subject: Why You Should Steam Clean Cleaners [print this page] Mopping the old fashion way is inefficient and a waste of energy. The normal procedure for mopping dirty floors requires you to fill a bucket with hot water and lug it from room to room as your strategically mop from corner to corner- this gets old.
This is the 21st century so theres no reason why you should have to carry a big bucket of hot water around your house just to clean the floors, it doesnt make sense- not to mention its dangerous for some people as you can easily pull your back or strain muscles.
Carrying your bucket around the house while trying to balance the 10ft mop is a big enough pain, but the worst part about this process, is the water tends to get cold and filthy before youre even done with the first room, which means you have to go back to the sink and dump out a ton of water (wasteful), refill the bucket, and repeat the balancing act.
With a Bissell steam mop youll no long have to worry about the hassle and strain of a water bucket as the water reserve is attached right to the mop. Combining the water reserve with a built on handle, carrying the mop around is no problem, even for grandma!
One thing that most traditional mops lack, is the ability to go around structures because their heads are typically fixed in one position. Lacking this basic feature makes it difficult to clean around and under toilets, tables, cabinets, etc., but with Bissell steam mops the heads swivel on a dime and make it really easy to clean in awkward places.
Overall, models such like the Bissell 1867 steam mop bare floor steam cleaner are great alternatives to the primitive stick and bucket and certainly rival most of the other competition brands who just dont match the physical quality thats brought to the table by Bissell.
