what is the best steam mop for cleaning tile floors?

Hi, and thank you for choosing IMShopping!


According to Consumersearch, the best steam mop for sanitizing is the Haan FS-20 Floor Sanitizer.  Here are the pros:

• Sanitizes quickly
• Adjustable handle
• Foot-pedal power switch
• Fine steam is safe on wood
• Adaptors for carpet, hand use

Here's more:

The Haan FS-20 Floor Sanitizer provides steam hot enough to kill germs and dust mites in just one second, so you can keep the mop moving, albeit at a slow pace. The mop head has 15 holes to produce a fine steam. The four-layered microfiber mop covers hold moisture well so floors dry quickly. The power switch is located on the foot pedal so you don't have to hold down a trigger, and the whole mop weighs less than 4 pounds when full of water. Handle length is adjustable, and indicator lights tell you when steam is ready and when to refill. Optional attachments let you use the FS-20 as a carpet sanitizer (*Est. $10) or handheld steamer (*Est. $10). The main drawbacks are that the Haan FS-20 requires a three-minute warm-up time before steam is ready and that the mop head doesn't pivot.

Definitely the Thane H2O Mop Ultra for steam hard floor steam cleaners.  http://www.Thane.com

Bissell 1867-7 Steam Mop Best steam mop Pros: Uses plain water, Sturdy build, Pivoting head gets into corners, Removes scuffs and stuck-on stains, Ready indicator light, Washable mop-head cover Cons: Can't be used on all types of flooring, Doesn't sanitize unless left in place for 15 seconds, Leaves floors wet, 17-foot cord too short for some, Must depress trigger to release steam

I would strongly suggest the CleanFast SteamFast Steam Mop.  It comes in a great value pack that you can even use on the hard floor.  The Shark ones are okay, but not the best.  But if you're looking for something under a 100 dollars, that's the best bet.  Good luck!   Also the Bissell Stick Vacuum is not too bad, but sometimes hard to find in stores. 

The Shark Steam Mop cleans all types of floor surfaces throughout the home.  It totally replaces the traditional mop and bucket. You can use normal tap water however it is not recommended for unsealed wood and "no wax floors."
