Why Should People with Asthma and Allergies Consider the Bissell Steam Mop Bare Floor Steam Cleaner?

 

review continues below ↓

If you have asthma or allergies, cleaning floors with harsh chemicals can cause as many problems for your medical condition as those asthma and allergy triggers you are trying to remove. A product like the Bissell Steam Mop Bare Floor Steam Cleaner can clean your floors, removing dirt and grime as well as possible triggers of allergy and asthma symptoms — without using chemicals to perform the job. Evidence also suggests that steam cleaners can even kill dust mites, which are a common cause of asthma and allergy symptoms (although these would not be found in significant numbers on your hard floors).

Features of the Bissell Steam Mop Bare Floor Steam Cleaner

The Bissell Steam Mop Bare Floor Steam Cleaner has a number of features to make cleaning your floors quick and easy. The power cord is long enough to give you a good cleaning range. The handle has a unique shape to help reduce strain during use of the Bissell Steam Mop Bare Floor Steam Cleaner.

One of the facets I most liked about this steam cleaner is the speed with which it heats the water. Once you place the water in the tank and plug in the machine, about 30 seconds is all it takes to heat. When the steam mop is ready, a light on the front of the steam cleaner glows. Another great feature is that you don't have to wait for the Bissell Steam Mop Bare Floor Steam Cleaner to cool down before you add more water. If you run out of water, just refill the tank and keep cleaning.

The two terry cloth cleaning pads that come with the Bissell Steam Mop Bare Floor Steam Cleaner are very thick and absorbent. Two cleaning pads allow you to use one while the other is in the wash. The steam mop’s water filter is clear plastic that allows you to see the media inside the filter. This media changes colors when it is time to replace the filter, so you don't have to guess.

Cleaning with the Bissell Steam Mop Bare Floor Steam Cleaner

The Bissell Steam Mop Bare Floor Steam Cleaner is great at removing dirt, food particles and many other things from your floors. It works by taking normal tap water and heating it into steam. The steam is then released under pressure. The moist, very hot temperature of the steam combined with the pressure, removes dirt, asthma triggers and debris from your floors with much less effort than an ordinary mop requires.

The only problem I encountered with this steam cleaner was that it did not clean well in the deep grout lines of my ceramic floors. Steam reached into the grout lines, but the terry cloth pads could not reach deep enough to remove the debris well.

The Bissell Steam Mop Bare Floor Steam Cleaner was able to remove every thing else from the surface of my floors. My 4-year-old likes to eat applesauce and is known to spill it and not tell us. Applesauce tends to turn into plastic-like goo when it dries, which I typically end up scraping off by hand. Thanks to the Bissell Steam Mop Bare Floor Steam Cleaner I don't have to do that anymore. The super heated steam melted away the applesauce with no problems at all. A job that used to take lots of time and elbow grease was accomplished in seconds with the Bissell Steam Mop Bare Floor Steam Cleaner.

The Bissell Steam Mop Bare Floor Steam Cleaner also does a great job of removing muddy foot prints and dirt from floors. I was amazed to see how much the Bissell Steam Mop Bare Floor Steam Cleaner was able to remove from what had looked to be an already clean floor.

The Bissell Steam Mop Bare Floor Steam Cleaner is light and easy to use. The low-profile design of the cleaning head cleans easily under bathroom and kitchen cabinets or in tight spaces around toilets.

The Bissell Steam Mop Bare Floor Steam Cleaner can be used on most flooring surfaces including marble, ceramic, stone, vinyl, laminate, linoleum and sealed hardwood floors.
