There have been a great many innovations in the era of cleaning and domestic products; however, one of the most sought after products is the ever elusive steam mop. For years, cleaners of disinfect and clean hard to reach wooden, tile, and stone floors. It used to be, and for some still is, that a person would have to get on their hands and knees with a wet rag. This is where people encounter the upright steam mop which is a specific type of mop that discharges steam heated to above 130 degrees. The steam penetrates hard surfaces and allows for more disinfection for allergens and bacteria. With other cleaning tools the consumer has to buy multiple floor pad refills, steam mops come with re-washable, reusable, pads that simply hook to the bottom of the device. This tool makes it easier on time and money because you aren't constantly struggling with changing multiple pads every few minutes.
Disinfecting a floor with a steam mop is a process, but it has become much simpler. The step-by-step directions go as follows:
1) Sweep all visible dirt from the floor and make sure there are no wet spots on the floor.
2) Wait for desired steam mop to warm up, normally five minutes.
3) Work with the grain of the desired floor using even and steady strokes with the mop.
4) Clean in two feet squares and then wipe all excess water droplets from floor grain.
There are some steam mops on the market that a consumer should just avoid altogether; these are listed below with a review of the reasons:
