Which Steam Mops Sanitize Best?
Not all steam mops are created equal. This
becomes more apparent when you find out that not all steam mops get hot enough to actually sanitize floors. This is
a fact that many consumers don't learn until after they purchase their steam mop. Here is a guide to the best steam
mops for not only getting your floors clean but also for sanitizing them too!
It's important to note that in order for germs, bacteria, and dust mites to be
killed, you need your steam mop to be at least 212 degrees.
Steam Mops That Get Hot
Monster Steam Mop – One of the Monster Steam
Mop's claims to fame is actually that it is one of the hottest steam mops you can buy. At 266 degrees, it should
definitely kill whatever is living on your floors.
Haan Steam Mop – The FS20 Haan Steam Mop reaches a
temperature of 212 degrees. The Haan costs less than the Monster and also comes with a carpet sanitizing
attachment.
Haan Slim and Light - More expensive than the
Haan FS20 but with a slim and sleeker design, the Haan Slim and Light also reaches a temp of 212
degrees. A carpet attachment is included and this mop has some of the highest customer reviews on the
market.
Eureka Enviro Steamer - A customer favorite,
the Eureka Enviro Steamer reaches a temperature of 220 degrees. This is best low priced steam mop you
can get but it doesn't have a carpet attachment.
Steam Mops to Avoid if Sanitized
Floors are Important to You
Shark Steam Mop – This will shock many as the
Shark has long been the most famous steam mop on the market. But this popular mop only gets the water heated to 110
degrees. Add to that the long list of customer complaints about this mop and you should really avoid this
one.
Bissell Steam Mop - Although this steam mop has
lots of positive customer reviews to it's name and has a lot of nice features including a mop head that swivels 360
degrees, if sanitizing is important to you this mop with it's 125 degree temperature isn't your best option!
