What do you guys use to clean your tile and wood floors??
I had a Shark Steam Mop and it did an awesome job but I rarely ever took time to use it. I bought a Shark Spray Mop and love it. Its like a Swiffer Sweeper Mop but the pads are machine washable and the cleaner is refillable too so I saved tons of money on pad and cleaner refills when I went to the Shark Spray Mom from the Swiffer Sweeper mop thing. The little Shark Spray Mop is super fast and convenient to use. The Steam Mop does an awesome job but its not as fast. |

Location: Wonderful Wyoming | I like the Shark steam mop. It is slow to kick out steam, but does a great job and super easy to use. It's light weight and not too bulky to store. |

I know!!! I love the window one! DOES wonders on mirrors!!!!
I hate the party (tupperware deal barf) so I love ordering off of Amazon.com
The mop is pricey but so are swiffers but it is an investment and they are wonderful!!! My favorite is the tile one! I only use it both dry and with a spray bottle of distilled water! Cleans muddy puppy prints our running in and out easy! When it gets dirty I just take the hose on the vaccum cleaner and suck the dirt and hair off! LOVE IT!! Even hubby is bragging on the floors!

I tried everthing to get it to work properly. Was a waste of time. I do like my Hoover floormate but I've heard great remarks about the Norwick products too.

Location: TN | I got a shark steam mop and its "ok " probably cuz I rinse the pad out by hand inbetween each section of floor. Not a time saver. not sure it really makes any steam.
diluted the chemical spray part so my dogs wont get it on their feet(1/2 with tap water).
would not recomend it. got one to sell real cheap

Location: Midwest | I have friends that are dealers of the Norwex products. I have not tried them, but them seem to like them.
They are a little expensive and I plan on using up my cleaning products first. :)
As for the Shark mop- mine broke one day and just was exploding steam from the end of it.... it was kind of comical, even if I did have to run and unplug the darn thing. I use a regular ol mop now or the Bona Floor system for my hardwood. |
