Bissell Steam Mop Product Reveiw
My first allergy was to a well known, pine-scented floor cleaner, commonly used to mop grocery and convenience stores. I stopped using it, of course, but the sensitivity never went away. One good whiff and my sinuses swell. The blinding headache nearly drives me to my knees.
As you can imagine, I don't like commercial chemical cleansers. Instead I look for natural solutions. I was delighted to discover I could clean with vinegar and water. Yes, vinegar cleans more than windows! It's great on linoleum floors.

The advertised model took two weeks to ship, so I bought a Bissell, a name I felt I could trust. It arrived a few days later and I eagerly set to work on that blasted floor. Dirt lifted out of those squiggly crevices in an instant. In ten minutes my huge kitchen floor was clean. No chemicals. No cleansers. No mop buckets. No fuss. No mess.
I recently moved. The wood floors were covered with plaster dust. No problem. Bathroom floors had rug backing stuck to the tile. No problem. Years of grime was stuck to the kitchen cabinets and wainscoting. Scrubbing, even with a soft cloth, rubbed off the wood stain and stripped off the color if I wasn't careful. As dirty as the cabinets were, the wainscoting was worse. On impulse, I got out my Bissell steam mop. Sure enough, one swipe and the thick gluey muck was gone.
Now I have discovered that you can also buy hand-held and canister steam cleaners (like canister vacuum cleaners). Their various attachments allow you to clean all surfaces: bathrooms, countertops, walls and floors—and you can even use them to steam your clothes. I'm sold!
