Steam Mops ? Cleaning a house with so many tiles
Page 2 of 2
I bought the Kenwood C5000. Will never use a mop again! Amazing job. Goodbye MOP!
Micro fiber and a low Ph detergant will do the trick..

Great thread! I suggest if you do not want streaking than you need a neutral cleaner pH7 you can find at your local cleaning supply shop and you do not need to rinse the floor afterwards. The trick is to use the old stringer mops, I love them and you should buy one at your local cleaning supply shop, forget about coles and woolies they only sell the cheapy mops.
The trick is to make sure your cleaning fluid does not dry out on its own remember water evapourates but dirt does not. In regards to steam mops they are good to use but they build up soil on the pads to quickly than all the dirt just sits in the porous grout. If you dry sweep or vaccum first than this will help just make sure you dry that area before moving onto other areas.
If you want a simple floor machine that works very well than I suggest the mini floor polisher we use it all the time very easy to use and it scrubs the floor and dries the floor. Here is the link they are not cheap but well worth it.

I've had a steam mop for years and am on the fence about them. When my kids were babies & toddlers I liked using the steam mop because the floors dried very quickly, whereas mop & bucket leaves wet floors & my son would play with the bucket of water if I used that. But it was no good for a quick mop up when you've had a spillage because it takes a while to heat up. And when doing the family room & kitchen it would usually run out of water. After refilling you have to wait for it to heat up again. It was a bad design actually because you couldn't just top it up before starting, you had to wait for it to run out. The other problem was the pad getting too dirty so you'd have to change it a couple of times & then, what load do you add a filthy mop pad to? And if you need to mop again before you've washed it? But maybe new ones are better.
for me - traditional mop / bucket works

Hello Craig and everyone
Your post is over a year ago, do you still consider that floor machine as the best choice? I also think $1k for Floormac All-In-One Mini Floor Scrubber & Polisher is expensive
After more than 2 months trying to clean by traditional mob/bucket works, I know I must find out a cleaning machine for our over 150m2 living tiles. I'm now shopping around for our good choice. If you have known a good tile cleaning machine, please share with me. Many thanks for your help!

Yes I sure do, it is the best floor machine around at the moment. I have many of my customers who have purchased one and they all say how fantastic it is. You can simply mop on or spray on your floor cleaner agitate with the pad attached then throw a towel under it to dry the floor.

I made my husband sit through the TV infomercial for a steam mop. He isn't convinced.
Mum has one of those "Shark" steam mops & is going to bring it over and do my floors.
The grey shows up a bit of dirt, but it will settle down once we get turf down and our Golden Retriever is outside again.
