Even if you consistently vacuumed and mopped your floors all throughout winter, you might be surprised how much dirt and grime is still lingering in your space. And trust us, you’ll see the horrifying results after you lift up the Bissell steam mop’s cleaning pad. The Bissell floor cleaner uses 1,500 watts of power along with three steam settings to remove many types of messes, including pet accidents, dried juice spills, and dirty tile grout. Plus, the steam mop heats up in as little as 30 seconds, so you can start cleaning almost immediately. To buy: $83 (was $93); amazon.com. The Bissell steam cleaner uses a soft microfiber pad as well as a rougher scrubbing pad to absorb the muck and dirt on sealed floor surfaces, like tile, hardwood, and laminate. And for extremely stubborn messes, just pop down the scrubber tool in the back that’s designed for tackling sticky, dried spills without breaking a sweat. And when you’re done, you can toss the pads right into the wash. It “cleans grout like nothing else,” confirmed a reviewer. Not only does the Bissell steam cleaner get rid of visible filth, it also sanitizes up to 99.9 percent of bacteria and germs. And it does so simply with the power of steam, which means there’s no need for a cleaning solution and no potential streaks or residue left behind on your flooring. “It really amazed [and] shocked me to see how much dirt it picked up,” one shopper said, adding that “the results were very impressive.” Another reviewer who replaced their Swiffer cleaner with this Bissell steam mop said it’s “so embarrassing” to see how much dirt showed up on the pad. “My only fear is, knowing what this thing can remove from my floors, that I’ll obsessively keep steam-cleaning them until I’ve removed the top three layers of flooring.”
