Product Information

Next up, I did a comparison test, mopping up some dried tomato sauce with and without some detergent (Russell Hobbs Alpine Steam Mop Detergent) from smooth kitchen tiles. After about a minute of slow mopping without the detergent, some remnants of the sauce remained, alongside a red sheen on the tiles.

Hard floors – The mop cleaned textured wooden floors and tiles efficiently, but left watermarks, requiring some further drying/polishing. Cleaning dried-up food from smooth tiles resulted in bits of residue, but worked better when using a steam mop detergent With this steam mop, all is set for you to make your home free of germs and grime. Firstly, the ejection of chemical-free steam with pressure as high as 3.5 bar for 50 minutes makes it very efficient to get rid of any grease or grim floor throw at it. Also, thanks to the adjustable steam setting and the 0.75 L water tank capacity which releases steam with the appropriate temperature within 6 minutes! With this, all the stubborn grime and dust mites that have developed a strong resistance to other steam mops are in trouble. More so, it comes with 10 efficient accessories to deal with any surface including the hard-to-reach area.Related: Best steam cleaner The Russell Hobbs Neptune Multifunction Steam Mop design and build – It feels slightly flimsy as a mop, but can stand up on its own I pitted three of the best-selling steam mops head-to-head for our test, the Shark Steam and Scrub, the Lakeland Steam Mop and Russell Hobbs' Steam and Clean. I then turned my attention to the window/upholstery tool with upholstery pad, which I used at the medium setting. It managed to remove most of the staining on one corner of my sofa and get rid of lots of dirt, judging by the state of the pad.

The mop head also has a removable carpet glider – a plastic frame that stops the mop pad from catching on the carpet, gathering up any loose fibres without hindering the steam. The other attachments – all in dark grey plastic – proved to be very useful, both in terms of quantity and quality. The window cleaning tool is transformed into an upholstery tool with the addition of the washable upholstery pad. The bristles of both the crevice and the round brush are durable enough for vigorous scrubbing. I found it helpful to hold the main unit upright, but had to take care not to spill water on the appliance itself. The filling jug provided is useful here – I’d say it took just under one and a half jugfuls to fill the tank to the MAX line. To be honest, ordinary steam may not be efficient for getting rid grim and grease. In this regard, you need a more dynamic steam mop like the Vax 586-SF-CC Multifunction Steam Mop that combines the power of steam and detergent for effective cleaning.However, in terms of immediate impact, the Shark really came into its own. Instead of one large pad it has two circular pads that work together to effectively simultaneously steam and scrub the floor. When you turn it on it feels noticeably more powerful to use, to the extent if you’re someone who struggles with holding a hefty gadget I’d consider plumping for one of the others. While they’re all roughly the same weight, once the Shark is on and working you need to really hold on tight to make sure you don’t lose control of it.

The Shark and Russell Hobbs had spare pads so you could wash a set and use a set. They also both came with small plastic jugs to make filling the mops with water easier - but this isn’t necessarily the perk you would imagine. A steam mop like the H20 X5-Original all-in-one Steam Mop is very rare in the market today. As the name implies, it provides a diverse solution to the issues related to cleaning multiple things without any hassles. It has an adjustable steam setting and the 15-second heat up time ensures you don’t wait till eternity before you start dealing with dirt, germs and even coronavirus that is demanding for nothing than your demise. The Karcher SC 2 Easyfix Entry-Level Steam Mop is a great invention from Karcher. With it 954W x 780D x 260H mm size, you can conveniently bid farewell to all stubborn dirt that has been residing in your home. Using the detergent within the same time resulted in less residue and no red shine, as well as a pleasant smell. This indicates that with more stubborn stains, as well as smellier – or less hygienic – spillages, it might be useful to include a cleaning agent.I kept the steam cleaner on the medium setting for only lightly soiled hard floors, but turned it up to “max” when using the carpet glider. It didn’t manage to entirely remove some stubborn stains from my rug, but it did make the colours a bit brighter. If you are looking for a steam mop to revive your dirt or germs infested carpet, then the Vileda 157171 Steam Mop must be your first port of call. With its carpet glider, you can set your carpet free from all dirt and germs without any damage. Whereas traditional mops rely on detergent and elbow grease to disinfect floors, steam mops heat water in an onboard tank and then release the vapour directly on to the floor at temperatures of up to 120 degrees Celsius, making for a deeper clean and killing most bacteria likely to be lurking on surfaces. No doubt, this 1300W steam mop from Easy Steam deserve its place in this review. With it highly efficient microfiber pad and 300mL water tank capacity which releases steam as high as 100oC, you can easily deal with any mark left by grim and dirt on your floor for 50 minutes. Also, the Easy Steam 1300 W Upright Steam Mop has an adjustable steam setting which makes it very easy for you to vary the steam to the one that will suit your goal.
