Aldi Homestyle Steam Mop

downshifted

I bought my first steam mop in Aldi on Sunday, thinking for £25 I've not wasted too much if I hate it - but it seems a great improvement on getting down on hands and knees and scrubbing! So far I am very pleased with my purchase - anyone else got one?

I got one - does yours leave the floor really wet? Mine does. My friend who has a steam mop - different make - tells me her floors dry really quickly. Have you tried it on carpet?

I use one every day as my job. I am a cleaner in a nursing home where one is used in a small dining room. The floor is pretend wood, I think its a type of vynal flooring. The one I use aas £30.00 from Sainsbury's, I love it because almost as soon as I have mopped an area of floor its dry, so I do not need to worry about slipping on a wet floor.

Also, I can confirm it works brilliantly on spills like juice and coffee that have been left to dry :rotfl:

As I said - I thought the floor was left quite wet. It could be operator error as I haven't used one before.

Steam mop taken back to shop and got a refund. First time I used it - left floor really wet. Second time - no steam!

Mine has gone back too as floor left really wet. To be fair, there was no quibble when it was returned.

The £30 Sainsburys mop is brilliant.

I know this isn't very MSE, but I use Aldi so soft ironing water in my steamer.
We live in a hard water area and I didn't want limescale building up in it. I also like the smell when I'm cleaning the floors.

It's 89p and a bottle lasts ages.

I've had three steam mops now, different brands and costs to buy
they last about three months and then they self destruct...I've given up on them
when the last one broke I took it apart to see how it worked and what had broken...and had a good laugh..what a pile of ****p it was i'm surprised it ever "cleaned" anything...
i wont be handing over any more hard earned money for such a badly designed over hyped piece of......well
never again
