a steam cleaner

its fab my floors are sparkling and really easy to use - 35 quid bargain !!!

bit embarrasing using it for first time though - didnt realise how dirty my floors were

**samb** · 05-10-2012, 01:14 PM

Ooooo sounds like a bargain! Well done

**JCrakers** · 05-10-2012, 01:15 PM

Nice

Sounds great and a good price

It reminds me of a time I sent dh to the shops for milk, ketchup and marg and he came back forgetting the ketchup but had bought a bargain microwave oven
We can really have that on our chips

**Tatjana** · 05-10-2012, 01:23 PM

Sounds fab!

Can you tell me, is it any more fiddly/complex to use than a traditional bucket and mop?

**ziggy** · 05-10-2012, 01:30 PM

Mum bought me a steam mop for my birthday in august, love it.

Just done kitchen n dining room while children sleeping and floors dry so quickly.

I dont find it fiddly to use and mine is ready to use within a minute

MUCH easier than mop and bucket and much cleaner - have done kitchen, play room, lounge, hallways up and down and bathroom within 20mins while lo is sleeping. The only downside i found is the lead isnt long enough but ive got plenty of sockets, even did round the bottom of the loo

i wouldnt go back to a mop and bucket, you just fill it switch it on wait few mins then off you go - really lightweight xx
