I bought one by Swish. Waste of time and money Saundra.

I replaced it with one of those with a spray from the local glory hole for a few pounds. It is supposed to use its own make cloths and fluid but I use those cheap micro-fibre ones - 5 for £1 at Poundland - and Astonish floor cleaner.

I know someone who is thrilled with hers Saundra. I had the chance to buy one from a friend, wasn't quick enough so lost out. Mind you, I need a floor first

Sorry Saundra I've never used one and don't know anyone who has. I have used one of those Polti things that steam clean tile grouting and windows etc, as my MIL has one and lends it to me - they are brill

LOL Shell ((((x))))

I love my steam cleaner as we have tiled floors right through the house and I always feel the floors are extra clean when I use it instead of my mop and bucket.

i will have a think they look good on tv kaz i had a hand steamer thing
dont know what happened to it when we moved once
iv got a mop/bucket tho
MM i hope you get a floor soon

Saundra, I might have got this wrong.... there are steam cleaners and steam mops.

The steam cleaners are great. Mine had attachments for cleaning floors, curtains, carpets, ovens, kitchens and bathrooms, and stripping wallpaper. It was a big orange ball on castors and the steam lasted for about 40 mins.

The mop was a waste of space, honestly. It had a triangular head with a 'sock' that kept falling off and it steamed for about 10 mins, max - waste of money.

WM it was a steam mop i was looking at
thankyou for info i wont bother

I love my steam mop, yes, it is the one with a triangular head, it get's into the corners brilliant, the grouting gleams, and it literally takes minutes to dry in winter, rather than ages, like the mop and bucket. All my floors are tiled so it is used every day (ish )

I quite fancy one for my kitchen floor as it takes ages to dry with a normal mop.
