Is this a steam mop or just a water solution?

a water solution with brushes that can get into the cracks and crevices in my floor like nothing I've tried before. I am VERY glad that I bought it!

It's a mixture of water and cleaner. The manual suggests using warm water. There's definitely no steam, though.

Just a water solution. But I like that after I clean with solution I can spray clear water suck it up and make sure the floor is really clean and rinsed.

No - you add it to a small container attached to, but not part of, the water reservoir. Don't know anything about the steam mop. Check the owners manual for that appliance and check the cleaner solution bottle for instructions.

Hi, I met a Steam Mop rep in a home fair I attended. He advised that we use only DISTILLED Water. He said that our mop will last much longer is=f we use that. I am not sure what "purified water" is so just use distilled water and you will be fine. By the way, I love my mop!

Yes, it is only Steam. I add a little bit of white vinegar to clean and freshen my tile floors.

A steam mop will get out sticky/ stuck-on dirt much better (note: I have a Haan steam mop, not a Shark). You've got the heat of the steam helping you. However, I found a steam mop to be labor-intensive for just a basic cleaning. You have to fill the water tank, wait for it to heat up, and then the drag across the floor made for a lot harder work. The e-cloth mop does not let you press hard to get out stuck-on stuff. What I do is pour a little vinegar on stuck-on dirt and sometimes this will allow it to come up with the e-cloth mop, otherwise I scrub those spots by hand.

Of course, any steam mop will leave some moisture on the floor, but this one has three steam settings, so you can increase or decrease the amount of steam you get. I usually use the medium setting and have not had a problem with too much water on the floor, so my answer would be yes, it dries quickly.

I haven't found ANY steam mop that will 'clean' grout very well. It will clean fairly well if you let the mop sit on an area for a few seconds, but it won't scrub the grout lines if that's what you're looking for. For that matter neither does my hard floor cleaner by another well known floor cleaning company.

YES YES YES....its amazing! Its a micro fiber mop. i use it with one of those ring out buckets, the one that has a round net looking opening on top and you insert mop twirl mop and press down to wring it out. This is the best mop ever to soak up water. you will be so happy about this purchase.

This is not a vacuum. It is it steamer that produces steam to clean surfaces. You will need to use a cloth to wipe off the moisture. It works quite well.

I have used only RO water in my mop. The scented water that came with it smelled awful, in my opinion. However, I do put a few drops of essential oil on the inside of the mop pad. The steam diffuses the smell nicely, and it hasn't left any oily streaks or spots on my floor. I use mostly lavender because I like that smell but I've also used grapefruit, mint, whatever oil I have on hand.

The manufacturer recommends just using plain, distilled water ( I just use my tap water) and honestly? It works amazingly well with just the power of steam. I wouldn't recommend putting anything in the water except maybe a little white vinegar here and there to reduce any internal buildup you may get from calcium or lime deposits. I have added a few drops of essential oil to other steamers I've used in the past ( lemon or orange ) to make the house smell nice while I was mopping, but its definitely not something they recommend, so use it at your own risk!

Hi Allie....LOL.. I wondered the same thing too.. Nope.. just hold it down for about 5-10 seconds and mop away.. the steam still comes out for a few seconds on it's own and the mop part is wet enough to clean. Happy cleaning.. I love mine!!

I use a wet piece of cloth (or whatever you prefer) and attach it to the mop.

It's not a sponge mop. There are disposable cloths that you attach to it. I use microfiber cloths and push them around with the mop.

I wish I could help, but I honest don't remember. There are 2 different kinds of pans, and I THINK it comes with 1 of each, and I ordered 1 of each extra. I do love the steam mop.

I only have the Bissell steam mop experience. I read many reviews and decided to get this one and is extremely happy with the product.You must use distill water.It is very light which i like.

No that is not normal. I can see and feel the steam coming out of my mop. Make sure you have plent of water in the holder, plug it in and wait until you can see the steam coming out. You may need to hit it gently on the floor if there is no steam after maybe 10 minutes. If none of this works, you may have a defective mop. Mine steams lots! Gay
