In a hurry? Here are the best products at a glance.
When it comes to really tough messes, there’s really no better way to clean them than with a steam mop. Steam mops do more than clean. They sanitize and some even eliminate up to 99.9% of germs and bacteria! Our steam mop reviews cover some of the newest and best-selling products. Before we dig into the reviews, let’s take a closer look at some of the features you need to know when choosing the best steam mop.
Washable Mop Pads - Being able to reuse mop pads saves you money on buying disposable ones. Plus, it’s more environmentally friendly. Follow the cleaning instructions carefully, but avoiding fabric softener is good rule of thumb when washing them.
Pet Dirt - If you have a pet, you know how messy they can be. A steam mop can help control pet odors, remove old stains, and most importantly, sanitize the places that have seen the worst of the worst.
Water-Only Option - While cleaning solutions are great and can certainly help get rid of dirt and odors, they aren’t necessary. The only way to get steam is with water. To sanitize the dirtiest messes, water is all you need.
Accessories - With the right accessories, you can clean just about anything. Different pads, nozzles, and brushes are available for some models that will let you clean much more than your floors. Of course, if you want something simple, we have those, too.
Warranty - Warranties don’t usually cover general wear and tear. That said, it’s nice to know that if something goes wrong that’s out of your control, you’re covered. Read the terms and conditions carefully so you know what’s covered and for how long.
Dimensions - Steam mops come in all shapes and sizes. Some resemble mops and vacuums while others are shorter water tanks on wheels. Find one that you’re comfortable using and that will be easy to maneuver around your home.
The bottom line is that steam mops are one of the most effective ways to clean. Steaming can eliminate germs and bacteria that most other cleaning methods can’t. Now that you know the features to be on the lookout for, let’s take a closer look at the steam mop reviews we put together for you. In a rush? Check out our top and budget picks, they’re a great place to start. All right, let’s get going!
