Steam Mops

Friendly to both the environment and your budget, a floor steam cleaner is a great choice for cleaning and disinfecting your hard floors. The best steam mop uses the power of steam to quickly clean and sanitize your floors, lifting dirt and killing germs without chemicals, replacing detergents and bleach with moist heat. Steam cleaning can kill up to 99.9% of allergens and bacteria, including E. coli, salmonella and other micro-organisms, surface molds, viruses, dust mites and more. Hard floor steam mops are effective on tile and hardwood floors as well as laminate or marble surfaces. However, if you need to remove stains and set-in dirt from your carpeting, you should buy a carpet steam cleaner, which uses hot-water extraction to deep clean.

Quick and convenient, a steam mop, especially a cordless steam mop, can be used on most floor types and may be the best steam mop for tile and hardwood floors. This type of floor steam cleaner often requires only tap water, instead of pricey detergents or other chemicals. The best floor steamer includes a wide variety of steam mop accessories and attachments that allow you to clean more than floors.

To find the best floor steam cleaner for your home, consider how you want to use it. If you want a steam mop for hardwood floors or a tile floor steam cleaner, you can choose from four available types of hard floor steam mops found at Best Buy. A handheld floor steamer can be used as a hardwood floor steam cleaner as well as a tile steam cleaner, but it can also scour around furniture, clean sinks and glass, mattresses, grout, grills and more. A steam mop designed primarily for floors is lightweight and easy to use, with a design similar to a stick vacuum, but with an attached water tank. A cylinder floor steamer, sometimes referred to as a canister floor steamer, tends to be bulkier and a little more difficult to store, but its larger water tank allows you to tackle large cleaning jobs without stopping. A vapor steam cleaner may be the best hardwood floor steam cleaner because its use of high heat dries floors quickly, protecting the wood from dampness.
