Another steam mop post
Comments (42)Hi BW Thanks for the links.. I had already read everything about it when I first saw the postÂ.I donÂt let grass grow under my feet when something new and natural comes out. .lol! I am definitely considering it, but I am a little concerned with all the returns and defective units. Sounds confusing with all the error codes, priming etc. but does spark an interest.. The only thing that I donÂt like, is the water lasts for only 15 minutes before you have to recharge. I also fear that once I buy it, they will make a new and improved one (isnÂt that always the way??) that already happened with one product , as followsÂ.. Long ago I bought the EcoQuest Laundry Pure. It was similar in technology. Worked on oxygen, UV lights and silver technology. It was expensive @ 750.00 (now the units have been reduced) The idea was to clean clothes and sanitize them with sterile, sanitized water, much like the Lotus. At first , I thought it was great, clothes were clean.. Then when I had towels that my kids wiped their hands on and it had surface dirt, it didnÂt come out. After 6 weeks of use, clothes started stretching out.. it was a fight, but I returned it.. there was no way I was losing that kind of money on something that truly didnÂt work and damaged our clothes. I do like the technology of this type of cleaning and I do believe in it, but being this new, they have to work the kinks out. I want to find the Lotus locally, so if I am having the problems as some, I can take it back with out having to do the shipping and waiting game. I am hoping it works like they claim, for this will be truly wonderful! I am willing to give it a try. I called the local stores who are authorized to sell it, but none in stock..so I will wait and call again. If you beat me to it, please let me know what you think! In any event, I will always have my Shaklee under my sink! (how are you doing with Charlies??) Ree...See MoreShark Steam Mop
Comments (156)I hate my shark steam mop. I have ceramic tile in dining room & kitchen, hardwood in living room. I've used it about 5 times. Leaves ugly streaks all over my floors & 2 pads are def not enough--they are a mess & washing (even bleaching) does not get them clean! I've gone back to scrubbing on my hands & knees; however today I wanted to do a quick clean up today in front of my door & now the stupid thing won't steam? Talk about frustrating! Colossal waste of money.......See MoreSteam mop question
Comments (3)I'd be careful. There was a post on gardenweb a while ago that said Rejuvenate put a beautiful shine on the floor but since it wasn't a hard enough finish, it ended up creating a smeary mess. I had a similar problem with QuickShine, and it was god-awful to remove. Also, it's possible the dullness of your tiles is due to reside left behind from other products over the years. I'd try a product from a flooring store (like Stone Tech products) designed to remove this build up, and then use the steam mop without any products whatsoever for a month. Then see how it looks...

Comments (4)I have a Shark steam mop that I picked up in Costco. I only have a small kitchen area and the bathroom to clean (rest is carpet) but I love it. I can just pull it out, use it, and the floor is clean and dry. I used to have to wait until the end of the day to mop the floors and even then DH would always manage to tramp over the wet floors....See Morejoann_fl
