Steam mops are great. They can be used on any type of sealed floor, be it tile, linoleum, hard wood, or laminate. They require no added chemicals, since they clean the floor with steam from boiling water (inside the steam cleaner), which is truly green. There are no empty cleaner bottles to throw away or recycle. Best of all, the steam mops, regardless of brand, come with pads that are washable and reusable, so there are no used cleaning pads to throw away, either.
Most companies make all of their money on the consumable items, like the Swiffer Wet Cloths or the Swiffer Wet Jet. In both of these cases, you have to keep spending money on either cleaning pads, cleaning solution, or both. Although the Swiffer products work well, there is a lot of waste and expense associated with the consumable items. With the steam mops, all of the money is spent to buy the product, and that is all. Steam mops clean with either distilled or tap water and the pads are reusable. This is a great reason to switch your floor cleaning routine over to a steam mop, the truly green way to clean your hard floor surfaces.
