Anyone got a steam mop? Which one? Do you love it or hate it?

Tinkerbell: what do you mean? The cleaning result? Has it done anything to the wood? My wooden boards are already quite old and scratched etc so I'm not that precious... just as long as they don't warp I guess.

No it hasn't done anything bad to my wood floors. I was told it may take the shine off them though but mine aren't really shiny anway, they need another varnish but were like that when we moved in. I just find it does a better cleaning job on hte tiled and lino flooring in my house. I have a large area of wood floor and i find the steam mop is heaps easier to use than a normal mop on those areas.

Hi
Ive got a MONSTER FLOORs steam mop ok on tiles but dosn't get grout clean. Its also ment to do carpets but wouldn't recomend it.

we have an H2O steam mop and love it to bits...no more cleaning chemicals needed to disinfect the floor! We have solid timber floorboards Bath and it does a great job....noice shine it leaves. It also works well on the tiles in the wet areas so overall very happy with ours....tip though, get the microfibre heads for it...the trap the dirst so much better than the standard ones!

Thanks Tinkerbell and Melbel My boards have lost their shine so that doesn't worry me too much... that H2O one souds great!

I always put Eucalyptus oil on the pad as well so it smells nice when I mop, I find mopping without it leaves a funny smell. Not a gross smell, just a plain watery smell if that makes sense?

Ive got a kenwood one & I dont use it very often. I get sick of refilling it all the time. I prefer a normal mop & really hot water & only soap if it really needs it
