Steam cleaners

[annaSab]

have been looking at these and seen some good/bad reviews of them. So many to choose from. Looking for one that could be used on the floor, especially grout that needs refreshing. Also on upholstery, teenage boys and trying to keep games room sofas clean even with throws is a struggle. Also just general cleaning around the house as I hear they are great for getting rid of grime and a good idea with deep cleaning that needs to happen more often with covid-19.
Had looked at the karcher as have a pressure cleaner and window cleaner that are fab. But some say steam cleaners don't last long.

I've just bought a Bush one - £30 from Argos (£10 off at the moment!). Has good reviews and is a reasonable price. Just used it on my tiled floor and it did a great job! Like you, I want to use for other things too.

Did that one help with grout and did it come with accessories at all or just the mop?

Best thing ever for defrosting the freezer, it's also good at small spots cleaning like getting blu rack out of the carpet. Our old one .I likes as a team mop, but we replaced it with a polit vapertto handy, and the floor tool is on quite a short "stick" which isn't as comfortable to use.

We do steam clean suitcases a lot of the places DH visits for work are in areas where bed bugs are a big problem.

However I don't do much other cleaning with it, it's good a small areas, but you have to be careful. I cleaned the limescale from behind the taps, but ended up having to replace all the silicone sealant I'd blasted out as well!

For grimy jobs like cleaning the hob I find I'm just moving grease around, it's ood at the fiddly corners but I have to do normal style clean around the whole area afterwards.
