You've probably seen the infomercials where the guy is quickly cleaning up one mess after another and claims that the Shark steam mop cleans 1000 times better than a traditional mop. 1000 times better is a pretty bold claim and may not be entirely accurate but the mop is an effective floor cleaner.
The Shark steamer does a good job of getting dirt, grime, and muddy footprints off of your floor and it does have a few significant advantages over a traditional mop. With a steam mop you are using nothing but water and heat to clean your floors so there is no need for detergents or harsh chemicals. The Shark steam mop also uses microfiber pads to help scrub dirt and grime off of your floors and the dirt is trapped in the fibers of the cleaning pad rather than just being spread around the floor like a traditional mop would do.
If you take some time to research reviews online for the Shark mop you can get a better idea of whether you think it would be something worth while to have. The reviews online for the older Shark steaming mop are mixed with some people saying they love it and other people saying don't waste your money. However, the newer "deluxe" model has much better reviews online from people that have actually used it.
The things people like about the Shark steam mop are that it is easy to assemble and it is lightweight and easy to maneuver. It also has a long cord so that you will not have to stop and move the plug multiple times during a cleaning job. The Shark steamer also has a large water tank so that you can finish the job without stopping to refill. The cleaning head on the Shark steam mop also swivels, making it easier to get into those hard to reach areas. The Shark steam mop really does work and it does a good job of cleaning just about any hard floor in your house.
