If disinfection is important to you (and it might be if you have toddlers or pets) the steam mop is going to be a lot less effective at killing various germs vs. a classic mop which exposes the floor to a chemical that actually kills germs on contact. The temperature of the steam mop is no where high enough to kill bacteria not to mention there's not enough contact time to do so.

Also the steam mop requires you to constantly be connected to a cord (like a regular vacuum cleaner) while a mop gives you much more freedom of movement.

You just answered my question about the warmth issue. I hate that! I just bought my first steam mop and I’m taking it back for a cheaper one simply for the steam effect for a quick clean but that spin mop seems like it will get the job just as good as well.
For those who don’t like the whole dirty water situation for the typical mop do this (copied and pasted from another comment I responded to): There’s a hack on how to avoid that. I watched some video they have the two sided twist releaser reservoir type? (Idk the name 😅spin mop? Like in the vid^^) but then they have a clean bucket they added of water and cleaner to the open side (just stick in the open space if it’s a good size it will just fit right in) and boom 3-in-1 system. Clean water/solution> twist mechanism to release dirty water> dirty water is released and not contaminating the clean bucket.

You mentioned wetting the steam mop prior to starting to clean. I wonder about wetting the mop with a cleaner. My floors are VCT and recommended to use an Armstrong cleaning product. I'm thinking about dipping the cloth into an Armstrong solution. What do you think?

Very thorough video. I have the same reservations about the steam mop and its dirty mop head. Changing out dirty water, and it taking a little longer to mop, just seems to be better to me.

It would be interesting to mod the O-Cedar to have a flat immersion heater at the bottom so the cleaning solution constantly stays hot throughout the session.

I also have LVP flooring throughout. Everything that I have read has said not to use water. I have both cleaning systems in this video. So do you still use these systems on your floors without ruining your floors?

I have a shark steam mop and love it but I do both methods

Hi! What mop head are you using on the spin mop? Lately, the O’Cedar spin mop replacements heads have been difficult to use (very flimsy and actually scraping by floor). But I’m only finding solid white replacement heads. Where did you find the blue/white on your mop? Thanks!

I like steam mops but I noticed when the floor is dry it leaves a haze instead of a nice shine that a regular mop would give you which is kind of strange maybe it's the water I use I use distilled water because they say that doesn't damage the machine.

Well i have a steam mop ordered but i think ill return it and keep using my spray mop!!

[jdadams]

I have the Bissell power fresh steam mop and I think it's a lot better than the shark I had a shark steam mop before and loved it but my Bissell picks up more dirt then the shark steam mop

[sarah]

the steam mop can also damage the lvp over time

[Jess.-.]

I think I saw that in order to get the steam mop to disinfect you have go back and forth at least 15 times.

[lynnettawilliams]

I would just mop ocedar with youre cleaner let the floor dry then go over after it drys with a steam mop only water extra clean disifectant floors

[krclinton]

Aren’t you washing with dirty water after a while with the o’ dear mop?

[meh]

What about a vacuum mop vs a bucket mop

[happilyeverlambert]

I was thought by my mom that you mop regularly then finish with a steam mop.

[MommaFig]

You really like steam mops, never ever ever use them on hardwood floors. You'll trash your floor so fast

Too much to hear and too little to see
