Am loving my new steam mop

I keep taking breaks from working on the mag to clean my floors with  my first ever Steam Mop — A Bissell PowerFresh. Being a gardener and kitty owner, immaculate floors were never a priority. When I re-enter a room I cleaned earlier, I’m surprised at how clean the floors look. That means they were pretty rough before and I’ll be winning no good housekeeping awards anytime soon. Well, at least I don’t have clutter. I like space between my molecules. I like being able to see at a glance into all the corners and under everything in my rooms. I could argue that after “a friend” put down the tile, they did not tell me it needed to be sealed.  So the white tile shows the ground-in dirt from the past decade and every scuff mark ever made. I thought I’d have to have a professional out to buff the floors then seal it, but I see I can keep it a lot cleaner than I’ve been doing, with little effort. I like not having to use chemicals on my floor to get it clean. The refillable water reservoir lasts about the length of time to takes to do a room (maybe 15 minutes), letting it steam up to 15 seconds on tough areas. Good investment, I’m digging it!

I’ve been cleaning my floors like a mad man

UPDATE: I used it about 2-3 times a month for six months, then let it sit for 2 months. It no longer dispenses the steam and the little screw-on water reservoir cap is coming apart as it would do from being over tightened.  I never over tightened it. Other reviewers said this as well, although this was the highest reviewed steam mop at Amazon.  It was out of warranty and no replacement part available.
