We've had two shark steam mops so far and both have malfunctioned on us.
We use our steam mops for day to day cleaning so need a new one!
-
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!
-
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.
-
@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.
-
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.

my dad has a Hann steamer and he loves it

I heard that steam mopping isn't great for hardwoods (I don't know if that's true but I went with it). I bought the Bona hardwood cleaning system based on previous recs here and have liked it.

We use Bona for wood and Swiffer for tile. Steam mops are bad for hardwood!
-
@MrsA: you're correct, it's not & will often void warranties on new floors. Hardwood floor installers warn people not to use them.

@aegie: @bunnylove08: which ones do you have?
-
@locavore_mama: My dad has the yellow one Haan FS-20 Yellow Steam Cleaning Floor Sanitizer
Your cleaner may be clogged, did you try to descale it with some vinegar?

@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!

@locavore_mama: I have the haan slim & light sanitizing steamer. 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.
