We are often asked the question, “Is there a way to clean just a small spot on my carpet and get the same result as i would with a carpet steam cleaner?” The reason people ask this is because sometimes you just need to clean a spot instead of your entire room. No one wants to pay the renting fee’s for a Rug Doctor to clean just a small spot. For those of you with this dilemma there is indeed an answer.

Spot carpet steamers are getting more and more popular. The reason for this is that they are often about the price of a blender and are designed to clean spots using carpet steam cleaner technology. We have all seen infomercials and had people knock on our doors trying to sell us the best cleaning spray in the world, but nothing can match the cleaning power of simple steamers. The spot steamer is a great product and can be found and most discount retail stores such as Walmart and Target.

The use of these small spot steamers is so easy, anyone can do it. You simply put the solution in the unit, turn up the heat, turn on the vacuum brush, and then make several passes on the carpet until the stain is gone. These little units are perfect for that cool aid spill, or the dog that walks on the carpet with muddy feet. Most people find that these portable small spot steamers pay for themselves within the first five time of using it.

Just like a big carpet steam cleaner, these little spot cleaners have a small vacuum bristle roller and work almost exactly the same except for on a much smaller scale. Most spot cleaners have many features such as nozzle accessories, steam temperature control, and the ability to work with many kinds of different carpet cleaning solutions. Make sure that you only use solutions that are approved for carpet, don’t make the mistake of using the household cleaner just lying around to clean your carpets as this can bleach and damage your carpet costing you thousands in the long run.

Once again just like anything else, you get what you pay for. Don’t go too cheap when buying a spot steamer as the cheaper ones often don’t get hot enough and don’t produce the wanted results. We would say that a small spot steamer around the price range of $50-$100 dollars would definitely have the quality of components you are looking for to achieve the results you want.

You see them everywhere lately – steam cleaning mops. They are the latest craze in cleaning gadgets and as their popularity grows so, does the variety of brands and price ranges. This review is of one of the most widely seen and least expensive models out in stores today – the Euro-Pro Shark Steam Mop Model S3101CO.

It comes with 5 Micro-Fiber Cleaning Pads, a funnel and flask-style cup to pour water into the reservoir. Assembly is easy, just three pieces to snap together. It is very light, just 3 pounds and is backed by a one-year limited warranty.

Although the box states in several places that you just need to use “ordinary tap water” the instruction booklet inside the box suggests that you use distilled water. Use distilled water! Using distilled water helps to prevent mineral build-up and scale that you get with tap water and gives you more life out of your steam appliances.

The Shark does heat quickly and generates steam within 30 seconds, no kidding. The pumping motion of the mop releases the steam as you push forward. The instructions say that you may have to give a few extra pumps the first time, but that was not the case, steam was generated right away. The 20-foot power cord is plenty long and wraps up neatly against the handle when done.

This mop can certainly be considered an eco-friendly mop, as it uses no toxic chemicals to clean. Also, the mop pads are machine washable – they wash well, but lay them flat or hang to dry. Putting them in the dryer could shrink them or leave them out of shape.

Note – If your floor is heavily soiled or has sticky/messy spills, use common sense and clean those spots first the usual way. It is also a good idea to vacuum first in order to pick up extra debris you wouldn’t want caught up in the mop pad. You should also carry along a cloth to pick up any hair or dust that the mop pushes out in front of it.

The water reservoir is small, holding just slightly over one cup of water, so you might expect to refill it often while mopping – not the case. It only had to be refilled once while cleaning three large rooms and a hallway during this testing.

Floors tested with this mop included sealed hardwood flooring, smooth ceramic tile and textured tile. The steam cleaned the sealed hardwood flooring without leaving streaks and without leaving wood-damaging water sitting too long on the surface. The Shark Steam Mop also took away the streaks left by the previous mopping job and dried almost instantly. It was amazing!

On white bathroom ceramic tile and a slippery-slick tiled kitchen – both turned out perfectly and dried immediately, eliminating the chance of a slip or fall on the tile floor. The floors all felt extremely clean and sanitary with absolutely no sticky residue. It did not seem to work as well though on uneven surfaces like the textured, stone-styled tile.

Touching the mop pad after finishing, it was not soaking wet or dripping, but just moist – very surprising. In all, it did an admirable job of cleaning in a short amount of time. If you keep in mind that you will still have to mop the ‘old fashioned way’ with cleanser sometimes, this is a great option for quickly cleaning floors.

The Bissell Steam Mop is getting tons of satisfied customer feedback.  This environmentally friendly mop lives up to the hype.  To use the mop just fill the container with water and in just 30 seconds the water is hot enough to produce steam, press the trigger and go!  It is light weight, easy to maneuver and uses no chemicals.  It leaves no streaks and dries very fast so it is safe to use on ceramic tile and hardwood floors.

It comes with two microfiber pads that are washable for reuse.  Unlike some of its competitors, it has a 360 degree swivel head to get hard to reach areas. The steam releases on the backward pull and you need to keep your finger on the trigger.

“When I first got the mop, I wasn’t sure if I was mopping correctly as my floors seemed really wet. It was cleaning well, but I couldn’t believe how wet the floor was. Then I found out  that if you don’t hold down the steam trigger the entire time, the floors won’t get so wet. The mop is still very hot, so it is still cleaning and you can add more steam for very dirty areas. So far it works like a dream on my tan ceramic tile as well as my black ceramic tile. I am happy with my purchase and am glad that I am not longer using expensive and harsh cleaners.”

“It’s not leaving dirty water streaks or anything that we used to have to deal with. I can mop my whole kitchen/dining room in less than 10 minutes and it doesn’t hurt my back at all. It’s ready to go within seconds of being plugged in and the cord length is adequate for my space. I love this mop.”
