ok im trying not to clean with chemicals so much and i hear that steam cleaners are a good alternative. my question is have you tried any?? were they good or bad should i avoid certain ones?? ive done some research on amazon but the one i like most is out of stock. any feed back negative or positive would be great thanks!
Best recent investment. It cleans very well and the floors seems to stay cleaner longer. I guess the chemicals left on the floor with regular cleaning attract dirt. And it's so safe for kids and animals. I have a Bissell and love it. The cleaning pads/cloth seem to wear out quickly (after a few usages) so buy an extra set.

i actually posted a question a few weeks ago asking the same thing. most people requested the shark. just a note though, check to make sure that steam is compatible with your floor type. i have peel and stick tile in my kitchen, and steam will peel them up. also some linoleums are not steam compatible. i wound up getting a microfiber mop, and i just use hot water to clean my floors. i love it.
I have the shark steam mop for my laminate floors and I love it. easy to use and does a GREAT job cleaning. for jobs above floor level I actually have the shark steamer and I like that as well, although it doesn't get as much use as my mop. both heat up fast. I believe bed bath & beyond carriers them both and you can use their 20% off coupon (if you have one near you). they also take expired coupons :) the steam cleaners certainly save on paying the prices for the green cleaners that are out there. good luck.
Hi E.,
I went and bought a Bisell steam cleaner and love it. I have an eight-month old daughter who we are trying to get to crawl. So the carpets should definitely be clean. In addition to not allowing any shoes worn in the house, I use the steam cleaner. I use the Resolve Oxy-buster cleaning solution with hot water and am very pleased with the results. No buildup like when I used to use Arm&Hammer powder and then vacuum! I feel much better allowing the baby to roll around on the carpet, other babies on the carpet when I host wigglers & crawlers playdates, and feel good myself to roll around on the carpet. Hope this helped even a little.
I do not know much about steam cleaners,although I do know a great deal about products to clean and other things that do not use chemicals please call me at ###-###-####, or at home ###-###-#### my name is P. Chambless.
Hi E.,
I have the shark steam mop and I really love it. I think it works great (evidence on the dirty mop pad). I have hard wood floors and ceramic tile. I really got it for the hard wood floors, but it does a great job on both. My only negatives on it are 1. the cord is not very long so I have to move it from plug to plug as I go and 2. the pole coming out of the handle feels a bit flimsy to me, but it still does the job. I would recommend it despite the negatives. If you go to bed bath and beyond or similar store you can use one of those 20% of coupons.

I bought a steam mop from QVC a month ago and love it. I've included the link below. I have ceramic tile, and my floors feel so clean after using it. It doesn't hurt my back to mop anymore, and my 10-year-old son thinks it's fun to use which is a bonus!
