What is a "steam mop"?
A steam mop is a cleaning tool that uses hot steam to clean and sanitize floors. It works by heating water to produce steam, which is then released through a mop head to loosen dirt, grease, and stains from the floor surface. Steam mops are effective at cleaning without the need for harsh chemicals, making them an eco-friendly option. They are commonly used on hard floors such as tile, wood, and laminate. Steam mops also help kill bacteria and germs, providing a deeper clean while leaving floors dry and shiny.
