NOW CLOSED Put a Kärcher Steam Cleaner through its paces (RRP £219.99) and get to keep it after testing.

[AlexMumsnet]

We've been asked by Kärcher to find 30 UK based Mumsnetters keen to put their Steam Cleaners to the test.

Kärcher say their Steam Cleaners "revolutionise home cleaning, tackling any and all frequent and difficult cleaning tasks with professional results and abolishing the need for hours of endless scrubbing! Our steam cleaner is a natural and environmentally-friendly solution that provides a family-focussed alternative from chemical cleaners that aggravate allergies and are harmful to children, killing 99.99% of all common household bacteria without the need for detergents"*

They are particularly looking for MNers who are brand new to steam cleaning and who are keen to make light work of their cleaning needs. From day to day tasks such as laminate flooring and kitchen surfaces, to those jobs we all put off such as limescale and mould in the bathroom and tough grease on the oven hood in the kitchen.

For more info on the Karcher steam cleaner that's available for test, click here - testers will be trying out the SC2.500C model. Kärcher say "We are thrilled to have created a product that achieves professional standard cleaning without the need for chemicals just using tap water. Our steam cleaners are perfect for busy parents who don't have the time to spend hours on end cleaning but want to achieve a deep down clean. 99.99% of all household bacteria are killed when thoroughly cleaning with the Kärcher Steam Cleaners hard household surfaces."

We're also looking for a further 5 testers to demonstrate the versatility of the cleaner by taking video footage of it tackling a variety of common cleaning issues, including:

~ Everyday dirt on laminate floors or tiles
~ Baked on oven grease (on the over hood)
~ Mould/limescale on bathroom tiles

If you're happy to make a film for Kärcher please tick the box on the application form. Videos will be recorded using a smartphone, so please make sure you have one of the models listed on the form. If you're selected you'll be asked to film yourself in your home using the product. You'll then need to send the footage here to MN. Please note the videos will be edited into a montage and will feature on the Kärcher website as well as on retailer websites. It may also be used elsewhere (eg Facebook, MN) - your name will not be used.

If you're selected to take part then you'll be asked to leave feedback at least twice on a thread on Mumsnet: we'd like first impressions and then some comments after you've used the cleaner a few times. You'll also be asked to add a review to the steam cleaner review section on MN.
Everyone who takes part in the product test and leaves their feedback as requested gets to keep the Kärcher steam cleaner after testing (RRP £219.99).

Additionally, the five testers who send in video footage as required will be sent a £20 John Lewis voucher.
Deliveries will take place on Thursday 21st, Friday 22nd and Monday 25th March. Please indicate on the sign up form what day and time slot you prefer.

done it!
I have had such a rubbish day today this would literally make up for all the chaos I have endured!
Another one who missed out on the Dyson too.
I would never convince DH to spend this much on one of these - but reckon he would secretly love it!
Fingers crossed.

If I get one will I be able to swoosh through my impossibly clean home with my steam cleaner and cloth and do all my cleaning with a dreamy look on my face just pausing once to smile at my beautiful, happy crawling baby or will I still have to do the cleaning while breaking up world war 3 between the big 2 and stopping the baby from eating paper/emptying the bin/licking the toilet/climbing into the dishwasher?

[Indith]

I also ticked "other" and there was not box to specify what it was. Although I was quite happy about that because I don't know what my phone is. It says Sony on it so I know that much.....

[mrspink27]

Fingers crossed here to... Wonder whether it would transform me into a house cleaning wizardess!!!

[ByTheWay1]

Another one with fingers crossed- my kitchen NEEDS one of these - it really, really does!!!

[Lavendersbluedillydilly1969]

Done. Never tried a feedback thread before, would love to get it.

[WithASpider]

For the smartphone question there's no box to specify the other. Have a Galaxy Note :)

[janey223]

Wonder how it stands up to my 14m olds breakfast porridge after bedtime! :D mine mine please?

[Tortoise]

Done. Would love to test this. The mould in my bathroom is horrendous!

[celebmum]

ooh done!

very excited about this! was just talking about loving a steam cleaner this afternoon!

[CharlotteBronteSaurus]

I'll have a go. I have had some Sainsbury's mock-shreddies stuck to my laminate for days now.

[NotSoNervous]

Really really want to try

[damnitdamnit]

Hope I am picked I need something to motivate me!

[Bimbledorf]

I don't even like cleaning, but I would LOVE to try this out! Anything to make life easier and steam cleaners do look like they are incredibly satisfying to use.

Well those American infomercials that I can't quite tear my eyes away from make out prove they do.

[teenyweenytadpole]

Done! I missed out on a hoover trial a while back so pretty pretty please!! I have an HTC phone (explorer) but it wasn't listed so I ticked "other".

[PigeonStreet]

Done and everything crossed...

[Grockle]

Done!

[SerenaJoy]

Done. OMG pick me, I would LOVE one of these bad boys!

[VinoEsmeralda]

I've literally just finishes mopping my kitchen floor with the VAC steam cleaner from my neighbour- impressed with result so would love one that is more all round such as the above!

Also DS gave me 5 vouchers to hoover and mop down stairs for Mothering Sunday :-)

[sharond101]

This sounds like my new cleaning lady.

[pearlgirl]

Have signed up- would love one of these.

[Woofers]

Pick me. I have a filthy kitchen floor which is hammered by several sets of muddy paws and shoes. Please please

[Dysgu]

Fingers crossed - I have just filled in the survey and would love to have one of these. I can just imagine it is the ONE thing that will enable me to get the house sorted for getting the house clean ready for the arrival for DC3.

It didn't say anything about needing to live on the UK mainland so hopefully they will pick me (I would have been happy to tick the box for filming but not sure what phone DP has and he has gone to bed already!)
