    Steam mop with the blue noodle type cover, (bought separately from Amazon) as i find the white ones that come with the mop can leave streaks.

    Steam mop, I wouldn't be without it. Drys instantly, never leaves streaks. Faffin about with mops, buckets, bottles of stuff, I can do without, but it works for others. The choice is yours.

    Those of you who are happy with your steam mops - which ones have you got? I do fancy getting one but have seen mixed reviews..

    I got a Sainsbury's steam mop, it was £29.99, came with two pads, a water filter jug thing, and a triangle thing for steaming your carpets. It's brilliant.

    Hi
    I have got a black and decker steam mop. Easy to use and just stick the pads in the washing machine.

    Isn't there a danger of a steam mop gradually taking the lacquer/ top coating off a laminate floor? Am I worrying unnecessarily?
