Receive Eureka Enviro Steamer as a gift. My parents had one and they have a house with tile through-out their main floor and love it. I have a large tiled kitchen/pantry/laundry area and had tried two other methods to keep this area clean: various types of mops and a carpet steamer/cleaner with brushes that can be used on tile floors. This Steamer Mop is a great improvement over both those other methods for me so far. Here’s why I think that:
Traditional Mop- It’s a pain (heavy) to get a big bucket of soapy water prepared and lug it around the area. Dried on sticky stuff from kids sometimes takes a lot of very aggressive scrubbing to clean up. This method requires the most energy due to the scrubbing and I have to change the water at least once during the process. Floor is also still very wet when I’m done.
Hoover Carpet steamer/Cleaner- Heard from friend this works great on tile. It does have some advantages over mopping. Cleaner deposits water/cleaner solution, brushes do the scrubbing and it then sucks up the dirty water. Problem for me is that I still need to dump and re-fill water container at least once during the process and although it sucks up a lot of water, floor is still definitely wet when I ‘m done and I need to towel it down, or wait 30 mins to walk on it.
Eureka Enviro Steamer- I was surprised by how effectively it removed the dirt. It really, really works! When floor is especially dirty I have to refill it before job is done, but for regular maintenance, a single filling is enough for entire area. It’s not heavy to push around, and pushes quite smoothly. The floor dries more FAST! No need to go around with towels afterward or having to wait 30mins to use the room again. I find this is definitely the quickest way to get the job done and requires least amount of effort on my part. Only complaint I have is that from what I can see pads have gone from $19.99 for two to $19.88 for just one. I think that’s a complete rip-off. Cleaner comes with two, which is all I need to get the job done. I read another post from someone who said she wraps regular towels around the head instead. I think I’ll try this in the future if I ever have to use more than two.
If you have a tile floor and are not happy with your current method, this is definitely worth a try!
