Shark Steam Mop

Smart shopper Jill B. tells us about one of her favourite cleaning helpers...

I bought this product based on an infomercial. I didn't order in but instead shopped around for one and bought it when it went on sale. It makes cleaning the floor quick and easy, which is great when there is a 7 mth old and a four year old in the picture.
Shop around. There are a lot of these on the market with a big range in prices.

A very poorly made product. While the steam feature worked well on my dark shiny hardwood floors, it didn't pick up much dust or dirt with the microfibre pad. It simply pushed it ahead of the pad. I had to go back over the floor with another damp mop to pick up all the dust trails. This wouldn't be noticed on tile, lino or light hardwood floors. So it really didn't meet my clean standards. Another lady looking at this product with me in the store commented on how her ceramic tile floors tore the mop head up. After a month and a half of use, the handle broke. Putting any pressure on the mop handle to scrub my floors had the handle creaking from the very beginning. You could also feel flexing in the handle which shouldn't be there. When the microfibre pad dried somewhat it became very difficult to move it around the floors. I had to rinse the pad out frequently and respray with hardwood floor cleaner to keep it working easily. My bottom line - steam cleaning is great but they need a better vehicle to deliver the cleaning. Way too flimsy. These mops are too expensive to have them break down so soon. The handle should have and could have been made much sturdier. Fortunately I had purchased it at Costco. They refunded my money and commented that they had received a few others back for the same reason.
