The Top Steam Mops Including As Seen On Tv

Introduction and Technology




The steam mop or steam broom is an altered version of the mop that is used to clean floors such as and including hardwood floors, tile, carpet, kitchen floors and more.

So how does it work?

The mop comes equipped with a tank or water reservoir which becomes heated to produce steam. The temperatures reach up to 120 Degrees Celsius or more depending on the steamer.

The mops may have one or up to even fifteen jets to allow the steam to be released onto a microfiber pad. The steam which is “injected” into the pad causes the pad to draw the dirt from off of the floor and deep into the pad where it is locked in.

When cleaning with a steam broom, the pad basically retains the dirt and after use should be washed.

The microfiber mop is generally reusable which makes it a very economical way of cleaning.

Additionally, you get to clean all of your floors without the use of chemicals or detergents and have them even cleaner than if you did use them.

This mop is superior to the traditional mop as it does not leave any residue on your floor. When mopping using the traditional mop, you are spreading the dirt and water around the floor as the mop strands do not effectively retain the dirt.

This causes you to do even more work by repeatedly mopping the area until it is clean.

The heat from the steam kills 99% of bacteria, dust mites and other harmful organisms on your floors making them perfectly safe and clean for your enjoyment.

These mops are better to use than traditional mops on wood floors as they would not cause the natural shine to wear out as quickly as using chemicals and detergents on them.

Some steamers can be even used on carpets to refresh them and remove light stains! Of course a steam mop cannot replace a vacuum or SteamVac when it comes to cleaning your carpets, but they are certainly capable of touch up jobs.

Top Picks:

#1:
Bissell Powerfresh Steam Mop 1940

Steam mop - Bissell PowerFresh


Why is the Bissell Powerfresh the top pick?

This cleaner has well over 8500 reviews that give it an overall four and a half out of five star rating on Amazon. Consumers simply love this steam cleaning mop and it comes competitively priced at under $90.

This steamer does an excellent job on all types of bare floors including tile, marble, stone, sealed hardwood, laminate, linoleum, etc. It does a great job at light cleaning jobs but also cleaning hard and sticky messes off of floors and is super easy to operate.

This machine is not flimsy by any means even though it is made from light weight plastic.  The reason for this is so that is is light and easy to maneuver while still remaining  a high quality mop on a low end budget.

It provides great floor coverage and edge cleaning. It is lightweight at 8,3 lbs and is simple to put together and operate.

The main downside of this product is the cap for the water tank.  Some customers reported that theirs came apart after a few months but it can be easily replaced by contacting Bissell.

#2:
Shark Steam Pocket Mop (S3501)

Steam mop - Shark S3501 Deluxe
This steam cleaner comes in second with over 2500+ reviews and a four out of five star rating.

Consumers love this product for many reasons (Not just its celebrity as seen on Tv mop status!).

The cleaner provides double the cleaning surface where you can simply flip it over while cleaning to use the other side. The mop heats up very quickly, almost immediately after being plugged in.

The cord is quite long (30’) which enables you to maneuver easily around the room if it is large and the steam dries very quickly.

The cost is just over $50 that makes it an excellent budget buy.

#3:
O-Cedar Microfiber Steam Mop

Steam mop - O-Cedar Microfiber Steam Mop
With over 480 customer reviews and a 4/5 star rating, the O Cedar steam mop comes in third on our list of top mops.

This cleaner does an excellent job when it comes to cleaning hardened messes like syrup and peanut butter. It is easy to set up and use and can be used on most types of floors.

It is an excellent budget buy at around $50 and despite its deceptive flimsy looks it is truly durable.  Unlike most steamesr it is quiet and costumers report that you can only hear steam while operating it.

The head is triangularly shaped and it provides 360 degrees of motion which allows it to fit into tight corners and clean narrow spaces.
