A steam mop is a favorite device of many housewives who use it to clean and disinfect using steam.
How a steam mop works
The principle of operation of a steam mop is to use water heated to the state of steam to effectively remove dirt, grease stains and bacteria from the surface.
Steam easily penetrates the structure of the dirt, softens it and as a result you can easily remove it from any surface without using additional chemicals.
The advantages of the device are, of course, efficiency, environmental friendliness and versatility, but it also has its drawbacks.
Disadvantages of Steam Mops
The first negative quality of the device is its heating time. Some models require additional minutes to heat the water. As a result, the cleaning time increases.
In addition, for some people the weight and size of steam mops are a disadvantage. They are usually heavier and larger than regular ones, which makes them difficult to store and use.
A significant disadvantage is the cost: steam mops are several times more expensive than traditional cleaning products.
Do not forget that additional costs will be incurred by regular replacement of filters and other consumables.
Finally, despite their versatility, steam mops are not suitable for cleaning absolutely all surfaces, so be sure to read the manufacturer's instructions before use.
