Vacuum Cleaners Discussions

Hello all,

I know this is a vac forum but does anyone recommend a good floor steamer?  I once borrowed a Eureka 300A upright steamer and enjoyed using it.  Thanks for the help!

Hi Venson:

Way to go on the steam cleaned oven.  The only cleaning our oven gets is an occasional dusting from lack of use!  These Las Vegas restaurants and buffets are too good to pass up at every opportunity. 

I used the FM attachments ONCE when it was new.... just to test them out.  They worked well....but, they are stored in my garage in brand new like-condition from lack of use.  If our homes were older, perhaps they would be more useful.  But in their new condition, just don't have a need for them YET!

I have the Bissell Steam Mop and highly recommend it....

Hi Acerone,

Are you noticing an appreciable saving on all the "floor potions" you don't have to buy any longer?

Hello Acerone:

BISSELL sells several excellent products that are very affordable.  As I recall, and posted on one of the thrreads here, the BISSELL Steam Mop recently got the best in class from the Consumer Editor of the Wall Street Journal for floor cleaning.

Correct, I no longer have to use any floor care products.. Only water that converts to steam and it cleans deep down and my floors are supper clean....

And I owned mine about a year now and here's a post I did and a lot of people bought one.

Acerone:  Good and productive exchange.  I just might have to buy one and try it out for myself.

I have the Eureka steam mop and like it very much.  One of the things I will say against it is you have to use their mop pads whereas some of the others you can use a folded towel or microfiber cloth.  A word about the pads, they are machine washable, but don't put them in the dryer they will shrink.  Also don't use fabric softner in the load you wash your floor pads in as the softner will hinder absorbtion and will leave streaks.   However, with those pads you get a lot of cleaning.  I could clean the entire kitchen and bath with little difficulty.  Now since I have moved  my bathroom is the only room that isn't carpeted so even though I only use the steam mop once a week or so, it's still worth the three minutes warm up time as it really cuts the stuff on the floor, and I have some assurance that it is disinfected.

I have  a co-worker that has the Shark steam mop and she really likes it as well.  Again you have to use their pads, but she loves it.

So new for 2009 its still not on the ORECK Web Site.  The ORECK Steam It!  Heats in under 30 seconds.  Steam clean windows.  Clean any hard surface.  Target tough upholstery stains.  6 piece attachment kit.  $169  Can use upside down without spillage.

Has anyone used the Oreck Steam-It on tile floors? I am unable to find any reviews. I have the Hoover Floormate. 90% of my home is dark grey tile. Unless I immediately dry the floor with towels, they are streaked. Help!
