Steam Mops

Steam Mops

If your home includes hard floor surfaces that need regular mopping, you might consider using a steam mop instead of a traditional mop and bucket. These are great for cleaning up mud, spills and pet stains on hard surfaces, and they also remove 99% of the bacteria on floors. This makes them an excellent choice for homes with young children and pets.

However, these steam-fuelled mops do come with a caveat: they’re not recommended for all hard surfaces. They’re perfect for tiles, particularly porcelain tiles, but are not recommended for all other surfaces.

Can you use a steam mop on wood floors?

One of the frequent questions we are asked at Godfreys is, “Can you use a steam mop on wood floors?” The answer is sometimes, timer flooring manufacturers don’t recommend using a steam mop on all timber floors. That’s because the steam can damage unsealed hardwood floors over time. Sealed timbers, however, are able to withstand the heat unless they contain cracks where steam can work its way inside the wood. Drastic heat changes can warp certain timbers, so for unsealed hardwood floors, a quick clean with a regular mop is recommended. As a general rule, we wouldn't recommend using a steam mop on hardwood floors. 

Can you use a steam mop on laminate floors?

Another frequent question we are asked is, “Can you use a steam mop on laminate floors?” The answer is no, it’s not advisable to use a steam mop on laminate flooring because this type of flooring doesn’t handle moisture well. In fact, moisture can cause the laminate panels to warp very quickly. Some people state that steam cleaning laminate flooring is better than wet mopping, which is true. This is because a wet mop leaves water standing for too long, making it more likely that the panels will warp. Steam dries in seconds, so it shouldn’t cause the same problem as wet mopping. But when you have paid for new flooring, it’s often better to err on the side of caution.

Can you use a steam mop on tiled floors?

Yes! These mops are perfect for cleaning tiled floors and will quickly remove surface spills, muddy marks and bacteria. Your steam mop can also lift light, fresh stains from your grout. If you need your grout thoroughly cleaned, however, it’s best to engage a professional who specialises in doing so, because a steam mop is unlikely to help with heavily-stained grout.
