subject: Choosing A Steam Cleaner That's Right For You [print this page] This steam mop made by Bissell is a great cleaning tool that wipes any grimy surface clean in only 30secs. Once youve got the steam mop filled with water, you simply wait for it to heat up, pull the easy to use trigger, and away you go (each fill equals about 15 minutes of continuous steam). The steam cleaner head is about an inch short of one foot which is where all the steam is released.
Attached to the bottom of the nearly one foot long steam head, is a mopping pad made from terry cloth material which you can easily throw in the washing machine with a load of laundry when it reaches the point of needing to be cleaned. The head which the cloth mop pad is attached to maneuvers easily around corners and under cabinetry because of the ability to swivel combined with thin, yet durable structure.
If youre wondering whether the Bissell Steam Cleaner is suitable for your flooring type, then the chances are probably, yes. The following are the types of flooring surfaces the Bissel Steam mop can be safely used on:
-Marble
-Ceramic
-Stone
-Vinyl
-Laminate
-Linoleum
-Sealed Hardwood
When you use your Bissell steam mop on these types of surfaces, you can expect a drying time of no more than several seconds. The filter on this model is attached on the outside and uses a simple color changing bead system to let you know when it should be replaced with a new one. One thing that some people do to reduce the frequency of filter replacements is fill the water reserve with water that has been distilled.
Standard features such as the ergonomic handle, light that comes on when steam is ready, additional terry cloth mopping pad, bracket that makes mounting on the wall, and the 1 year manufacturers warranty are the kinds of things that make the Bissell Steam Mop Cleaner a top notch cleaning item!
