_ya_oh_...

I bought the shark steam mop a few years ago....used it a few times & found it to be a piece of junk....overpriced too & then the customer service was horrible & made it impossible to return it....I read the other responses & am surprised to see a few good reviews....I might just break it out again & give it another go....will let you know if I do & if my opinion changes. Good luck, the idea is good but in my opinion, you get what you pay for & the more you pay the better quality you will get...

Hi!

We use the Shark Steam Mop everyday at our Gymboree sites but recently two of them have stopped working. They do a great job on the mats and I suspect the only reason they stopped working is because of the heavy daily use that they get. I'll be interested in seeing if anyone else recommends a better steam mop because I love the use of steam to clean but want to know if there's something more durable than the Shark steamer (because of our daily use).

I really like the Shark Steam Mop! It's easy, and it cleans without using chemicals, which I'm very sensitive to so I can't use the Swiffer or similar products. I recommend it!

We have the Shark steamer. It comes with the mop attachment, and we absolutely love it!!!!! We have linoleum floors and hardwood floors that we use it on, and it's so easy to use and gets the area sooo clean! We have 2 large dogs and a 5-year old, and it's just amazing. I would definitely recommend it. I know they make just the mop also, but we have the full thing, which is only about $10 more than the mop itself. But they seem to be hard to come by now. We've only had it for a year, so I don't know if they stopped making them, or what. Anyway, good luck!

Greetings T.: I know that you have recieved several responces to your request.
I just as the mother of a special needs child, Who has Dyslexia and Aspberger's Syndrome. I want to Thank You, and all the teachers like you that are trying to help the children that have to fight their way through life and hit all the rough patches along the way.
It takes extra education and it takes someone with a special ability to do this work.
Our son, unfortunetly was not blessed to have these two disabilities discovered while still in elementry school- they just knew aboutthe Auditory Dyslexia and the ADD- it was after much testing and trial and great error on our parts that the rest was discovered. But he had wonderful teachers all along the way that did a great job and gave him the encouragement he needed to achieve his very best.
So good luck in your choice of mops--- and greater good luck in the job field that you have choosen. Nana Glenda

Hi T., I bought the Shark steam mop last year. It does a so so job. I would look into it a little more. The one I bought was only $80, but if I had to do it again, I would upgrade to a little more expensive one. Good Luck

I have the Shark and it works well. I received one in December and it stopped working in July/August (it just stopped, no power, nothing). I took it back to Bed, Bath and Beyond and it was a super simple exchange. I do have to say, I don't mop my floors too often (once every other week), so it takes a few pads to clean all my floors (also, when the pads are brand new, they are too "slick" and don't pick up much dirt - I've had to wash them a few times to get them warn-in.). I always felt with the Swiffer mop and a regular mop, I was just pushing yucky dirt around. Now at least it's sanitized dirt (LOL)!

I have the Shark steam mop. I bought the cheapest one. I am very happy that it kills 99% of germs without any type of cleaner--just water.
The only thing I would recommend is that you buy extra pads. I use two just for our kitchen floor (maybe a 10x10 foot area), otherwise the dirt starts getting pushed around.
