Reviews
Besides, the above models of Lysol steam mops, there is another model which is deemed safe to use. It is the Lysol SM10LRX steam mop.
This steam mop has been widely advertised on Tv. You can buy it for about $40 and according to Amazon consumers; it deserves a 3.5 star rating. It has a 1500 Watt heating element, becomes instantly hot which means no wait time and has a continuous cleaning system in place i.e. a removable water tank.
This allows you to clean for as long as you like by simply adding more water when the reserve runs low. With each package you get a 28 fl. oz of Lysol all purpose cleaner, a fill cup and 2 cloth covers.
According to consumers, it is a good light weight cleaner that performs surprisingly well. It is great for cleaning tile and laminate floors and does not leave those dreaded streaks. The product assembly is extremely easy and it is simple to use. It has a decent swivel capability to clean around toilets and corners.
Consumers don’t like that they found it to be somewhat flimsy and a few wish it created more steam. Some found the engineering to be poor which lead to a short life. In all, this is a pretty cheap steam mop, so you do get value for your money.
Other options you have include the Clorox ready mop or Eureka enviro steamer steam mop.
