It's really light and has a carpet attachment to sanitize carpets (not clean them ... just sanitize). I use this on my rugs after a good vacuuming cause you just never know with toddlers! I got an extra bag of cleaning pads cause I can't justify throwing 3 in a wash cycle .. so I wait until all of mine are dirty and then I do 1 big wash cycle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-shark-steam-mop#post-1811542 Tue, 12 Aug 2014 11:27:30 +0000 regberadaisy 1811542@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bunnylove08: ooooh. I don't know why I never thought of that seeing as how my humidifier has the same problem. I will try that tonight - thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-shark-steam-mop#post-1811472 Tue, 12 Aug 2014 11:04:28 +0000 bunnylove08 1811472@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vz8OvV30sHM" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vz8OvV30sHM</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-shark-steam-mop#post-1811465 Tue, 12 Aug 2014 11:03:12 +0000 bunnylove08 1811465@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: My dad has the yellow one Haan FS-20 Yellow Steam Cleaning Floor Sanitizer</p> <p><a href="http://www.bestbuy.com/site/haan-steam-cleaning-floor-sanitizer-white-yellow/9373162.p?id=1218094343985&#038;skuId=9373162" rel="nofollow">http://www.bestbuy.com/site/haan-steam-cleaning-floor-sanitizer-white-yellow/9373162.p?id=1218094343985&#038;skuId=9373162</a></p> <p>Your cleaner may be clogged, did you try to descale it with some vinegar? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-shark-steam-mop#post-1811423 Tue, 12 Aug 2014 10:49:41 +0000 regberadaisy 1811423@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@aegie: @bunnylove08: which ones do you have? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-shark-steam-mop#post-1811406 Tue, 12 Aug 2014 10:45:05 +0000 mrs. bird 1811406@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsA: you're correct, it's not &amp; will often void warranties on new floors.

I bought the Bona hardwood cleaning system based on previous recs here and have liked it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-shark-steam-mop#post-1811346 Tue, 12 Aug 2014 10:27:13 +0000 bunnylove08 1811346@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my dad has a Hann steamer and he loves it </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-shark-steam-mop#post-1811345 Tue, 12 Aug 2014 10:26:09 +0000 aegie 1811345@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a haan steamer and I can't say enough about it. It's one of the few steamers that actually gets over boiling pt so it's actually sanitizing the floors while it's cleaning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-shark-steam-mop#post-1811338 Tue, 12 Aug 2014 10:24:45 +0000 regberadaisy 1811338@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: both of mine were less than 18m old! The water won't pump out of this one and the last one it just kept leaking water. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-shark-steam-mop#post-1811333 Tue, 12 Aug 2014 10:23:29 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1811333@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I need suggestions too! A gasket or seal or something just broke on our shark. It was a cheaper model and like 4 years old but still, I'm annoyed it broke. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-shark-steam-mop#post-1811292 Tue, 12 Aug 2014 10:04:20 +0000 Mamaof2 1811292@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When my shark died I switched the Bona for Tile. I already had the Bona for hard woods and its like a Swiffer where you insert the cleaning solution and add on the cleaning pad - if I am doing hard wood I use hard wood cleaner - for tile I use the tile cleaner - then I throw them in the wash - been very happy with it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-shark-steam-mop#post-1811231 Tue, 12 Aug 2014 09:41:54 +0000 regberadaisy 1811231@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've had two shark steam mops so far and both have malfunctioned on us.</p> <p>We use our steam mops for day to day cleaning so need a new one! </p>
