Using the Steam to Clean -- Shark Steam & Spray Mop Review

It's raining outside.  The dogs go out and come back in.  Of course they track in mud and dirty water off their paws and bellies.  Do I get angry?  Well of course I am a little annoyed by this but I am not worried about the clean up because I have a new mopping system that will clean this mess up with ease!

The Shark Steam & Spray Mop is very easy to use.  When you open your box, you'll notice there is a little assembly required, but nothing too hard.  The chord is not attached plus you have to snap the handle into place.  You will need to open the cleanser and switch to the cap provided to you for insertion into the Shark. Also, you will need to add water to the reservoir.  Included you'll find the cutest little pitcher to help ensure you do not make too big of a mess while filling the water! See, not too hard!  There are batteries inside as well.  These can be used for cordless spray-only mode.  


The Shark Steam & Spray Mop has two different kinds of pads to use.  You can choose to use the disposable SaniFiber Pads or the Washable Pad.  The washable pad can be used up to twenty times! The instructions expect the washable pad to last you between three and four months.  The pad can be applied by a velcro, directly onto the mop head.  You can see the washable pad was used before I took a picture.  I assure you, it was white when I took it out of the box!   


My absolutely favorite thing about this mop is how it breaks down tough greasy and sticky messes.  We are currently renting our home and when we moved in, there was a little mess of something in one of the corners on my kitchen floor.  I have scrubbed that area with my Swiffer, on my hands and knees and even with a towel and my foot, hoping to knock some of it loose.  Nothing worked, until today!  The Shark ate right through whatever was stuck down there and I no longer have to worry about that grime! The steam and cleanser combo inside the Shark have taken that nasty part of my kitchen away!  I could not be happier!  


After I had the mop put together and tested it out a bit, Allyson was so excited to help me out. She asked every 2 minutes or so if she could help me clean the floor. I have never seen her so excited to clean something, so of course I let her give it a shot! After a quick tutorial in 5 yr old terms, she was ready to clean the floor! Being that the Shark weighs a bit, I was worried she wouldn't be able to hold it very long, but she did great!


I would recommend the Shark Steam & Spray Mop for anyone that has a hard floor that can be mopped.  It is so easy to use and does a great job!

  30. I used to have a Shark Steam Cleaner and LOVED it. I used it every day though on my 1800 sq ft of hardwood, so I wore it out pretty quickly. Some day I will own another though!

  31. This would be great in addition to my big steam machine - especially for those pesky pawprints!!

  32. Sounds like a special treat for the floors... I love the idea of steaming the floors clean and would love one.

  33. This little cleaner is so easy to use and far less cumbersome than a full-sized steam cleaner. I prefer steam over daily sweeping and mopping. I think the steam cleans much better.
